• Jaguars' Nick Mullens: Gets opportunity in Jacksonville

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  Mullens is in line to sign with the Jaguars on a two-year, $6.5 million contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Mullens, now heading into his age-30 season, looks primed to operate as the new backup to Trevor Lawrence, with Mac Jones scheduled to depart Jacksonville in free agency. Across four regular-season appearances with Minnesota in 2024, Mullens completed two of two pass attempts for 38 yards and zero touchdowns or interceptions. Back in 2023 with the Vikings, he completed 100 of 148 pass attempts for 1,306 yards, seven touchdowns and eight interceptions across five appearances.

• Vikings' Nick Mullens: Plays seven snaps in 2024

  01/30/2025 • By RotoWire

  Mullens completed two of two pass attempts for 38 yards and zero touchdowns across four games during the 2024 regular season. The veteran backup quarterback played a total of seven offensive snaps across the four contests, and he rushed three times for negative two yards on top of the limited pass attempts. Mullens turns 30 years old in March and is scheduled to be a free agent this offseason. The Vikings' quarterback picture is unclear, with both Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones also slated to be free agents. J.J. McCarthy (knee) is coming off a serious injury and missed his entire 2024 rookie campaign.

• Vikings' Nick Mullens: Tosses TD in Saturday's start

  08/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Mullens completed 11 of 21 passes for 135 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-12 preseason win over the Browns. None of the Vikings' starters were on the field Saturday, and even some key reserves like Ty Chandler sat out, but Mullens still put together a decent line while playing with backups for the entire first half. With rookie J.J. McCarthy (knee) out for the season, Mullens will provide Minnesota with an experienced backup to Sam Darnold at quarterback -- and Darnold's track record at least offers the possibility that he will play his way out of another starting job, opening the door for Mullens to take over the offense.

• Vikings' Nick Mullens: Back in starting role

  01/03/2024 • By RotoWire

  Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday that Mullens will start Sunday's season finale against the Lions. As Minnesota's quarterback carousel continues to spin, it has landed back on Mullens for the season finale. Mullens played the entire second half of the team's Week 17 loss to the Packers after the Vikings' curious decision to start rookie Jaren Hall backfired. In two previous starts this season, Mullens threw for an impressive 714 yards and four touchdowns but also had six interceptions.

• Vikings' Nick Mullens: Finishes second half of blowout

  01/01/2024 • By RotoWire

  Mullens completed 13 of 22 pass attempts for 113 yards and a touchdown with a six-yard rush in Sunday's 33-10 loss to Green Bay. Rookie Jaren Hall struggled to the tune of no touchdowns and two turnovers in his first career start, so head coach Kevin O'Connell switched back to Mullens at the beginning of the second half. The veteran signal-caller didn't give the offense a significant makeover, but he certainly produced the more fantasy-friendly half Sunday. O'Connell stated after the game that he has not committed to a starting quarterback for Minnesota's regular-season finale against Detroit, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert. The more-experienced Mullens would be the logical choice for the 8-8 Vikings, as their playoff hopes (while slim) are still alive. Mullens also represents the option with the higher fantasy upside after he threw two touchdowns and committed four turnovers in a narrow loss to Detroit when the two teams met in Week 16.
