Vikings Trade for QB 'On the Table,' New NFL Rumors Reveal Amid Kyler Murray Injury
Bleacher Report • • sports
Key Points:
- The Minnesota Vikings are considering trading for a quarterback ahead of the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline, with general manager Nolan Teasley actively exploring options.
- Despite still believing in starting QB Kyler Murray, the team's performance in their upcoming Monday Night Football game against the Buffalo Bills could influence a potential quarterback move.
- Kyler Murray, currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, has a modest stat line with 5 touchdowns and 3 interceptions in six starts, while backup Carson Wentz has performed well in limited action.
- The Vikings hold a 6-1 record and boast the NFL's top-ranked defense, but their offense ranks 27th in scoring, prompting consideration of a quarterback upgrade to better utilize star receiver Justin Jefferson.
- Potential trade targets are limited, with Kirk Cousins of the Las Vegas Raiders being a rare option, though a trade involving him seems unlikely given the Raiders' playoff contention.
