Then, the Vikings season went pear-shaped.
Only 2 Teams Would REALISTICALLY Trade for Kirk Cousins
Minnesota lives in the NFC’s basement at 0-3, hoping to resurrect its season but with unclear expectations as to whether that’s even possible.
The Jets, too, are struggling, so by the time the Vikings, in theory, would be ready to trade Cousins, New York’s season could be in the tank at 1-5 or so, nullifying the need for Cousins because New York’s season would already be dead in the water.
