Why the Vikings Pulled Trigger on New QB

The Minnesota Vikings sent a 6th-Round pick to the Arizona Cardinals on Tuesday in exchange for veteran quarterback Joshua Dobbs and a 7th-Rounder.

Two days prior, the Vikings lost QB1 Kirk Cousins to a torn Achilles suffered at Lambeau Field. Cousins won’t return in 2023 and is tentatively scheduled to hit free agency in March.
