Vikings consider Kirk Cousins as backup quarterback option
The Minnesota Vikings are looking for a new backup quarterback to support J.J. McCarthy. McCarthy is a young player recovering from a serious knee injury, making a veteran backup essential. Several experienced quarterbacks are available. Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson are notable names. However, Rodgers prefers a starting position, and Wilson's skills may not be strong enough for the Vikings. Another option is Kirk Cousins, a former Vikings player. Cousins is currently under contract with the Atlanta Falcons. A trade proposal suggests that the Vikings could bring him back to Minnesota, which would surprise some fans. Cousins would be willing to take on a backup role, which could benefit both him and the Vikings. This option could work in the short term, but Cousins may still want to compete for a starting job. If so, Minnesota might not be the right fit for him.
