With the Minnesota Vikings 6-1 at the start of the year and heading into arguably the biggest game of the year against the Buffalo Bills tonight, the team could make a move before tomorrow's trade deadline. They have been linked to multiple positions, making them potential "buyers" this year. Most notably, NFL insider Ian Rapoport has linked them to a Daniel Jones trade.
"Daniel Jones is the subject of trade talks. The Minnesota Vikings have a history with Daniel Jones, plenty of speculation there. Based on his history, based on the quarterback issues there, I would consider the Vikings a team to watch. If anything were to happen, it would be Tuesday."
It is unclear if the Vikings front office has paid attention to any Indianapolis Colts games
this season. If they had, they would realize a trade for Jones is one of the worst things they can do to help "bolster" this roster and keep their playoff hopes alive. Jones has been dreadful for Indy this season, and a change of scenery is unlikely to change that.
Tonight's game against Buffalo will serve as a litmus test for what this team will do. If Carson Wentz can go out and steal a win over the perennial AFC favorite, or put together an actual NFL-level offense, he could do enough to win the job. Should he struggle, the possibility of Jones in Minnesota is very real.
