Vikings signing Sean Mannion to back up Kirk Cousins | NFL.com
Sean Mannion has landed in Minneapolis.

The former Los Angeles Rams backup quarterback is signing with the Minnesota Vikings in the same capacity, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported Sunday, per a source.

An unrestricted free agent after four seasons with the Rams, Mannion was replaced in L.A. by Blake Bortles and sought work elsewhere.

Minnesota needed to find another backup QB for Kirk Cousins after letting Trevor Siemian go in free agency where he landed with the New York Jets. The Vikes have found their man in the 26-year-old Mannion. Kyle Sloter is also on Minnesota's roster.

In four seasons with the Rams, Mannion played in 10 games but started just one, their season-ending loss to the San Francisco 49ers in 2017. He has completed 33 of 53 attempts for 258 yards, no touchdowns and one interception over the course of his career.

Good. Insurance for the Rams to protect those 4ths for Joyner and Saffold, and hopefully Suh. Unlikely to actually net the Rams a 7th, but should qualify officially, even if not one of the top 32 comp picks.

Good to see him get a gig. Best of luck to Sean & family.

Best to you Sean.

He seems to join a long line of ex-Ram quarterbacks that have joined the lesser ...ahem...endowed horns.

Bortles for Mannion might prove to be the most important move of the off season.

Good for Mannion to get another backup gig.

Best gig in football. Stays healthy, makes a large amount of money by ordinary person standards, and since he's a hard worker who doesn't rock the boat, might do it for another decade.

Smart move by the Vikings. Cousins and Mannion can talk McVay playbook and integrate stuff that works

I'm not sure, but I'm glad he's gone...kinda gave me the creeps...

Agreed. It provides more comfort going into the 2019 season. And all for $1M.

Happy trails Sean. You will hopefully get a chance to show what you have in Minnesota. Go Beavs!
