Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell is attracting interest from multiple teams looking to trade for him. He is entering the final year of his contract, and no talks have occurred yet regarding an extension. O'Connell has led the Vikings to a strong 14-2 record this season, positioning them for a potential NFC North title. His coaching has significantly improved quarterback Sam Darnold's performance, leading to a career year. The last head coach traded in the NFL was Sean Payton in 2023. While trading O'Connell is unlikely, the Vikings may offer him a new contract this offseason.
