Tanner Morgan - Vikings Back-up....

[mnsportsgeek]

The NFL did make a modification in their Emergency 3rd String QB Rule, but in order for Morgan to be in that roll he would have to be elevated from Practice Squad to the 53 Man Roster.

Which only about a third of teams do.

Which only about a third of teams do.

Which I think is crazy after what happened to the 49ers last year in the NFC Championship.

$12k per week. He's now made a minimum of $24k by just being available in town. Not bad.

I don't know what Morgan's long-term career goals are, but this has to be a pretty heady experience. Who knows where it ends up, but I don't think any of us ever envisioned Chris Streveler throwing 40 passes at the NFL level.

And by being good at that job.

I'm sure Morgan is trying to find his opportunity in the NFL, but I think realistically a QB coach at the college level is probably a pretty achievable goal for him.

If Morgan is added to active roster, he will be the first former Gopher QB to be active (as a QB) for an NFL game since Adam Weber in 2011. MarQueis Gray is the last former Gopher QB to appear in an NFL game unless you count Streveler.

Guess Vikes let go of TM an hour ago? WTF?

Does that mean Hall passed concussion protocol?

Looks like they cut him around 2:30. I wonder if that was a favor so he could travel to Purdue if he was going to be inactive anyway but still gets to cash the check.

U of M HR has to be annoyed by all this paperwork…

This thread should probably be retitled "Tanner Morgan Vikings Practice Squad Yo-Yo Thread"

 

[BilldGopher]

Gives literal meaning to "living on the bubble..."

 

[gopherdudepart2]

As long as the check cashes doubt Morgan cares about being on bubble.

This.

 

[nitramnaed]

Already gone. Released.

Tanner will be a coach in near future, maybe even for the vikes.
