The Minnesota Vikings have added another quarterback to a crowded room.

The Vikings re-signed quarterback Carson Wentz to a one-year deal. Wentz previously served as the team’s backup quarterback, and filled in for sophomore quarterback J.J. McCarthy when he went down with injury. With Wentz, McCarthy, and former first overall pick Kyler Murray in the fold, the stage is set for an intense competition for the starting spot this offseason.
