NFL Rumors: 'Vikings Aren't Throwing in the Towel' amid Kirk Cousins Trade Buzz

The Minnesota Vikings "aren't throwing in the towel on the season" as trade speculation continue to surround quarterback Kirk Cousins, according to The Athletic's Mike Jones.

Cousins will be a free agent in the offseason, while the 2-4 Vikings are seeing their playoff hopes fade by the week. Because of that, the four-time Pro Bowler is a natural trade candidate.

The New York Jets have been perhaps the most frequently floated landing spot in the wake of Aaron Rodgers' injury.

"The Jets could force their way back into a playoff race with a high-level veteran quarterback to run the show for their talented roster," Jones argued.
