The Minnesota Vikings are signing veteran quarterback Carson Wentz to a one-year contract, per The Insiders. The agreement brings an experienced signal-caller to the Vikings roster as the team continues to address its depth chart ahead of the upcoming season.
According to the report from The Insiders, Wentz started five games last season and was credited with keeping his team's competitive hopes alive. This production came despite the quarterback navigating a significant injury during that stretch. Wentz now transitions to Minnesota, where he joins a quarterback room that currently includes JJ McCarthy and Sam Darnold.
The addition of Wentz provides the Vikings with an option under center who has recent starting experience in the league. The one-year nature of the deal offers flexibility for the organization as they evaluate the position. While the specific financial terms of the contract were not immediately available, the report indicates the deal is set to be finalized as the team moves through its offseason schedule.
Wentz will begin integrating into the Vikings system alongside the existing group of quarterbacks. The team is expected to provide further details once the signing is officially processed through the league office.
