Yes, considering he was sub-par last year...

Sounds like they are sticking with Zach.

..that said, I do think it's more complicated than that. For starters, the #1 pick or top 10 pick is just the chance at a QB better than Cousins. For every Chiefs team that clutches onto mediocre QBs, there's are teams like the Browns and Jets who have been striking out with high draft picks for decades. Trade Cousins in week 3 and are you worried about your star WR sticking around longer term? Other talent sticking around? Do you want your coach and OC on board or sticking around? And maybe the answer to all that is the Vikings shouldn't care, just blow everything up, sunk costs and all. ![]()

If the Vikings are 1-7 or 0-8 right at the trade deadline then maybe they could justify looking to the future… but if the Jets are equally as bad by then, it would be too late for Cousins to help save their season.

Cousins is a free agent after the season so yeah the Vikings should strike while the iron is hot

Honestly trading for Cousins is a win/win. Minnesota does not have the defense to make them competitive and will probably not resign him next year anyways. He hurts their chances of snagging a top tier QB.
The Jets are so committed to this year that sticking with Wilson would be catastrophic. They are all in this year and at this point Cousins is a major upgrade over Wilson. Cousins with those weapons and defense could make a lot of noise. |

Ponder sucked hard and Bridgewater was a low 1 who is ok but his knee injury killed his career there. |

Get some picks back. Tank to pick up a great pick in a real rock solid draft. Use that money to secure your stud playmakers while freeing up space to go after more weapons. |

Their best bet is to try to get mediocre play out of Wilson and maybe boost his trade value as he bides time for Rodgers to return. |
