The Minnesota Vikings are considering a trade for Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins following struggles at QB during their game against the Buffalo Bills. Carson Wentz's poor performance has prompted the Vikings to seek stronger options as they aim for a championship run. Reports indicate that general manager Nolan Teasley may need to act before the trade deadline, as Minnesota's defense remains a strong asset.
