Minnesota Vikings quarterback Case Keenum isn't expected to receive the franchise tag, reports Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
This would make Keenum a free agent next month and also means the Vikings are likely going to be in the market for a starting quarterback. In related news, NFL.com's Gil Brandt reported Monday morning that Minnesota and free agent Kirk Cousins share mutual interest. It's also possible that Keenum winds up re-signing with the Vikings on a long-term deal after testing the open market.
Keenum averaged 16.0 FanDuel points in 15 games (14 starts) for the Vikings last season, with 3,547 passing yards, 22 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions. He also rushed for 160 yards and added a score on the ground.
