As the Kirk Cousins News Sinks In, the Vikings Need to Pivot Toward the Trade & Free Agency Markets for QB Help

Very few in Minnesota want to see a Vikings game where Sean Mannion is getting the start. Far more preferable would be Jaren Hall, Nick Mullens, or a new addition.

Yes, the incredibly discouraging Kirk Cousins injury has quickly given way to a cruel reality of NFL football: the game keeps moving forward, so the Vikings need to find help for the game’s most important position.

Unfortunately, the team’s QB2 — Mr. Mullens — is still recovering while on the IR. The end result will almost certainly be a start for Mr. Hall, the 5th-round rookie who saw his first NFL action in Week 8 after Cousins missed the remainder of the game with his Achilles injury.
