  Vikings | Nick Mullens flirts with 400 yards    Sun Jan 7, 04:16 PM

Minnesota Vikings QB Nick Mullens completed 30-of-44 passes for 396 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Week 18 against the Detroit Lions, while running twice for eight yards.

Footballguys view: Mullens isn't a long term answer for the Vikings, but fantasy players will be hoping that he's the opening day starter if the team doesn't bring back Kirk Cousins or otherwise make a significant investment at quarterback. His freewheeling downfield passing mentality has made for some big games late in the season.

  Vikings | Joshua Dobbs to serve as backup    Sat Jan 6, 08:29 AM

Minnesota Vikings QB Joshua Dobbs will serve as the backup to QB Nick Mullens for Week 18's game versus the Detroit Lions, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.

Footballguys view: Dobbs was a great story earlier this year, but things fell apart for him as the starter in Minnesota. In the season finale, Dobbs will likely hold a clipboard and not see the field. This offseason, we'll see if another team wants to give him a chance to compete as a backup. He's a UFA in 2024.

  Vikings | Nick Mullens to start    Wed Jan 3, 03:02 PM

Minnesota Vikings QB Nick Mullens will start in Week 18, head coach Kevin O'Connell said on Wednesday, Jan. 3.

Footballguys view: The Vikings have made their decision, and it's not great. They don't have great options at the quarterback position, but they feel Mullens gives them the best chance to win in Week 18. They travel to play the Lions on Sunday, and they'll have to win and get a lot of help if they want to make the postseason.

  Vikings | Coach not ready to name QB for Week 18    Tue Jan 2, 10:32 AM

Minnesota Vikings QB Jaren Hall and QB Nick Mullens both received playing time during the Week 17 game, but head coach Kevin O'Connell said he is not ready to name the starter for Week 18 even though he has made a decision on who will start.

Footballguys view: Vikings QB Jaren Hall was benched at halftime in Week 17 against the Packers. Nick Mullens replaced him and completed 13-of-22 passes for 113 yards and one touchdown. Neither are great options for the Vikings in the season finale.

  Vikings | Two Vikings QBs split reps    Wed Dec 27, 03:10 PM

Minnesota Vikings QBs Nick Mullens and Jaren Hall split reps during the open portion of practice on Wednesday, Dec. 27.

Footballguys view: The rumors are that Hall is going to start this week after Mullen had a four-interception game in Week 16. Mullens was a turnover machine against the Lions, so they might go back to the rookie Hall. There are also rumblings that Josh Dobbs is a possibility for the team as well.

  Vikings | Nick Mullens throws two TDs, four INTs    Sun Dec 24, 05:37 PM

Minnesota Vikings QB Nick Mullens went 22-for-36 for 411 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions against the Detroit Lions in Week 16.

Footballguys view: Mullens made bad enough decisions in the first half to get benched, but he also was bold throwing downfield to Justin Jefferson, which kept the Vikings in the game, and almost got them the win late. Mullens is a solid QB2/Superflex against the Packers next week despite losing Jordan Addison and TJ Hockenson today.

  Vikings | Nick Mullens surpasses 300- yard mark    Sat Dec 16, 04:34 PM

Minnesota Vikings QB Nick Mullens went 26-for-33 for 303 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15. He also rushed for 10 yards on six carries during the game.

Footballguys view: Mullens had some ducks, and he threw an interception while falling on his back (always a bad idea), but for the most part, he was solid as the starter. He did not hesitate to find guys like WR Justin Jefferson or WR Jordan Addison regardless of the coverage.

  Vikings | Minnesota undecided on starting QB for Week 15    Mon Dec 11, 02:02 AM

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell declined to name a starting quarterback for the team's upcoming game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday, Dec. 16. QB Joshua Dobbs started in Week 15 but failed to generate any points and was benched for QB Nick Mullens, who led the team to a game-winning field goal.

