Notes
Minnesota Vikings WR Joe Webb said he is fine with moving from quarterback to wide receiver but expects it to take some times to get comfortable at the position. 'I'm doing real good. I still have a long ways to go, but I'm getting better every day and that's all you can do. I just take it one step at a time, one day at a time, one play at a time, and hopefully it can turn out as a success,' Webb said.

Minnesota Vikings QB Joe Webb said the team has not told him what position he will play during offseason workouts but will be willing to move to wide receiver if asked. 'Yeah, I'm comfortable,' Webb said. 'Whatever it is to help the team. I'm a team player. So, as long as I get on the field. I'm excited to get on the field this year. Hopefully, we can make that happen. But in the meantime, whatever they ask me to do, I'm going to do it.'

Minnesota Vikings QB Joe Webb has been catching passes in anticipation for the team to ask him to switch to wide receiver. 'They're still figuring it out,' Webb said. 'But it looks like, if I am going to receiver, I'm doing a lot more work at it so I can work on my craft at receiver since I haven't been there since, what, 2010 when I first got drafted?'

Minnesota Vikings QB Joe Webb was limited to just three snaps in mop-up duty during the regular season, and he started the Wild Card game loss against the Green Bay Packers. He is expected to have competition for the No. 2 job as he enters a contract year, and he could be shopped to a team committed to exploring zone-read possibilities.

Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman said he likes QB Joe Webb and will not judge him solely on his performance in the team's Wild Card playoff game. 'Joe has been a very good backup quarterback,' Spielman said. 'I'm sure, as everybody has seen, that he probably didn't play the way he wanted to play up in Green Bay. But if you look into his history, that's what you have to do, the things he did when he came into the Washington game a year ago, what he did in Detroit the game [QB Christian Ponder] got hurt, what he did in Philadelphia when we got stuck two years ago.'

Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier said QB Christian Ponder is the team's starting quarterback moving forward; however, backup QB Joe Webb will have to compete for the No. 2 job. '(Webb will) be a guy that will compete for the No. 2 spot again next year, barring something that we may end up doing in our personnel meetings,' Frazier said. 'But we'll discuss Joe's position and everyone's position in our personnel meetings and then we'll make a decision what's best.'
