After a dismal offensive showing in a lopsided loss to the Buffalo Bills on Monday night, the Minnesota Vikings appear to be in the market for a quarterback. With the NFL trade deadline approaching, it now sounds like the Vikings may be interested in reuniting with longtime quarterback Kirk Cousins.
This morning, Ian Rapoport reported that the Vikings were calling teams looking for a quarterback. Now, his ESPN colleague Adam Schefter has reported they’ve “identified” Kirk Cousins as a potential trade target.

Minnesota’s loss to the Bills on Monday dropped them to 6-2, and after back-to-back losses, they’ve suddenly relinquished control of the NFC North to the Chicago Bears.
Veteran Carson Wentz was awful against Buffalo, completing eight passes for 81 yards and two interceptions. Kyler Murray, whom Minnesota brought in during the offseason to compete for the starting job, is dealing with a hamstring injury. This is the second time this season Murray has missed time with an injury, and even when he’s been healthy, he’s been underwhelming leading the Vikings offense.
This season, Murray is completing 64.9 percent of his passes for 1,022 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions.
Nov 1, 2026; East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA; Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins (8) looks to pass against the New York Jets during the fourth quarter at MetLife Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn ImagesCousins, who played for Minnesota from 2018-23, is in Vegas right now and has been playing pretty well. He’s thrown for 2,340 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions in nine games with the Raiders. After helping Vegas open the season 3-0, the Raiders have lost four of their last five games.
Vegas has first-rounder Fernando Mendoza waiting in the wings behind Cousins, so if they traded Cousins to Minnesota, they could start Mendoza, while adding additional draft capital to help build around their hopeful quarterback of the future.
The Vikings are desperate for an answer at quaterback, with the proposition of a promising season slipping away without an upgrade under center, so Vegas, or another team in the mix, could demand a reasonably high return from Minnesota in a deal for a quarterback.
