According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Minnesota Vikings aren’t expected to place the franchise tag on quarterback Case Keenum. Keenum, along with other free-agent QBs Teddy Bridgewater and Sam Bradford, could hit the open market.

That makes Minnesota’s quarterbacking needs awfully provocative this offseason.

A guess would say the Vikings work out a deal with one of these three, as our prediction doesn’t have Kirk Cousins going to Minnesota. Either way, finding some up-front protection for whoever is under center in 2018 should be another top priority.

The interior offensive line isn’t where it needs to be, and UTEP offensive lineman Will Hernandez seems to be a plausible fit here.

Hernandez’s NFL Draft stock has risen in recent months, and it wouldn’t be a shock to see him crack the tail end of Round 1.
