Who Should I Start? Ryan Tannehill or Jared Goff

Friday, March 21, 10:16 PM

The Minnesota Vikings have had talks with former Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill about a potential deal, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Talks are ongoing but nothing is imminent at this moment. For the time being, the Vikings have told free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers that they are not interested and are moving ahead full steam with last year's first-rounder, J.J. McCarthy (knee), as their starting signal-caller in 2025. However, after both Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones left in free agency this offseason, the Vikes continue to search for QB insurance behind McCarthy, and Tannehill could be their guy. The 36-year-old didn't join a team for the 2024 season and played in only 10 games (eight starts) in his final season in Tennessee in 2023, throwing for 1,616 yards, four TDs and seven picks. If Tannehill joins the Vikings, it would strictly be as their backup behind McCarthy.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff posted huge numbers in his team's Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, completing 25 of 41 pass attempts for 338 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Across 14 games this season, the 31-year-old has now completed 69.3% of his pass attempts for 3,672 yards, 29 touchdowns, and five interceptions. With the Lions' defense struggling, Goff has been forced to turn to the air with regularity over the second half of the season. After attempting more than 30 passes in a game just once over the season's first seven weeks, Goff has topped that mark six times over his last seven games. Goff has thrown for at least 250 yards in all seven of those contests. As long as Detroit continues to find itself in pass-heavy game scripts, Goff could continue to have chances to rack up numbers. The Lions will host the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16.
