EAGAN, Minn. - - The Minnesota Vikings obtained quarterback Nick Mullens from the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday for a restrictive 2024 draft pick, giving them an extra choice behind starter Kirk Cousins in the midst of a lopsided summer for his occupant reinforcements.

Mullens will be able to unseat Sean Mannion and Kellen Mond, who have been seeking the work. Neither has hung out in instructional course or in two preseason games, where the two have divided reps equally. Mentor Kevin O'Connell declined to underwrite both of them after the Saturday night 17-7 misfortune to the San Francisco 49ers, during which they consolidated to finish 20 of 35 passes for 147 yards, with Mond tossing two interferences.

"The opposition will go down to the end here," O'Connell said Monday. "That doesn't imply that it in every case simply remains something very similar. At times we might want to add a player at relation, not simply quarterback, just to attempt to boost what we will be this year as a football crew. I feel quite a bit better pretty much that large number of folks there.

"There's certain plays we would have surely preferred to have back from Saturday however there were still a ton of up-sides emerging from the game for both Sean and Kellen. I've requested that those folks keep on advancing on where they are inside the hostile framework in the opposition. We'll have the option to figure that thing out when everything looks good."

Mullens began 16 games for the San Francisco 49ers from 2018 through 2020, playing in an offense like the one O'Connell is introducing with the Vikings. He added one beginning last season for the Cleveland Browns, however he was behind Derek Carr and Jarrett Stidham on the Raiders' profundity graph this late spring.

The Vikings upgraded their football tasks this offseason, yet new head supervisor Kwesi Adofo-Mensah chose to bring back every one of the three of their 2021 quarterbacks for instructional course. Cousins marked an agreement expansion, and Mannion marked a one-year bargain. Mond was a third-round pick in the 2021 draft and has not looked prepared to take over as a No. 2 quarterback this mid year.

"Eventually you would have wanted to emerge from the late evening feeling like, shoot, the two of them moved the group and scored a ton of focuses and we have an amazing hard conversation and discussion ahead as a staff and as an association," O'Connell said Saturday night. "Despite the fact that we didn't do that, I actually think there were a few genuine workable minutes and afterward a few genuine minutes where we'll have the option to assess and sort of truly view at where we are at that situation as we sort of restack all that to go into this week to perceive how we want to permit those folks to contend.

"Since as we've discussed, to me the clock is going. Despite the fact that I feel like our starters are in an extraordinary spot for Sept. 11, and that is where our accentuation is truly on, there's a ton of occupations that we need to in any case permit to play themselves out so we feel quite a bit better about the general profundity of our group, and we'll positively permit that by and by this week."
