If the Minnesota Vikings fail to extend Kirk Cousins by noon on Monday, they may find themselves in a precarious situation regarding their quarterback position. Reports suggest that the Vikings are contemplating the addition of two former first-round quarterback disappointments from the New York Jets.

Should the Minnesota Vikings be unable to secure an extension for Kirk Cousins by noon on Monday, they could face a challenging predicament concerning their quarterback situation. According to reports, the Vikings are considering the possibility of acquiring two former first-round quarterbacks who failed to live up to expectations with the New York Jets.

According to Zach Rosenblatt of The Athletic, the Vikings have their sights set on Baker Mayfield. However, if Mayfield remains unavailable in free agency, Minnesota may explore other options, such as trading for Zach Wilson and signing Sam Darnold.

This strategy would involve both quarterbacks competing for the starting role during training camp for the upcoming season.

In a bold move, if the Vikings lose Kirk Cousins, they would prioritize acquiring Mayfield. Yet, if Mayfield isn’t accessible in free agency, the team might consider taking a chance on a promising young quarterback. Despite facing challenges in his previous starting roles, Darnold’s arm talent has never been in doubt.

After a season in Kyle Shanahan’s system, he could be poised for another opportunity as a starter—although this decision could potentially unsettle Justin Jefferson, who is seeking a new contract.

Interestingly, in 2021, some within the Jets organization favored retaining Darnold while drafting Wilson. Now, the Vikings have the opportunity to explore this scenario. Although Wilson is exiting New York, he still possesses considerable talent that could flourish in the right environment, making Minnesota an appealing destination.

While the idea of Wilson and Darnold teaming up seemed far-fetched initially, the possibility now appears more plausible.

             Is the Minnesota Vikings looking to acquire two former New York Jets disappointments?

According to Darren Wolfson of KTSP, the Vikings have shown interest in both Sam Darnold and Zach Wilson. They are particularly considering Darnold, and the team has conducted some research on Wilson as well.

The Jets drafted Sam Darnold with the No. 3 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, but his tenure in New York didn’t pan out as expected. Following this, the Jets selected Zach Wilson with the No. 2 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Now, both quarterbacks, who struggled to meet expectations in New York, may have the opportunity to revitalize their careers in Minnesota.
