EAGAN, Minn. -- Kirk Cousins provided a very Kirk Cousins-like response when asked about intensifying public discussion of the possibility that the Minnesota Vikings could try to deal him elsewhere before the NFL's trade deadline on Oct. 31.
"You know, I am just very focused on the Bears and going 1-0 this week," Cousins said Wednesday. "And anything else is not worth my time or energy or attention."
Asked for the first time if there was any scenario in which he would consider waiving the no-trade clause in his contract, Cousins declined to address the premise.
