Vikings sign Brett Rypien, waive fellow QB Jaren Hall

Brett Rypien

The Minnesota Vikings signed Brett Rypien and waived fellow quarterback Jaren Hall on Thursday.

Rypien will be the third-string quarterback for the Vikings, behind Sam Darnold and Nick Mullens.

Rypien, 28, had signed a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears on March 13 before being released Wednesday.

Rypien has made four NFL starts since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2019 with the Denver Broncos. He has passed for 950 yards, four touchdowns and nine interceptions in 10 games.

Last season, Rypien started for the Rams in a 20-3 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 9. He was 13 of 28 for 130 yards and one interception and was released two days later.

He had brief stints with the Seattle Seahawks and New York Jets later in the season.

Rypien played college football at Boise State and holds the Mountain West career passing yardage record of 13,578. He is the nephew of Mark Rypien, who played 11 NFL seasons (1988-97, 2001) for five teams and was MVP of Super Bowl XXVI for Washington.

Hall, 26, completed 13 of 20 passes for 168 yards and an interception in three games (two starts) last season. He was selected by Minnesota in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of BYU.

The Vikings lost rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy, their 2024 first-round draft pick (10th overall), to a season-ending knee injury in the preseason.
