Could Ryan Tannehill be headed to Minnesota
The Minnesota Vikings have reportedly ended their pursuit of free-agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers and are now in discussions with veteran quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
The Vikings have expressed confidence in their current starting quarterback, J.J. McCarthy, who was the 10th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Despite McCarthy’s recent recovery from a torn meniscus, the team is committed to him as their starter. However, they are seeking to bolster their quarterback depth with an experienced backup.
Ryan Tannehill, 36, did not play during the 2024 season, choosing to be selective about his next opportunity. Prior to his hiatus, Tannehill had stints with the Miami Dolphins and the Tennessee Titans, bringing a wealth of experience to any potential team.
The Vikings’ decision to move away from Aaron Rodgers comes as he continues to explore other opportunities, including potential engagements with the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers.
As the situation develops, the Vikings appear focused on securing a reliable veteran presence to support McCarthy, with Tannehill emerging as a leading candidate.
