The Vikings could be ready to make a trade for a quarterback, if they lose Monday night
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Kyler Murray is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, giving Carson Wentz an opportunity to start against the 6-1 Buffalo Bills on Monday night.
- If Wentz performs well, he could retain the starting quarterback role through a challenging four-game stretch for the Vikings.
- A poor performance by Wentz might prompt the Vikings to pursue a quarterback trade immediately, with Colts QB Daniel Jones emerging as a strong candidate.
- Trading for Jones is considered more feasible and cost-effective than acquiring Raiders QB Kirk Cousins, who is performing well and whose team is still in playoff contention.
- The Vikings have a narrow window after Monday’s game to make a trade, and the outcome of that game will heavily influence their next moves.
