Kirk Cousins Trade Talk: Vikings' Quarterback Dilemma

This has one player written on it and one player on it. And that's Kirk Cousins. If the Vikings want to give something substantial to the Raiders for Kirk Cousins, if I'm the Raiders, I would take it, just FYI. But if they were to do that, that's the only person I think that would even really make sense if you're not planning for something down the road, like a multi-year idea. Excuse me, if you're just looking at this year. Going forward, we want to try to get this year right. That's your answer. Outside of that, who are you going to trade for? Nobody's giving up anybody that can actually help them. Getting somebody off the street is a crapshoot right now because you already got a couple people off the street. So to me, this is a Kyler Murray or bust situation. They've got to figure out a way to get the best out of Kyler Murray while they still can. They got a couple of weeks. Again, GTA coming out, Call of Duty coming out. So when these two games are released, He's going to be getting pulled in multiple directions. The last thing he's trying to do is watch film. So you got to dumb that video down. And so to me, this is what I would do if I were them. I would probably call Cleveland and try to get Dylan Gabriel. Because I think Dylan Gabriel, even though he's pint-sized, he can operate in that offense. That's a Dylan Gabriel type offense. I don't think they could get Shadur from them. That was what I said. I would be looking for one of those type of quarterbacks to fit into this offense to go forward with them. I wouldn't necessarily be trying to find one-year solutions because that's what Kyler Murray was. It was a proven deal for Kyler Murray. Even though, again, they're still tied for first in the division because they beat Chicago, they're struggling. And they're struggling hard. And that's what I mean. We'll talk about it with Josh. You add just, I'm not even asking for an elite quarterback. Like there's people throwing out Stafford rumors and like Herbert rumors and stuff. They are because that's just what people do with the trade deadline. And I should expect it, but I just don't know which, like, would a backup quarterback around the league even help them? You know, cause you're, you're talking about a third string guy in Cleveland. You're talking about Mac Jones, but they're not giving him up. Yeah. And that's the thing. The 49ers aren't going to give him up. What if Brock Purdy goes down? They saw that when Brock Purdy goes down, that Mac Jones can take over immediately and play really well. You go to the bears like Tyson Bagent. You don't want that ham sandwich. I was going to ask you about it, but listen, I mean, even with that contract, I mean, they probably won't. Uh, but then again, you, you just look at it. They, all they need is an average quarterback. They don't need anybody that that'll, you know, run. They don't need a Lamar Jackson. They don't need a Justin Herbert. They don't need a Matthew Stafford. They just need somebody to get them down the field and Prosper pretty good. And that last drive, even though it was prevented, don't be that guy. That might be who's starting next week. I'm just saying against Seattle, that might be
