It’s difficult to believe the stars aligned so brilliantly in the free agency sky for the Vikings this offseason. A franchise put in a bad spot thanks to its own mishandling of the quarterback position was gifted a reprieve. Last season suggested even a baseline of competency under center would’ve been enough for Minnesota to push into the playoffs and beyond.

Usually, you have to pay up in free agency for even average play at the league’s premium position. Another year without capable play under center could have forced a seismic shakeup within the organization. And yet Minnesota somehow stumbled into someone who could be much better than that – for effectively none of the cost.
