Not bad for a couple weeks work Charlie. This does give me pause thinking about what this may mean if\when Griffin is healed up enough to play. I've already seen enough of Griffin- have to wonder if the FO has too.
We're not going to keep 4 qbs on the active roster. Griffin comes back, we'd almost have to waive Hogan and take the chance another team won't pick him up.

Ya, this smells like Grif isn't coming back.
I'm Ok with rolling with Kessler and Josh with Hogan's Heroes as the emergency.

BTW, and this has probably been discussed elsewhere but I haven't been around - the vikings now seem to have two legitimate starting QBs in Bridgewater and Bradford. Obviously Bradford is older by about 5 years, but he's only 28, he could be around for another 10 years or so if the vikes want him.
So, the question is, if one is on the trading block (as is likely), would you want either, and if so, for how much? Teddy's under contract for one more year, but with an option to pick up the fifth year of the rookie contract (I believe), and Bradford has one more year at a pretty high rate.

It had not been brought up that I know of... and... no...
The QB trade rumor NFL Live tried to crank up yesterday was Chicago trading Jay Cutler to us. Cutler is fucking kryptonite... fool's gold... today's version of Jeff George... a tool with all the tools. This idea makes your musing seem attractive by contrast.

I'm thinking less about Bradford, and more about Teddy tbh. It seems like they have it really going on with Bradford, and might decide to just roll with him.

Of the two, I'd prefer Bradford, but I also have the feeling that so will the Vikes.
We also have to remember that Teddy's not a lock to be ready to go at the start of next year.

In any case it's not a decision they have to make quickly...
Teddy's rookie deal runs through 2017 with a 5th year option in 2018. So he's cheap to keep.
And Bradford is there through 2017, if they so desire. However he has $13mm that comes due on June 1, 2017. Depending on how far he takes them, that could look cheap as well.
Does not look like a big FA pinch is coming. Matt Khalil is the biggest UFA name I see.

AP is the player I'd look for them to shuck, if he won't redo his deal. He's due $18mm next year... and none of it is dead money.

They can at least keep Griffin on IR for the year, and bring him back next year....if they want to continue the experiment. (or if McC should retire...though I don't know why he would, unless the injuries take their toll on him)

Pathetic! McCown is never going to stay healthy! I'd rather see who's better Kessler or Hogan. For God's sake! We need to establish a QB for the future. It could be Hogan! He's bigger, mobile, strong arm and was ranked 9 spots ahead of Kessler in the draft. Kessler wasn't even projected to be drafted! Play Hogan!

I'm not expecting much out of Hogan. I mean, the team signed Clipboard Jesus instead of promoting Hogan to the active roster.
