The Minnesota Vikings added quarterback Carson Wentz to its roster on Sunday after the team traded Sam Howell to the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Minnesota Vikings shook up the quarterback room over the weekend, trading Sam Howell, terminating the contract of Brett Rypien and signing Carson Wentz. There's also steam of a possible trade for Adam Thielen.

Carson Wentz is back in the NFL and Sam Howell is on the move again. The Minnesota Vikings have signed Wentz to back up quarterback J.J. McCarthy and traded Howell to the Philadelphia Eagles. The reigning Super Bowl champion Eagles are sending a 2026 fifth-round pick and 2027 seventh-rounder to Minnesota for Howell and a 2027 sixth-rounder.
