ESPN reported Lindsey Thiry, the Vikings are working hard on Saturday quarterback Carson Wentz.
This is where the Vikings want a solid quarterback in the roster behind JJ McCarthy, who hasn't yet won his first regular season. Undrafted rookie free agent Max Brosmer trailed McCarthy in the preseason and was the best quarterback among veterans Sam Howell and Brett Rypien.
Wentz encountered a similar offense to Kevin O'Connell while with the Rams in 2023, with Vikings quarterback coach Josh McCown on the bench with the Hawks in 2019.
Wentz, 32, served as the backup to Patrick Mahomes last season.
Wentz was ranked No. 2 in 2016, playing with the Hawks, Colts, Commanders, Rams and Chiefs in his nine seasons.
