  Packers | Sean Mannion now a coach    Sat Feb 3, 03:23 PM

Former Seahawks QB Sean Mannion is retiring from the NFL and taking a position on the coaching staff of the Green Bay Packers, per source on Saturday, Feb. 3. Mannion's exact position wasn't revealed but he's expected to work with quarterbacks and the passing game.

Footballguys view: Mannion, a third-round pick of the St. Louis Rams in the 2015 NFL draft, bounced around the league as a backup for several years. Now, he's going to help a passing game with a budding Jordan Love under center. We've seen a move like this before, most recently with Davis Webb joining the Broncos as a QB coach.

  Vikings | Sean Mannion hits the open market    Tue Aug 30, 02:10 PM

Minnesota Vikings QB Sean Mannion was released Tuesday, Aug. 30.

Footballguys view: The Vikings got rid of two quarterbacks on Tuesday. Mannion was the veteran who was seen as the backup to Kirk Cousins. When the team traded for Nick Mullens, that status for Mannion was in question. The Vikings decided to move on from Mannion and Kellen Mond during final roster cut down.

  Vikings | Kellen Mond shares reps    Wed Jul 27, 10:30 PM

Minnesota Vikings QB Kellen Mond and QB Sean Mannion split reps with the second-team offense during practice Wednesday, July 27.

Footballguys view: Mond was overlooked by the previous staff, but he's athletic and has good arm strength. Perhaps new head coach Kevin O'Connell thinks there's something to work with there. Mond and Mannion are competing to be the primary backup to Kirk Cousins in 2022.

Minnesota Vikings QB Sean Mannion will start Week 17's game against the Green Bay Packers, according to head coach Mike Zimmer. QB Kellen Mond will serve as the team's No. 2 quarterback.

Footballguys view: Mannion is a seasoned veteran with three games of starting experience. He hasn't been good in those starts, so downgrade all Vikings skill position players for Week 17. On the flip side, upgrade the Packers defense this week.

  Vikings | Jake Browning has work to do    Wed Aug 26, 09:41 PM

Minnesota Vikings QB Jake Browning 'hasn't done enough' in training camp to challenge QB Sean Mannion for the backup spot, according to Arif Hasan of The Athletic.

Footballguys view: No surprise here. Browning came into the league as an undrafted free agent out of Washington in 2019. He has a history of shoulder problems and average arm strength. He's a game manager with a little more athleticism than some give him credit for. The Vikings did give him $140,000 guaranteed as a UDFA and kept him on the practice squad as a rookie, but he's not ready to be the backup just yet.

Free-agent QB Sean Mannion left Minnesota on Tuesday, April 2, without a deal after visiting with the Minnesota Vikings for the previous two days, and the Vikings will continue their search for a backup QB.

Footballguys view: Mannion is a tall, strong-armed and athletic quarterback who has been developing with the Rams. He's an unrestricted free agent now and has yet to find the right fit for his services. The Vikings let Trevor Siemian (Jets) go in free agency and only have unproven Kyle Sloter behind their starter Kirk Cousins.

  Rams | Sean Mannion continues to struggle    Fri Aug 10, 09:35 PM

Los Angeles Rams QB Sean Mannion completed three of his 13 pass attempts for 16 yards and an interception in a preseason loss to the Baltimore Ravens Thursday, Aug. 9, and Vincent Bonsignore said Mannion has 'struggled' throughout offseason workouts and in training camp.

Footballguys view: Mannion has always had a big arm, size and some athleticism but those tools aren't only what's needed to succeed at the pro level. At this time, Mannion is the primary backup to Jared Goff. With the Rams poised to make a run at the Super Bowl in 2018 one has to wonder if they'll consider upgrading that spot just in case Goff goes down and they have to go to the backup.

  Rams | Sean Mannion the best option?    Sat Jul 22, 10:09 PM

Los Angeles Rams QB Sean Mannion should open the season as the starter ahead of QB Jared Goff, according to former Ram Eric Dickerson. 'Give him a shot,' Dickerson said. 'You drafted him. He was great at Oregon State, playing in a pro-style offense. He's a big guy, got a great arm.'

Footballguys view: Goff has gotten votes of confidence from the new regime and the organization has a huge amount of capital invested in him, but he will have to show out well to keep that confidence. The Rams will certainly give him a lot of chances to fail, so Dickerson's reminder about Mannion probably won't come into play this year unless Goff is a repeated abject failure.

  Rams | Sean Mannion should be backup    Thu Mar 2, 02:08 PM

Los Angeles Rams QB Sean Mannion is expected to be QB Jared Goff's backup in 2017. Mannion believes he's made 'huge strides' and that he's been getting better each day since last season.

Footballguys view: Mannion may have made huge strides, but we doubt he pushes or threatens Goff's job. Goff still has a lot of potential, even if 2016 was a rough year. If the Rams get him weapons, we could see a massive improvement which means, barring injury, Mannion will be holding a clipboard.

  Rams | Sean Mannion might be tabbed to start    Mon Dec 19, 10:05 PM

Los Angeles Rams QB Sean Mannion might be considered for the starting job in Week 16 if QB Jared Goff (concussion) cannot play. The team would like to make a decision by Thursday, Dec. 22, on their starter.

Footballguys view: Why not see what Mannion has to offer? QB Case Keenum is a free agent at season's end, and the team would like to see what they have in Mannion, their third-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. Mannion is big, has a strong arm and is athletic enough to evade the rush. However, his decision making and accuracy are big question marks.
