The Gnat Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 2 minutes ago, SteelKing728 said: So, with the likely implications that the Vikings will draft a QB this year, what happens to either Jaren Hall or Nick Mullens? Will one get released? Traded? Moved to the Practice Squad? I'd think Mullens gone. Hall will be the #3/#2 depending on QB drafted, in my opinion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkolMasterMN Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 We couldn't go into the season with any chance of Mullens starting. Getting a guy like Darnold was a must. Ideally he won't be our starter, but in case the rookie isn't ready, he will be a hell of a lot better than Mullens or Hall. We are in a good spot right now. Time to get ready for the draft and do everything we can to get our guy 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly figured Hall would be gone after we draft another QB at some point. Just the way they went about him last year it sort of felt they just don’t have faith in him. what’s Mullens contract like with a release? Any guaranteed money left?

Hall missed time because of Concussion. I don't think it says much about them keeping him or not. If he was a 2nd round QB, sure, maybe, but not a late round QB. I expect they didn't want to play him at all, if they didn't need to. There was just a need last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywindO2 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Darnold definitely means Mullens is gone. Also means they have a lot of confidence in one or more of the QBs in this draft, and their ability to trade up and get them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Marcus Mariota signed a 1 year deal that’s a $6M base, that can get up to $10M I’ll be curious to see if the final Darnold deal is similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 They can trade Mullens to Atlanta to back up Kirk along with Heinicke. 🤣 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I only come by in bits and spurts. I have an all encompassing football podcast that I’m a co-host on, and that takes up a majority of my externalization of football thoughts, haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Darnold is certainly not the answer, but if you believe that Kyle Shanahan and Kevin O’Connell are the high level QB “gurus” that many give them credit for, then it says something about Darnold that both coaches have brought him in as insurance/backup for their young, or soon to be young QB. I didn’t think that an external bridge QB was necessarily a need. But the vitriol from some Vikings fans over the Darnold signing is crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
