This felt inevitable, but seeing NFL insider Ian Rapoport post about it makes it real.
The Minnesota Vikings are reportedly actively looking for a quarterback before the 2026 NFL Trade Deadline comes at 3 p.m. CT:
Developing: The Vikings have begun making calls around the league about trading for a quarterback ahead of today’s 4 pm ET deadline, per Adam Schefter and me.[image or embed]
— Ian Rapoport (@rapsheet.bsky.social) November 10, 2026 at 10:14 AMRapoport’s image usage here gets plus-10 points from me. I could not have picked a better one if I tried. That image above with a helpless-looking Justin Jefferson watching opposing defenders celebrate perfectly captures the vibe of the Minnesota Vikings offense.
2026 NFL TRADE DEADLINE TRACKER
Kyler Murray is injured, dealing with a hamstring injury. But it’s not like he looked good when he was healthy. Carson Wentz stinks and is coming off one of the worst quarterbacked games I’ve ever seen. And when you’ve been watching and covering the Bears for as long as I have, then you know as well as I do what it looks like when woeful quarterback play is happening in front of your very eyes.
Vikings Are Hunting For QB Help at the 2026 NFL Trade Deadline
Sep 24, 2023; Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA; Viktor, the Minnesota Vikings mascot entertains fans before the game against the Los Angeles Chargers at U.S. Bank Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jeffrey Becker-USA TODAY SportsCarson Wentz completed 8 of 25 passes for 81 yards against the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football. He posted an 8.9 passer rating and 2.3 QBR. It was a historically bad effort. That Max Brosmer came in to complete 6 of 7 passes for 58 yards and a 101.2 passer rating in garbage time puts into perspective how awful Wentz played.
So it makes sense that, after another woeful offensive performance, the Vikings are making last-ditch efforts to get a quarterback ahead of the 2026 NFL Trade Deadline. But who is even going to be available? Over the weekend, we discussed the possibility of Minnesota trying to do some 2-for-1 shopping with an Indianapolis Colts team that could shop quarterback Daniel Jones and running back Jonathan Taylor. But I’m not sure how active those conversations are after it was reported that Jones might not be on the block after all.
The only quarterback on The Athletic’s Top 50 NFL Trade Deadline Big Board is Mac Jones of the San Francisco 49ers. A first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Jones was a Pro Bowler as a rookie for the New England Patriots before fizzling out. Jones has found a niche as a backup in San Francisco and played well when Brock Purdy was hurt last year. The Vikings did well snagging Sam Darnold from the Niners a few years ago. I’d imagine they’d like to see lightning strike twice here. But I’m openly rooting for chaos and whatever the worst-case scenario for Minnesota’s quarterbacks room happens to be.
