To this end, Minnesota isn't just a potential landing spot; it's an incredible landing spot for Stafford. With the Vikings he would be reunited with Kevin O'Connell, who served as his offensive coordinator on the 2021 Super Bowl team. Stafford would be able to walk in immediately and stretch the field. With the threat of explosive throws looming, teams could no longer stack the box to stop the run game. Just getting one guy who can accurately throw downfield would be so transformative to the offense that when paired with an already stellar defense, well, the Vikings could become the favorite in the NFC overnight.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Stafford to Vikings would make them NFC favorites overnight.

Stafford, the reigning MVP, would be transformative for the Vikings if acquired; reunited with offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell (his 2021 Super Bowl coordinator) and running the same Sean McVay West Coast offense system, Stafford could immediately stretch the field and exploit the Vikings' elite receiving duo of Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, turning Minnesota into an NFC favorite overnight despite currently languishing near the bottom of the league in yards-per-reception and 20+ yard passes.
