Vikings Potential QB Trade Dependent on 1 Thing With Carson Wentz

NFL insider Mike Florio reported that whether the Minnesota Vikings make a quarterback trade depends heavily on Carson Wentz's performance against the Buffalo Bills. Wentz is set to start on Monday night in place of Kyler Murray, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury that Florio characterized as an apparent soft benching. If Wentz performs well, he could secure the starting role, but a poor outing could prompt immediate trade activity.

Florio identified Daniel Jones of the Indianapolis Colts as an ideal trade target for Minnesota due to financial considerations and Jones's past familiarity with head coach Kevin O'Connell's offense. Florio also noted Kirk Cousins of the Las Vegas Raiders as a potential alternative, though Cousins would be more costly to acquire.
