Quarterback trade rumors give Vikings bleak outlook for impact deadline deal
If the Vikings are indeed looking for a quarterback trade, it doesn't appear they'll have many options.
The Minnesota Vikings are reportedly considering a quarterback trade before the NFL trade deadline on November 10, but uncertain prospects loom. Quarterback Kyler Murray's struggles this season and his recent injury have led the Vikings to explore moving him. ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL insider Tom Pelissero have confirmed that interested parties have been offered hard nos, indicating reluctance to trade Murray.
Several potential candidates have been discussed, including Justin Herbert, Daniel Jones, Mac Jones, and Kirk Cousins. However, the likelihood of acquiring these players appears slim. The Indianapolis Colts have explicitly stated they are not trading Daniel Jones, despite trade rumors. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Chargers have signaled their unwillingness to trade Justin Herbert, along with defensive end Khalil Mack.
The Raiders have publicly expressed skepticism about trading Kirk Cousins, a player seen as a mentor for their No. 1 pick. The 49ers, too, have indicated reluctance to move backup quarterback Mac Jones for anything short of a substantial offer. Overall, the Vikings face a challenging task in finding a suitable replacement for Murray ahead of the trade deadline.
