New Justin Herbert Trade Rumors on Vikings Links Surface After Kirk Cousins Deal at NFL Deadline

Kirk Cousins reportedly wasn't the only quarterback the Minnesota Vikings targeted ahead of the trade deadline.

The Vikings also looked into a potential deal for the Los Angeles Chargers' Justin Herbert, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported Tuesday.

According to Schultz, the Chargers "immediately shut down all inquiries for Herbert."

The Vikings also asked about the Indianapolis Colts' Daniel Jones and New York Jets' Geno Smith before trading Tuesday for Cousins, according to Schultz.

The Vikings reportedly acquired Cousins from the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for a 2027 third-round pick.
