Windy City Gridiron on Kyler Murray

Murray's extension potential hinges on justifying Vikings' veteran QB bet.

The Vikings signed Kyler Murray and handed him the Week 1 job in Year 3 for J.J. McCarthy, signaling the McCarthy era appears to be over; Minnesota is banking on Murray becoming the next in a long line of successful veteran projects for Kevin O'Connell, with the hope that he can show enough to justify an extension and give the Vikings a Top 15-level quarterback to compete in the tightly contested NFC North.
