Carson Wentz News
Thursday, March 19, 6:29 AM
The Minnesota Vikings are adding quarterback depth on Thursday by re-signing veteran Carson Wentz to an undisclosed one-year deal, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Despite dealing with a significant shoulder injury last year, Wentz started five games for Minnesota in 2025 and kept the team alive. He will now return to the Vikes in a QB room that now includes former Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray, J.J. McCarthy, and Max Brosmer. The 33-year-old completed 65.1% of his pass attempts in his five starts last year, throwing for 1,216 yards, six touchdowns, and five interceptions while filling in for the injured McCarthy. It was an uphill battle for Wentz despite plenty of receiving options, and he will head into his 11th year in the NFL as the QB3 for the Vikings. Wentz underwent season-ending surgery on his left (non-throwing) shoulder in late October, but he's expected to be a full participant in the team's offseason program.

Tua Tagovailoa News
Wednesday, July 29, 5:15 AM
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is reportedly dealing with back tightness to begin training camp, but head coach Kevin Stefanski does not appear to be overly concerned about his availability moving forward, telling reporters, "He will be out there sooner rather than later." Atlanta signed Tagovailoa to a one-year, veteran minimum contract following his release from the Dolphins, and with the Falcons having one of the league's few unsettled quarterback situations, there was an expectation that he could gain an early edge in his competition with Penix, as the 2024 first-round pick continues to recover from the knee injury that ended his 2025 campaign. Unfortunately, the 28-year-old Tagovailoa is experiencing back tightness, causing the team to sign veteran Cooper Rush on Wednesday, two days before the first practice of the summer. Tagovailoa's ailment adds one more wrinkle to a battle that already carried considerable fantasy ramifications, and drafters will need to monitor his status throughout camp. The 2023 Pro Bowler currently ranks as RotoBaller's QB30.
