The Las Vegas Raiders traded quarterback Nick Mullens to the Minnesota Vikings on Monday for a conditional seventh-round draft pick in 2024.
The draft pick comes to fruition if he is active for at least one game with the Vikings, per multiple reports.
Mullens, 27, signed with the Raiders in April and had been competing with Jarrett Stidham for the backup job behind starter Derek Carr.
Mullens is 5-12 as an NFL starter, completing 64.6 percent of his passes for 4,861 yards, 26 touchdowns and 22 interceptions with the San Francisco 49ers (2018-20) and Cleveland Browns.
In Minnesota, Mullens faces a battle with Sean Mannion and Kellen Mond for the chance to back up veteran Kirk Cousins.
The Raiders also placed defensive end Jordan Jenkins on injured reserve and signed linebacker Tae Davis.
Jenkins signed with the Raiders last week after being cut by the Houston Texans. In his debut in a Raiders uniform Saturday, he came away with a knee injury during the team’s preseason game against the Miami Dolphins.
Jenkins has 25 career sacks, 22.5 coming as a five-year starter for the New York Jets (2016-20) before joining Houston for one year.
Davis last played in 2020, when he appeared in 13 games for the Cleveland Browns and made seven tackles and one pass breakup.
