Why are Vikings not trying to trade Kirk Cousins?

[stormtrooper8]

Seems like a logical thing to do after a perceived great game

I know he has the clause, but I figure they could get around that if push came to shove

 

[jjgold]

Because he gives them the best chance to win every week

 

[samsncharge99]

He declined the trade option

Win what?

the 7th seed?

 

[stormtrooper8]

He declined the trade option

I wonder if he’d change his mind if the organization said they wanted to rebuild

Or if he was traded to a potential contender... Not sure who that would be but, he might bite on the option then.

And replace him with who though?

And replace him with who though?

Whoever their backup is

 

[Wagerallsports]

Whoever their backup is

Do you mean solely to move forward from him & his contract?

Maybe play for draft position and a QB ?

Whoever their backup is

Jaren Hall (rookie).
5th round draft pick out of BYU.

They'd probably pick up someone with some experience (albeit not anyone decent).

 

[BigJay]

And replace him with who though?

Brett Favre? Tommy Kramer?

Brett Favre? Tommy Kramer?

Is Fran Tarkenton still alive?

Yep exactly

 

[jjgold]

Anyone else they finish 5-12 at best

they need him

 

[BigJay]

And replace him with who though?

Spergon Wynn?

Win what?

the 7th seed?

Minnesota are only 2 games back of Detroit. Why would they trade him and why would he want to leave ?

They’re not gonna win the division lol Detroit is much better than them and has much easier schedule

Minnesota is going nowhere. Not even close to a contender

 

[stormtrooper8]

Plus they wanna pay Jefferson

That may well be your opinion, but the facts at this very juncture say they are still in the hunt. None of us can guarantee the future. Goff could get injured and their running game already has injury issues ( re: their bad beatdown to Baltimore ).
Everyone kept saying Miami were serious SB contenders after putting 70 pts on Denver. They followed that up with a 48 - 20 embarrassment at Buffalo. NO team is guaranteed anything. That's why they play the game.
