In all likelihood, Kirk Cousins will be the Minnesota Vikings starting quarterback this autumn. The former Washington Football Teamer hitched his talents to the Vikings three years ago and has since accounted for 91 touchdown passes in 47 games – fifth-most during the timefame. But that may not be good enough for a franchise that is repeatedly starved for quarterback consistency. It is a strange situation.
Cousins is the subject of trade rumors after a couple of NFL analysts loudly whispered that the San Francisco 49ers wanted the 32-year-old Vikings signal-caller. Because of money matters, San Francisco’s quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo, would likely necessitate involvement in the transaction – if it transpires at all.
