The Minnesota Vikings are reportedly “eyeing Sean Mannion as the backup quarterback” behind Kirk Cousins, per the Pioneers Press’ Chris Tomasson.
Mannion signed a one-year, $1.27 million deal to stay with the team on Tuesday with at least $277,000 of that contract guaranteed. The guaranteed money, along with the connection that’s already been established with Cousins, makes it clear that Mannion is the team’s emergency glass option, while second-year quarterback Kellen Mond might have to continue being the third wheel.
I recently mentioned Mond potentially being the odd man out due to his tough positioning on the team.
