The mystery of the backup quarterback appears to have finally been solved.
After carefully parsing through all of their options over the past month or so, the Vikings acquired Sam Howell on Saturday afternoon in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks.
Though no official announcement will be made at any point in the near future, it’s likely that the Vikings will move forward with J.J. McCarthy as their starting quarterback and Howell as their backup quarterback.
It was a small price to pay for Howell as the Vikings only had to move back from No. 142 (fifth round) to No. 172 (fifth round) to get the deal done.
