Garafolo: Vikings could do last-minute QB trade
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Minnesota Vikings are considering trading for a quarterback before the NFL trade deadline due to Carson Wentz's poor performance and Kyler Murray's hamstring injury, with Kirk Cousins and Daniel Jones as potential targets.
- Wentz struggled significantly in a recent loss to the Bills, completing only 8-of-25 passes with two interceptions, and may not start again if the Vikings acquire a new QB.
- Kyler Murray is sidelined with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, likely missing multiple games, increasing the urgency for the Vikings to address their quarterback situation.
- The San Francisco 49ers acquired WR Keenan Allen from the Colts for a 2027 sixth-round pick, filling a gap left by Christian Kirk's departure and potentially impacting fantasy football dynamics.
- The Bengals' planned trade for Eagles EDGE Arnold Ebiketie fell through, while the Dolphins lost DT Zach Sieler for the season due to bicep surgery, affecting defensive strengths for both teams.
