The Minnesota Vikings have made a change at the quarterback position. After finalizing their 53-man roster on Tuesday, they decided to waive quarterback Jaren Hall and signed Brett Rypien, who was waived this week.
Rypien was most recently with the Chicago Bears this offseason. He has also played for the Denver Broncos, New York Jets, Seattle Seahawks, and Los Angeles Rams after being undrafted in 2019.
Entering the 2019 NFL Draft, Rypien was seen as a fun quarterback prospect out of Boise State with his live arm and excellent touch on his deep ball passes. His success for Boise State hasn’t translated to the NFL, thus his hopping around the league.
As for Jaren Hall, it is unclear whether the Vikings will attempt to sign him to the practice squad or not; they did just draft him last year. He will have to clear waivers; if he does, he can sign with the team on Friday.
