New Vikings Trade Rumors on Kirk Cousins, Derek Carr Links amid QB Search at NFL Deadline

After a disastrous outing for Carson Wentz on Monday Night Football, the Minnesota Vikings' search for help at quarterback could be centered around a reunion with Kirk Cousins.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Cousins has been identified as a "prime trade candidate" for Minnesota ahead of Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET trade deadline.

This comes on the heels of Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio reporting the Vikings have not had any conversations with the New Orleans Saints about a potential deal for Derek Carr, who remains on the reserve/retired list.

This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis.
