Russell Wilson urges unbeaten Vikings to add help before NFL trade deadline

The push comes a week after he backed a Packers move.

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated 1h1 min read

What happened: Russell Wilson is calling on the Minnesota Vikings to pursue a major roster addition ahead of the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline, saying there is 'nothing wrong with help.' The endorsement follows a similar pitch Wilson made one week earlier encouraging the Green Bay Packers to upgrade their roster.

Why it matters: Minnesota holds the No. 1 seed with an unbeaten 6-0 record, giving the front office a strong cushion to aggressively reinforce the roster for a deep postseason run. NFC North rival Green Bay sits at 4-3 in the No. 7 seed, keeping deadline pressure high across the division as contenders weigh upgrades.

By the numbers: Minnesota holds the No. 1 seed at 6-0 (W6 streak) following a 16-10 win on Oct. 25, while Green Bay sits at 4-3 in the No. 7 seed (L1 streak) after a 20-17 loss on Oct. 25.

What to watch: Both NFC North front offices have until the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline to complete any roster additions.
