Could the New York Jets Trade for Minnesota Vikings QB Kirk Cousins?

The New York Jets find themselves at a crossroads early in the NFL season. After a disheartening 15-10 loss to the New England Patriots, their record now stands at 1-2. With the menacing Kansas City Chiefs scheduled to arrive in New York next weekend, a 1-3 record seems more than likely.

Enter Kirk Cousins from the Minnesota Vikings. A veteran with a proven track record, Cousins could potentially turn the tide for the Jets. Securing him wouldn’t be easy, nor would it be cheap. A trade for Cousins might demand a first or second-round pick. Fortunately, the Jets possess such picks in 2025 and 2026.

With Cousins under center, the Jets dramatically increase their odds of becoming a playoff contender. Without such a move, the gloomy cloud of another losing season looms large over the franchise.

It’s a bold move, but desperate times call for desperate measures. The clock is ticking, and the Jets must decide their trajectory for the remainder of the season.
