Mark Sanchez has a huge cap number ($13.1 million) and the Jets get massive relief if they cut him ($8.3 million), so the theory is that he will be available this offseason. The Vikings are a team presumably in need of a quarterback.

As such, connect the dots and feel free to be scared, even if this is PROBABLY NOT Mike Zimmer talking to the New York Post:

One coach of a quarterback-needy team said his team already has discussed Sanchez internally as an option to be its starting quarterback in 2014.

"We'd take Sanchez," the coach said. "He'd be the starter as soon as he walked in the door for us."
