Way-too-early 53-man roster prediction for the Vikings

We get it. It’s early, but here some predictions about what the 53-man Vikings roster could look like.

Quarterback: Kirk Cousins, Sean Mannion, Nate Stanley

Analysis: Minnesota will have quite a quarterback competition for the backup spot. Between Mannion — the backup quarterback in 2019 — Jake Browning and Nate Stanley, the Vikings will have to make some tough decisions, and probably cut at least one of them.

I like Nate Stanley. Maybe he doesn’t beat out Browning, but he could. Cousins is the obvious starter for 2020, but after that, it could be anyone’s game.
