Vikings Considering Kyler Murray, Geno Smith

Sunday, March 1, 6:17 AM

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler hears that the Minnesota Vikings are considering Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) and Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith as they outline their plan for a veteran signal-caller this offseason. The Miami Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa and Atlanta Falcons' Kirk Cousins "are also on their radar." None of those four QBs are free agents, but Cousins will be soon, and the others are available via either a trade or, eventually, via free agency if they are released. The Vikings need a contingency plan for J.J. McCarthy, who couldn't stay healthy and struggled in his first full season as the starter in 2025. Many QBs view the Vikings as an attractive destination, so they shouldn't have too much trouble finding a veteran to pair with McCarthy for the upcoming season. Fowler thinks Smith going to Minnesota makes a lot of sense. He's due $18.5 million in guarantees in 2026, but has another $8 million that guarantees on the third day of the new league year.
