The Minnesota Vikings continue to operate in a manner that suggests they will indeed go with 2024 first-round pick J.J. McCarthy as their starter. However, the Vikings remain interested in bringing in a veteran option, and the latest option is Ryan Tannehill.
Tannehill was a first-round pick by the Miami Dolphins in 2012. He was a Pro Bowler with the Tennessee Titans in 2019, his first year with the team.
After sitting out 2024, Tannehill could return to the NFL with the Vikings, who have reached out.
“Sources: The #Vikings have had discussions with former #Titans QB Ryan Tannehill about a potential deal,” Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz reported on X on March 21. “Talks are ongoing and nothing is imminent as of right now, sources tell @NFLonFOX.”
Tannehill 64.8% of his passes for 1,616 yards, 4 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions with the Titans in 2023. An ankle injury cost him two weeks before former head coach Mike Vrabel officially benched him in favor of then-rookie second-round pick Will Levis.
Levis has quickly gone from speculative target to the Vikings taking some action after moving on from pursuing Aaron Rodgers.
