The Minnesota Vikings made a trade at the deadline last year that sparked both life and fun into the season after Kirk Cousins suffered a torn Achilles tendon. That player was quarterback Josh Dobbs, dubbed by some as “The Passtronaut.”
On Monday, Dobbs struck a deal with the San Francisco 49ers for one year and $2.25 million guaranteed, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. There is also $750,000 available to Dobbs in playing-time incentives.
It was quite the wild season for Dobbs and the Vikings. He only started four games for the team but will forever live in Vikings lore for his performance off the bench against the Atlanta Falcons, leading a 31-28 comeback victory after only being with the team for five days.
The Vikings signed Sam Darnold this offseason to be the bridge quarterback, and Nick Mullens and Jaren Hall will be competing for a spot on the roster.
