I am looking forward to seeing JJ McCarthy play but I feel it is going to get ugly early. The game day threads should be glorious! If the team loses which almost everyone is predicting, then the “season is over” crowd will be out in full force and with fairly good reason. I will not give up hope though. The margins will be slim going forward and there will not be room for many more losses. It might be a must win tomorrow.
I thought the Vikings would be looking for a Cornerback since Okudah has had two concussions this season. I am not sure if there is anyone out there that is worth it though if you go by PFF grades. You do not really want to give up a decent pick for an impending free agent either. If the season continues going south then any player brought on board may want to go elsewhere next year.
I would not mind seeing the team take a run at Defensive Tackle T’Vondre Sweat of the Titans who might be available.
A couple of trade ideas below that I like is for Russell Wilson and especially Logan Wilson.
Tom Pelissero talks Vikings trade buzz and where Kirk Cousins fits in
“Kwesi’s always working the phones. Always trying to figure out what the opportunities are, not just to acquire, but also to potentially trade and pad what you have for draft capital in 2026 and beyond, so I would fully anticipate that that’s going to continue to happen. I don’t get the sense that anything is down the road or inevitable,” Pelissero told Vikings.com’s Tatum Everett.
“There’s a lot of other teams that are in the playoff mix right now that are targeting a receiver, targeting edge, targeting corner. Kwesi’s kind of open in terms of there’s a lot of different positions that you could use help. Now, the other thing that happens in the game before the trade deadline is, injuries can happen, and that can completely change the calculus here,” Pelissero continued.
But he doesn’t think Minnesota is on the verge of anything big, though injuries could change that.
“In terms of the big swing moves, I don’t see them going out and making a massive type of acquisition. But if there’s an edge that’s available that makes sense, I could see them having interest in that market. If there’s a quarterback, a veteran, and I’m not talking about the guy in Atlanta,” Pelissero said.
“Right now, I don’t believe that they’re going to go out and get Kirk Cousins and try to have him ride back in, even though I believe that he’d be very open to coming back, even as the No. 2. I don’t get that sense. But listen, you’ve got a very young room right now with J.J. McCarthy, Max Brosmer, and then they just signed John Wolford to come in on the practice squad. Somebody else who’s played, just...
