The Vikings of Minnesota have been linked to Aaron Rodgers since Sam Darnold left the team for the Seahawks in the Free Agency. Although the Vikings are probably the first choice of Rodgers, because the team offers him the best opportunity to go to the Super Bowl in the next two years, we still do not know how serious the Minnesota is serious about the quarter-arre veteran
If the Vikings finally decide not to bring Rodgers, the initiate of the NFL Adam Schefter a Another idea For the team.
“And that? Minnesota lost Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones. There is no obvious solution. And if Minnesota is just waiting for the project and can then a way for Kirk Cousins to go to Minnesota as a replacement for JJ McCarthy. Wouldn’t that be logical?” Schefter said on his podcast, via purple persuasion on X.
He does a few sense. But not so much. The cousins could stay where it is and be a backup. Falcons set up cousins in favor of Michael Penix Jr. last season, despite having a contract of $ 180 million over four years with 100 million dollars fully guaranteed for months earlier.
Would Vikings bring Kirk Cousins back?

Giving things more complicated for the plan of this Vikings is the fact that Atlanta does not really seem to be interested in trading cousins. Falcons have not engaged in commercial talks and seem to be content to keep the Véteran QB as a backup plan for Penix.
“I think the Falcons want to be able to say:” We have recovered something for this guy we paid so much to get. So maybe Minnesota says: “You know what, it’s worth it for us, we will give you a sixth round draft choice.” They haven’t resolved the number two, JJ rushing, you still don’t know what you are going to have. Schefter added.
Again, it is sort of do. Cousins, of course, wants to get out of Atlanta. And above all he wants to play. He could get this opportunity with the Vikings while JJ McCarthy is still recovering from the knee injury at the end of the season he suffered in the training camp last year. But if Cousins goes to Minnesota, he could well find himself in the same position in which he was with the Falcons. McCarthy could end up replacing him in the middle of the season, relegating him to the bench.
The Vikings took their time by reflecting on a move to ensure that Rodgers in the free agency. It is not clear if the team is really interested in the future temple of fame. But it seems obvious that Minnesota wants to add a veteran quarter-arre in case McCarthy is not ready to leave in September. It is simply difficult to imagine that the veteran will be cousins.
