Thanks for the update DP!
I'm sure he is going to give it a little time and the weigh his options. From what I understand he already got paid 6 mil from LA Rams for just being on their roster.

I think he could be a better # 2 than what we got with Hill. And maybe we could only go with 2 QB spots.
If we don't get Foles...Hill should get more preseason playing time this year. And we will see how he fairs.

Edit: Now we will see what Stave has. He couldn't ask for a better opportunity because he was looking like the odd man out.

Not that I don't think Foles couldn't be a decent back up... I think he thinks he is a starter and would do more damage to the Vikings
team chemistry than value he could bring as a backup or starter for us...

I have to admit though.. I would like to see one of the youngsters dethrown Hill.. I think he would be a poor long term back up for us..

Foles would be a great #2 in MN, and no one knows that more then Foles. Look at all the teams (including us) just the past 10 years that have been hurt by QB play.

Darn.

Looks like Tom Hackett's agent reached out to multiple teams, including the Vikings but the interest wasn't mutual.

I don't understand why, he probably would be elevate himself into starter role easier on the Vikings then any of the other teams rumored to be interested in him, imo.

#Vikings sign DT Kendrell Louis

Roster at 90

Matt Vensel:The #Vikings have waived Keith Baxter and Jason Whittingham. As of this morning, Baxter had been hospitalized for an undisclosed reason.

So we're back down to 88.

I think the interest was there for the agent, who reached out to the Vikings. The Vikings weren't interested. Yeah he could push Teddy more than some other teams starting QBs, but the team doesn't want Teddy pushed. Might hurt his feelings.

Hate the way NFL teams handle the position. Especially this team after the last couple anointed starters. Obviously Teddy is better than both of them. That doesn't mean you shouldn't have another option. Especially when the option you have is a washed up never been liability "mentor".

So now were down to 88 I wonder who we are making room for?

Well lets see if they are serious about getting a better backup or just a camp arm.

Good post DP...

I think the Viks would be crazy not to at least kick the tires with Foles. With our num 2 and 3 struggling it worries me a bit to think what would happen if TB went down. If they are serious about a SB run then they have to get serious about a backup.

Yeah, its hard to imagine Stave was brought in to compete so much as to be a camp arm. Hill is obviously not part of the team in order to serve as a longterm backup should anything happen to Teddy. He's a guy who can fill in for a game or two, and be a mentor.

At this point. The Vikings have 2 QBs and one of them is Shaun Hill, who is downright "over" himself. ha.

Foles would be an option. My guess is he's going to play the field and be the backup for 32 teams. Wait for a starting QB to go down and give himself a chance to be a starter again.
