US EditionVikings Sign Carson Wentz, Will They Trade for Adam Thielen?
The Vikings added experienced quarterback Carson Wentz, who has 94 NFL starts, to back up J.J. McCarthy and traded Sam Howell to the Eagles due to Howell's disappointing camp.
- On Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings signed veteran quarterback Carson Wentz and traded quarterback Sam Howell to the Philadelphia Eagles to clear roster space.
- After working Wentz out over the weekend, the Minnesota Vikings sought a veteran backup behind projected starter J.J. McCarthy, as Howell struggled in camp and missed the final exhibition game.
- Wentz brings a resume of 94 starts, 62.7% completion, 22,410 yards, 153 touchdowns, and served as backup to Patrick Mahomes with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024.
- The Eagles acquired Sam Howell and a 2026 sixth-round pick, slotting Howell behind Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts as Tanner McKee, their backup, nurses a finger injury; they traded a 2026 fifth-round and 2027 seventh-round pick to Minnesota.
- The moves give Minnesota Vikings extra draft capital despite a 20-slot drop and mark another trade in Sam Howell's nomadic career since 2022.
