Given that Kirk Cousins is expected to leave in free agency, the Vikings may be seeking to pursue a different quarterback.

There will be a lot of roster turnover throughout the NFL offseason, with many well-known players moving to new locations to practice their craft. After a poor 2023 season, it appears that the Minnesota Vikings will be making a significant change in the near future. The organization plans to replace veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins amid speculations that the 35-year-old is interested in joining the Atlanta Falcons.

In the unlikely event that the Vikings trade Cousins to the Falcons, they have a few options to acquire a new starting quarterback. They might also choose to sign a successor through free agency. The Vikings are the clear favorite to sign Baker Mayfield from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with chances of +200 to do so, according to the most recent BetOnline odds.

But there will be other teams vying for Mayfield’s services, including the Vikings. The New England Patriots (+400), the Falcons (+600), the Denver Broncos (+700), and the Las Vegas Raiders (+700) complete the top five teams most likely to sign the Buccaneers quarterback.

It’ll be interesting to see if the other teams can beat the Vikings and Buccaneers to Baker Mayfield’s signature. The Patriots’ quarterback situation remains in flux as they look to begin the Jerod Mayo era in style, the Broncos have a need at quarterback following the release of Russell Wilson, while the Raiders are looking to make a big splash with the impending departure of Jimmy Garoppolo.
