Vikings executive vice president of football operations Rob Brzezinski, who is handling the General Manager duties for now, said earlier this week that the team would explore all their options at quarterback. One of those options is Anthony Richardson.
Cameron Wolfe of NFL Media reports that the Vikings and Richardson have “mutual interest.”
The Colts have given Richardson permission to seek a trade.
The Vikings want to add competition to their quarterbacks room. J.J. McCarthy, the 10th overall pick in 2024, completed 57.6 percent of his passes for 1,632 yards with 11 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in his first season as a starter.
The Vikings finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs.
