With the NFL trade deadline looming this week, the phones should be active in the front offices of the Minnesota Vikings. They have been linked to a number of players, but in recent days, the idea of bringing back Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones has been a hot rumor to watch. According to Adam Wells of Bleacher Report, the move is very much on the table:
Schefter and Rapoport added there has been speculation around the Minnesota Vikings and they "shouldn't be ruled out" as Carson Wentz is set to start on Monday night against the Buffalo Bills with Kyler Murray out due to a hamstring injury.
The Vikings are in a fascinating spot with their quarterback position right now. Murray has not provided the boost they were hoping for after signing
him in the offseason. He ranks 26th out of 31 qualified quarterbacks in success rate (38.5 percent). His 44.6 QBR ranks 26th.
Both things can be true: the Vikings need a change at quarterback, and Daniel Jones under no circumstances should be a Minnesota Viking this week. Jones has not played well this season after coming back from his torn Achilles, and a change of scenery is supposed to change that? If the decision is between adding Jones or bolstering IOL, DT, or RB, the decision is fairly easy. What will the Vikings do?
