Vikings may pursue trade for quarterback Mac Jones
Summary

The Minnesota Vikings are exploring potential trades for a quarterback, specifically Mac Jones of the San Francisco 49ers. Vikings starter Kyler Murray is currently dealing with a concussion, prompting discussions around adding depth at the position. Sources indicate that Jones could be available, as he has shown capability as a starter and is expected to leave in free agency by 2027. A conditional second-round pick might be sufficient for a potential deal. Considerations would likely include moving either Carson Wentz or J.J. McCarthy as part of any trade.
