Kirk Cousins' trade request could send him back to the Vikings to mentor JJ McCarthy

Kirk Cousins is unhappy in his current situation.

While the four-time Pro Bowl quarterback has a job with the Atlanta Falcons, he's fed up with being the No. 2 guy at the position. He's done being a backup -- or at least he wants to be.

Earlier this week, Cousins requested a trade from the Falcons before the Nov. 4 trade deadline, and he wants to be sent to an organization where he'd be the No. 1 guy. It's unclear what that organization is, but it looks like his options may be limited.

Looking through the teams that currently need a quarterback, one really stands out: the Minnesota Vikings.
