What happened: The Minnesota Vikings have identified Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins as a primary trade target ahead of Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline, per Adam Schefter. Minnesota began calling teams across the league regarding quarterback options following Monday's 23-6 loss.
Why it matters: Minnesota holds a 6-2 record but faces immediate instability under center following an offensive slump. While the Raiders previously stood pat on Kirk Cousins, a reunion would place the veteran back with the franchise to stabilize its playoff push.
By the numbers: Wentz has completed 31 of 64 passes for 357 yards with 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions in 2026 through 3 games.
What to watch: The NFL trade window closes at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, leaving Minnesota limited time to negotiate a deal with Las Vegas.
