EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings brought back veteran Matt Cassel back to be the bridge to their future quarterback. The blueprint was produced on draft day when they traded into the end of the first round to take Teddy Bridgewater.

Going into last night's NFL Draft, Teddy Bridgewater was one of the top quarterback prospects. Before he hears his name called by the Minnesota Vikings as pick #32 last night, the former Louisville star had a surprise for his mom.

As Rick Spielman has done in previous drafts, the Vikings traded with the Seattle Seahwaks to get pick number 32, the final pick of the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft. With that pick, they addressed their need at quarterback.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Packers have reached a deal to bring back backup quarterback Matt Flynn, who stabilized the position after starter Aaron Rodgers went down with a collarbone injury last season.

A source tells KSTP that Minnesota Vikings quarterback Matt Cassel has decided to void his contract for the upcoming NFL season, flexing an option that was written into the deal that he signed when joining the Vikings before the 2013 season.

In his Wednesday press conference, Coach Frazier announced Christian Ponder will get the start against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field this weekend.
