A new trade proposal suggests the Minnesota Vikings could pursue a $100 million quarterback while moving on from both Kirk Cousins and Daniel Jones. The concept emerges as head coach Kevin O'Connell oversees training camp at the Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center in Eagan, Minnesota.
The Vikings' quarterback situation remains a focal point entering the 2026 season. Cousins, who has been with Minnesota since 2018, and Jones, a potential free-agent addition, are both referenced in the trade pitch as players the team would pass on in favor of a high-priced signal-caller.
O'Connell was photographed observing practice on August 1, 2026, as the team prepares for the upcoming campaign. No specific target for the $100 million quarterback was identified in the proposal.
