Here's the problem - they're a week too late.
They're playing KC - do they really think Cousins can come in, say Wednesday, and get involved enough in the offense to meaningfully change that outcome?
At 1-3, they're done. They're much better with Cousins than Wilson but not THAT much better.
As a cheap flyer - sure, give it a shot. Take a chance and see if maybe he can get you to 9-4 down the stretch to settle in at 10-7 and get that last Wild Card spot.
But if the Vikings are going to try to get a 1st or even a 2nd rounder for him? Pft - it doesn't improve your odds by THAT much.
They needed to beat the Patriots this week. They gambled, and lost, on Wilson's ability to do so. But Cousins, even on a limited install, could've won them that game pretty easily.
It honestly may just be too late to matter now.
