But the deeper the Vikings dig their hole, the more relevant a topic a Cousins trade will become, even if numerous hurdles stand in the way of it coming to fruition.
The first of those hurdles is Cousins’ contract. The 35-year-old quarterback has a no-trade clause, meaning any potential deal would require his sign-off. This creates a host of questions surrounding Cousins.
• Would he be willing to leave Minnesota on a relative whim? He has said multiple times that this is where he wants to finish his career.
• Would he be OK having to learn a new offense on the fly? He has expressed that he sees immense value in accumulating time and experience with the same system and play caller.
• Would he leave a team that he feels passionately about with so many games to play? In 2015, Cousins began 2-4 with Washington, then marched the team to a 9-8 record and a playoff berth.
