By agreeing to send backup Matt Cassel to the Bills, the Vikings need a new backup to Teddy Bridgewater. To fill the job, the Vikings may be bringing back a former member of the team.
Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that the Vikings have contacted Shaun Hill’s agent during the three-day negotiating period that opened at 12:00 p.m. ET on Saturday.
Hill played for the Vikings from 2002 through 2005, appearing in one regular season game and throwing no regular-season passes. The next year, he joined the 49ers, whose offense at the time was coordinated by Vikings offensive coordinator Norv Turner. Hill made no regular-season appearances during his time with Turner.
Hill started eight games last year for the Rams, including the opener against the Vikings after Sam Bradford tore an ACL in the preseason. Hill was benched at halftime of the Week One game either because he was injured or because he was ineffective.
At the Scouting Combine, Rams coach Jeff Fisher told PFT Live that he’d like to bring Hill back for 2015 as the backup to Sam Bradford.