  Vikings | Joshua Dobbs benched in fourth quarter    Sun Dec 10, 06:40 PM

Minnesota Vikings QB Joshua Dobbs completed 10-of-23 passes for 63 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 14 against the Las Vegas Raiders before getting benched in the fourth quarter. He also ran five times for 21 yards before giving way to backup QB Nick Mullens.

Footballguys view: One of most fun stories of 2023 is over... for now. Dobbs was the ultimate boom/bust play as we knew he was closed to being benched during the bye. It appears defenses have figured him out and Justin Jefferson going out early didn't help. Mullens will probably start at Cincinnati next week.

  Vikings | HC considered benching Joshua Dobbs    Tue Nov 28, 09:19 AM

Minnesota Vikings QB Joshua Dobbs tossed four interceptions in Week 12 against the Chicago Bears, and head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday, Nov. 27, that he considered replacing Dobbs with QB Nick Mullens before the team's lone touchdown drive. 'It started to get to the point where I was thinking about what would give us a spark,' O'Connell said. He added that the team will 'take a look at everything' in regards to quarterback after the team's bye.

Footballguys view: The Vikings have now lost two games in a row. They're still in the playoff chase, but they need to get things right after their Week 13 bye. Dobbs will be their starter in Week 14 as they travel to play the Raiders, but he cannot afford to have another game like the one he had on Monday night.

  Vikings | Nick Mullens could return in Week 11    Sat Nov 18, 10:01 AM

Minnesota Vikings QB Nick Mullens (back) has a good chance to serve as the backup quarterback for the Week 11 game, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.

Footballguys view: Josh Dobbs is the starter against the Broncos, and the Vikings want to keep their 5-game win streak going. If Dobbs is banged up, it sounds like Mullens would be the next man up.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Nick Mullens was traded to the Minnesota Vikings Monday, Aug. 22, in exchange for a conditional seventh-round pick in 2024. Mullens must be active for one game in 2022 for the pick to be sent.

Footballguys view: Mullens was working as the Raiders' no.3 quarterback behind starter Derek Carr and primary backup Jarrett Stidham. The Raiders get a pick (potentially) for a player who wasn't going to make the team.

  Eagles | Gardner Minshew acquired by Eagles    Sat Aug 28, 10:17 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Gardner Minshew was acquired by the Philadelphia Eagles Saturday, Aug. 28, for a conditional sixth-round draft pick. QB Nick Mullens was released.

Footballguys view: It's a good place for Minshew to go with QB Jalen Hurts as the starter. Clearly, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni wants more from his quarterback position. Hurts and Joe Flacco competed for the starting job in camp, and now Minshew will get his chance to impress - even though the preseason is done. We'll see how this messy quarterback situation plays out. The pick traded to the Jaguars can become a fifth-round pick if Minshew plays 50 percent of the snaps in three games. There's a good chance Minshew could do that and perhaps more.

  Jets | NYJ had interest in Nick Mullens    Wed Jun 16, 06:46 PM

Philadelphia Eagles QB Nick Mullens received some interest from the New York Jets before he signed with the Eagles, but Jets head coach Robert Saleh said the team will move forward with their current quarterbacks for the time being.

Footballguys view: The Jets interest makes sense. Most of the staff comes over from the 49ers, including OC Mike LaFleur, and Mullens is familiar with the system. Instead, the Jets move forward with Zach Wilson was their starter with James Morgan and Mike White competing for the backup job.

  Eagles | Nick Mullens joining Eagles    Mon Jun 14, 02:12 PM

Free-agent QB Nick Mullens (49ers) agreed to terms with the Philadelphia Eagles Monday, June 14. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Mullens got his chance to start with the 49ers last year and was inconsistent as the day is long. Now, he's trying to earn a spot on the Eagles roster behind starter Jalen Hurts and veteran backup Joe Flacco. He's a camp arm right now and if he makes the 53-man roster it will be to hold a clipboard as a no.3 quarterback.
