Will the Minnesota Vikings consider trading Kirk Cousins if their season does not turn around quickly? The quarterback has a no-trade clause and would have to approve such a deal, and he does not sound eager to think about that outcome right now.
Cousins was asked Wednesday about whether he would be open to waiving his no-trade clause, but the veteran was simply not interested in even considering it.
“You know, I am just very focused on the Bears and going 1-0 this week,” Cousins said, via Kevin Seifert of ESPN. “And anything else is not worth my time or energy or attention.
“Ignorance is bliss, and I’m just really ignorant. I don’t really have access to a whole lot, and I try to do that by design. So it’s pretty intentional. Aside from high school friends who may text me who they’re reading … I really don’t know what’s going on. I’ve been insulated at times to the point of being naive and a little stupid, but I’d rather err on that side than consuming everything.”
The Vikings are in a complicated spot. They sit at 1-4 to start the season and have lost the biggest part of their offense for the foreseeable future.
Speculation about how the team might respond to their slow start has been a source of some frustration, but the questions get more pertinent with each loss. Cousins may have to give a more firm answer sooner rather than later.
