Kirk Cousins is only under contract for one more season, and the team might trade for a young quarterback sometime between now and November 2nd.
That’s the working theory from SI.com this week, floated by NFL writer Conor Orr.
Vikings Predicted to Trade for Young QB
Minnesota also has veteran Nick Mullens and rookie Jaren Hall on the roster, but it is unclear if either man will assume QB1 duties if Cousins indeed departs in free agency next March.
Orr had a few examples in mind for the Vikings grand quarterback plan, including Zach Wilson of the New York Jets, Mac Jones of the New England Patriots, or San Francisco 49ers signal-caller Trey Lance.
