Vikings Trade Proposal Aims to Land Award-Winning QB of the Future
The clock is ticking on the Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback situation, with or without Kirk Cousins. But there may not be a better opportunity to plan for life without the four-time Pro Bowler than this year, though they might need to trade for one.
With at least six quarterbacks potentially going in the first two rounds, they might need to be aggressive to land on for themselves.
A new hypothetical trade scenario from Bleacher Report would see them do just that.
Cousins is still a quality quarterback, but he’ll turn 36 in August and is set to be the most coveted signal-caller in free agency. Keeping him won’t be cheap, and with [Justin] Jefferson’s extension looming, it may finally be time for Minnesota to move on,” wrote Bleacher Report’s scouting department on January 29.
“This hypothetical trade would allow the Vikings to do that by moving up a few spots and securing LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels. While Daniels is only the 24th-ranked prospect on the B/R board, the Vikings may have to move up from No. 11 to land him.”
Vikings get:
– 2024 first-round pick (No. 7 overall)
