Out in Minnesota, the Vikings are in the middle of what\u2019s likely going to be a pivotal offseason.<\/p>\n

Quarterback Kirk Cousins is about to be a free agent, with the veteran 35-year-old signal-caller, who is coming off a season-ending Achilles injury, likely set to cash in for what could be his final time as a pro.<\/p>\n

If Cousins departs, it\u2019s going to leave the Vikings in a massive hole, especially coming off of seasons where they\u2019ve been in the mix in the NFC North.<\/p>\n

Right now, it\u2019s uncertain whether Cousins will come back as he\u2019s expected to garner interest and it could leave Minnesota in a position where they may need to let him go and potentially turn their attention to the draft in order to replace him.<\/p>\n

As it currently stands, the Vikings sit at #11 but there are rumblings that they could also be among teams who could be looking to make the leap up the board to take a quarterback.<\/p>\n

According to Alec Lewis of the Athletic, who covers the Vikings,\u00a0an LSU staffer told him<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0that Minnesota was \u201cone of the earliest teams to dive into, evaluate, and express an interest in\u201d Jayden Daniels.<\/p>\n

The fact they\u2019re even looking at Daniels tells you that there\u2019s possibly an interest in moving up for Minnesota.\u00a0 Given how the draft board is starting to shake out, that would require the Vikings to potentially make a deal with one of the teams sitting in the top three slots, with the Patriots clearly being one of those at #3 overall.<\/p>\n

The Athletic\u2019s Chad Graff, who previously covered the Vikings before taking the job here in New England to cover the Patriots,\u00a0appeared on the\u00a0Purple Insider\u00a0<\/em>podcast recently<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to discuss a variety of topics, including their QB situation.\u00a0 That discussion included a potential trade by Minnesota next month with New England, which would see the Vikings move up from the #11 pick to #3 overall.<\/p>\n

Host Matthew Coller noted that Drake Maye is also a player who Vikings coach Kevin O\u2019Connell is said to be fond of.\u00a0 So he asked Graff if he believes the Patriots should accept a deal that would allow New England to add a haul of choices while allowing the Vikings to replace Cousins and get their future QB.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo Washington takes Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye is on the board \u2013 I think that\u2019s who [head coach] Kevin O\u2019Connell would like the most \u2013 I\u2019m going to offer you three first-round picks,\u201d said Coller.\u00a0 \u201c#11, and then two additional first-round picks, and then we\u2019ll throw in some change \u2013 maybe a second-rounder in 2026.\u00a0 Is that enough for you?\u201d<\/p>\n

Graff believes it\u2019s a deal worth considering, noting that 2024 is likely going to be a tough season and the Patriots need all the ammunition they can get as they continue restocking their roster.\u00a0 He also believes adding picks also gives them flexibility next year should the club covet a quarterback at that point.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes,\u201d said Graff.\u00a0 \u201cI may not be allowed back in the grocery store around here.\u00a0 Everybody wants to just hold onto the number three pick, take the quarterback and move on. If the Patriots could get two additional first-round picks including #11, sign up for that.\u00a0 Do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis roster stinks.\u00a0 It needs as many first-round picks as you can possibly get.\u00a0 And then, next year, if you do hit on some guys this year and you target a quarterback that you like, you\u2019ve got the ammunition that you can then be the team to move up and go get whoever.\u00a0 And if we\u2019re being honest, they\u2019re probably not going to be very good next year.\u00a0 They\u2019re probably going to have, almost certainly, a top 10 pick, probably even a top 5 pick again next year.\u00a0 You\u2019re going to have another chance to get the quarterback.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Patriots are not in a spot where adding Drake Maye or Jayden Daniels is going to change their outlook, whereas I think it would for Minnesota.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve got a guy on a rookie deal in Justin Jefferson, and the pieces that they have there, I would sign up for that for Minnesota.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Giants also recently have been rumored to be interested in moving up into the top three, which means that Eliot Wolf may find himself with an interesting decision in the coming weeks.\u00a0 At the same time, going the route of trading down would likely require\u00a0at least bringing in a veteran early in free agency<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and taking steps to give them someone capable enough to start in September if they\u2019re going to cash in and follow the strategy Graff \u2013 and others \u2013 have suggested.<\/p>\n

However, New York is also reportedly meeting with Russell Wilson, which could possibly take them out of the mix if they ultimately end up bringing him in.\u00a0 Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Wilson was spotted in Newark last Friday for what he called an \u201cexploratory meeting.\u201d Pittsburgh is another team that\u2019s said to be interested.<\/p>\n
