Source: Vikings will trade for a quarterback today
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Minnesota Vikings are expected to trade for a quarterback before Tuesday’s 4:00 p.m. ET deadline to address their ongoing struggles since Kirk Cousins and Sam Darnold’s departures.
- Potential trade targets include Daniel Jones, Geno Smith, Mac Jones, Kirk Cousins, Marcus Mariota, Jameis Winston, and possibly surprise candidates like Justin Herbert, Matthew Stafford, or Sam Darnold.
- The Vikings’ decision will likely come at a high cost, especially after Carson Wentz’s poor performance increased competition for available quarterbacks.
- The urgency to secure a reliable quarterback is driven by the risk of the team’s record falling from 6-2 to 6-11, which could lead to a coaching change in 2027.
