Vikings On Top Of Cousins' Wish List
Paul Allen of KFAN Minneapolis reports the Minnesota Vikings are "number one with a bullet" on Cousins' wish list. On Tuesday the Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Redskins reached an agreement for a trade involving Chiefs QB Alex Smith. This trade will likely be the end of Cousin's time in Washington, thus making him the most valuable player on the free agent market.
Minnesota would be an ideal landing spot for Cousins since he wants to "win right away." However, several other teams will be in the mix as well.
The NFC runners-up have a dynamic offense with talented players like Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen, Dalvin Cook and Kyle Rudolph. The Vikings also have three quarterbacks - Sam Bradford, Teddy Bridgewater, and Case Keenum - all headed to free agency. A talented roster with three possibly zero quarterbacks entering 2018 seems like a great fit for Cousins.
