## Resource

The Vikings’ quarterback depth is already stacked with Kyler Murray, J.J. McCarthy, Carson Wentz, and Max Brosmer—but they’re still eyeing a potential upgrade. With Anthony Richardson’s name resurfacing, the Colts may be moving on from him, creating a rare opportunity for Minnesota to snag a raw, high-potential QB with a full season to develop under Coach O’Connell before he hits free agency in 2026. It’s a bold move—if McCarthy doesn’t win the starting job, Richardson could be the perfect developmental project, turning a roster bonus into long-term value. The Vikings are clearly thinking ahead, exploring every avenue to strengthen their QB room. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
