49ers Insider Issues Mac Jones Take to Vikings After Week 9 Loss

San Francisco 49ers reporter Grant Cohn urged the Minnesota Vikings to contact general manager John Lynch about trading for quarterback Mac Jones. Following Minnesota's 23-6 loss to the Buffalo Bills on November 9, Cohn argued the Vikings desperately need quarterback help before the November 10 trade deadline, though he questioned whether San Francisco would assist an NFC competitor.

The Vikings struggled offensively against Buffalo as Carson Wentz completed just 8 of 25 passes for 81 yards and two interceptions before being replaced by Max Brosmer. With starter Kyler Murray sidelined by a hamstring injury, CBS Sports analyst Bryant McFadden also concluded that Wentz is not the answer for Minnesota's offense.
