If the Vikings activate Bridgewater, they would need to create room on the 53-man roster. If they seek to waive Sloter to get him onto the practice squad, there is the risk of another team claiming his nonguaranteed $1.665 million contract. If Sloter is not let go, Minnesota could have four quarterbacks on the active roster, something quite rare in the NFL.
The Vikings also have Sam Bradford, who has missed four of the past five games with a knee injury, and Case Keenum, who has replaced him as the starter. It remains to be seen if any of their quarterbacks could be candidates for injured reserve when a spot might be needed for Bridgewater.
“I’m not really too concerned day in and day out with my NFL future,’’ Sloter said of the possibility of being waived by Minnesota. “I think that I’ll have a job.”
Sloter wants to remain on the Vikings’ active roster.
“I feel like they like me here, so hopefully I’m going to be here and this is the place I’m going to be,’’ he said.
When Denver waived Sloter following the preseason, there was a bidding war to get him on a practice squad. The Vikings won it by offering $20,000 a week, nearly three times the practice-squad minimum of $7,200, and then signed him Sept. 16 to the active roster after Bradford was hurt.
Sloter is the only Minnesota quarterback under contract now for next season. Bradford, Keenum and Bridgewater are at this point bound for free agency in March.

), I believe that we will give him a contract extension prior to next season that will be commensurate with how well he performs during the rest of this season.
... and neither is this Chris guy.
