Broncos allegedly had a trade in place for a QB last week but one of the teams pulled out of the deal. Always makes me wonder about Cousins. Vikings notoriously come out and publicly state their allegiance to a player before they trade him ala Diggs and others.
That's interesting. No doubt Paton will want to act boldly in his new position. That's the first thing he said at his press conference. Interesting that the other team pulled out. Could it be because the other team is Houston and they caught wind of the Panthers' offer? Could Paton want Teddy? Seems with Siemian, Sloter, Keenam, Cousins there's been an exchange of, or at least an interest in, the same QBs. Or could it be Kirk?
No doubt 49ers want Cousins, but they're not going to get him for a Wentz offer. It would have to be closer to the Stafford offer. And would the Vikings even take it? I feel pretty confident that the chance the Vikings trade Cousins for a draft package that leads to a top QB in the draft is less than 1%. Way too much chance for that to blow up in their face. Trade your top 10 QB for the right to draft the next, say, Jameis Winston? No. There has to be a veteran involved. And other than Watson i don't see one out there.
Interesting dynamic to consider here is that Paton knows exactly what the Vikings think about Cousins. He knows what ownership thinks, he knows exactly what the Vikings' plan is for his contract.
