ATL_Predator+ 1,196 Posted February 13, 2014 ESPN Vikings blogger mentions Ryan Mallett as an intriguing trade target for Minnesota. Matt Cassel opted out of his contract, leaving Christian Ponder as the only quarterback on the Vikings roster. Minnesota also holds the No. 8 pick in the draft, which may be too low to draft any of the top quarterbacks. Free agency doesn't offer anything more than veteran stopgaps. Enter Mallett. Mallett and Adrian Peterson reportedly have a "friendly relationship," and GM Rick Spielman has done deals with the Patriots in the past. Spielman chose Ponder with the 12th pick in the 2011 draft. Mallett went to the Patriots at No. 74 overall. Related: Vikings Source: ESPN.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
