Who Should I Start? Brett Rypien or Jason Bean

Sunday, August 24, 8:12 PM

The Minnesota Vikings released quarterback Brett Rypien on Sunday as part of a shakeup at the position. Along with moving on from Rypien, they traded Sam Howell to the Philadelphia Eagles and signed Carson Wentz. Their QB room now consists of new starter J.J. McCarthy, Wentz, and undrafted rookie Max Brosmer. Rypien spent most of last season on the Vikings' practice squad and didn't get into any games. The 29-year-old appeared in all three of the Vikings' preseason contests this month and combined to go 15-for-29 for 151 yards and an interception. That wasn't enough to convince the organization to retain him. Since going undrafted out of Boise State in 2019, Rypien has gotten into 10 games (all with the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams) and completed 58.3% of passes with four touchdowns against nine interceptions.

Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Jason Bean completed seven of his nine passes for 94 yards and one interception in the team's win over the Cardinals. Bean also rushed the ball four times for 14 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The former Jayhawk is competing for a spot in a pretty crowded QB room, vying for a QB3 role alongside Kedon Slovis and Sam Ehlinger. Bean will get one final shot to try and make the 53-man roster this Thursday when the Colts take on the Bengals in their final preseason game.
