Rumors of a potential trade involving Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins heading to the San Francisco 49ers persisted at the NFL Scouting Combine in February, per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.
"Cousins has been linked to San Francisco from the moment Kyle Shanahan became the head coach," Florio wrote.
"Kyle served as offensive coordinator in Washington when Kyle and his father, Mike, drafted Cousins in 2012. And Kyle has admitted that he planned to sign Cousins in 2018, with the 2017 trade for Jimmy Garoppolo derailing that intention."
The Vikings ended up restructuring Cousins' contract to free up $16 million in cap space.
