more qb news:

• The Minnesota Vikings retained their offensive system from last season, and for QB Kirk Cousins, that is a very good thing. "Having somebody in my helmet for the second year in a row, I'm really encouraged by because there had always been that change. And while the system was many times staying similar, a different voice in front of the room, a different voice in your helmet, certainly there's still changes there. I think that's a positive too, to build that rapport with Kevin [O'Connell]."
  

• San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy is still recovering from elbow surgery and should be able to start throwing in a few weeks. "I just got a report from the trainers," GM John Lynch said. "So week 12, that's where he can actually go out, start lobbing a football. And according to the surgeon, you start getting a little better read on exactly where he's at right about then." Purdy is not expected to be ready to go in time for training camp this summer, but the team hopes he's able to play come September.
  

• The New England Patriots signed TE Mike Gesicki this offseason with the hopes of him vibing with QB Mac Jones. Gesicki says he's excited to work with Jones this year, and complimented his work ethic and personality.
