Brett Handley will not become QB2 or QB3 for the Minnesota Vikings.

The Vikings did Handley two weeks ago, but the former Green Bay Packer left Egan without a contract. Although he agreed to a deal with the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, he did not stay unemployed for long.

In 2021, Handley was a backup quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts, located behind then-starter Carson Wentz. The Colts dismissed all signs of QB continuity this offseason, sending Wentz to the Washington commanders and acquiring Matt Ryan through a trade from the Atlanta Falcons.

Hundley then hit the free agency.

With Baltimore, Handley will fight for a QB2 or QB3 job. Lamar Jackson, who faced a low year in 2021, is QB1. Handley will fight Tyler Huntley (fortunately, Ravens journalists are verbally differentiating Handley And Huntley) And rookie Anthony Brown for a spot on the Ravens 53-man roster.

Hundley was selected in the 5th round of the 2015 NFL Draft – the pick after the Vikings drafted Stephen Diggs. He began his career with the Green Bay Packers, initially Aaron Rogers from QB2. After the 2017 season, Handley became a traveler, landing with the Seattle Seahawks in 2018, the Arizona Cardinals in 2019 and 2020, and the Colts last season.

In seven seasons, Handley has played 18 games, nine of which have started – all in Green Bay 2017 when Aaron Rogers was injured. Green Bay was 3-6 (.333) led by Handley. Handley owns a 9-TD to 13-INT split in his career.

The Vikings have passed Handley because the franchise is clearly satisfied with its QB fours Kirk Cousins, Kellen Mond, Shawn Manion and Nate Stanley. Cousins ​​are guaranteed QB1 in 2022, but Mond and Mannion will be dual for QB jobs this summer.

From Aaron Rogers, Russell Wilson, Kyler Murray – Handley has a history of backing up some of the NFL’s top quarterbacks. [now] Lamar Jackson.
