Source: Vikings Will Trade for a Quarterback Today
With the NFL trade deadline arriving at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, the Minnesota Vikings have less than 17 hours to address a quarterback situation threatening their Super Bowl aspirations.
Monday's 23-6 loss to the Buffalo Bills exposed offensive limitations as Kyler Murray remains week-to-week with a hamstring strain and Carson Wentz completed just 8 of 25 passes for 81 yards.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Monday that Minnesota is "definitely gonna explore their options," specifically targeting Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones and Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins.
The Colts have indicated no intention of trading Jones, according to The Ringer's Tom Pelissero, while the Raiders similarly show no willingness to deal Cousins.
While Minnesota boasts a championship-caliber defense, the offense continues to falter, with perennial Pro Bowler Justin Jefferson averaging fewer than 60 receiving yards per game in 2026.
