Vikings target Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins in trade talks
According to ESPN, the Minnesota Vikings reportedly pursued a trade for Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins on 10 November, aiming to address the quarterback shortage as the trade deadline approached. NBC Sports reported on 2 November that the Vikings were considering starting Carson Wentz over Kyler Murray because of the hamstring issue.
Bleacher Report said general manager Nolan Teasley was exploring trade options for a quarterback before the 10 November deadline. ESPN later noted that the Vikings contacted other teams about acquiring a quarterback after a loss to the Buffalo Bills.
