The Kansas City Chiefs have already made their moves in the offseason, and look set heading into the draft.
The Chiefs could use some talent on either side of the football in the draft, just like every other team in the NFL, but they’re in a decent position to continue improving their roster.
However, a few former players are free agents and still without a home. Among them is Carson Wentz, who didn’t have to do much during his short time with the Chiefs.
Wentz joined the team in 2024 and only started in one game. The 32-year-old appeared in three games, completing 12 of his 19 pass attempts for 118 yards.
While he isn’t what he used to be, there’s still value in bringing guys like him into a quarterback room.
Dane Mizutani of Twin Cities believes he could be a fit for the Minnesota Vikings, a team looking for a backup quarterback.
“Maybe the most appealing part about Wentz, however, is that he experienced the highs and lows of being a face of the franchise when he was with the Philadelphia Eagles. The lessons that Wentz learned on that roller coaster ride could help McCarthy navigate the process of stepping into the spotlight with the Vikings,” Mizutani wrote.

If Wentz wants to continue to play for a team with a chance to win a Super Bowl and an excellent system like the Chiefs, Minnesota could be a decent landing spot for him.
He’d also have a slight chance of competing for a starting job, given J.J. McCarthy hasn’t proven anything at the NFL level.
There are other teams that need a backup quarterback, but Minnesota proved how good it was last season, and that should help.
