Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings are an interesting team in this discussion, because they have three players they could realistically bring back at the position next year in Case Keenum, Sam Bradford, and Teddy Bridgewater.

The team also like Kyle Sloter a lot, too.

Ultimately, they will lose two of those players in all likelihood, and the way Keenum has played this season, there’s no way they can let him go.

The Vikings have found a winning formula at quarterback with Keenum in the fold, and with Sloter having spent a year in their system, he can be counted on as a backup next season, or they could look to the draft to bring someone in there as well.

I think the Vikings have an easy choice here based on performance, and the injury history of both Bradford and Bridgewater.

Prediction: The Vikings re-sign Keenum to be their starter, let both Teddy Bridgewater and Sam Bradford walk as free agents.
