The Vikings have been linked to an old rumor involving a promising passer who has long been in the trade speculation.
The Athletic's Ted Nguyen proposed a hypothetical trade sending San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback Mac Jones to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for third- and fifth-round draft picks. The proposal aims to boost Minnesota's struggling passing game under head coach Kevin O'Connell, especially with current starter Kyler Murray on a one-year deal.

Joudry notes that San Francisco would likely hesitate to trade a reliable backup quarterback to an NFC rival, while other alternative options like Kirk Cousins also face substantial trade hurdles.
