An intriguing trade proposal has surfaced, suggesting the Minnesota Vikings might trade Pro Bowl quarterback Kirk Cousins to an NFC rival.
Vikings' hesitation to extend Cousins' contract amid a 0-3 start fuels speculation about trading the four-time Pro Bowler to avoid losing him in free agency.
Matthew Schmidt of NFL Analysis Network proposed that the Atlanta Falcons acquire Cousins in exchange for a second and fourth-round pick.
The Falcons, led by Desmond Ridder, have had a solid start to the 2023 season with a 2-1 record, but the potential acquisition of Cousins could boost their chances of success.
Adding Cousins to the Falcons' roster would significantly enhance their prospects of winning the NFC South and making a deep playoff run.
If the Vikings are out of playoff contention by the trade deadline, trading Cousins makes sense and the Falcons, with QB uncertainty in Ridder, appear to be a suitable trade partne
