ESPN's Dan Graziano believes the Giants are linked to both Kirk Cousins, Sam Darnold, and Aaron Rodgers ahead of NFL free agency in March.

Vikings were a one-dimensional team. They made the playoffs with a productive offense led by Kirk Cousins, Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen and Dalvin Cook, but the defense was brutal against the pass and even worse against the run.

Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins, Sam Darnold, Justin Fields and Daniel Jones are in focus as the NFL’s quarterback carousel begins to spin.

Thanks largely to Cousins’ current contract, the Vikings have landed the NFL’s most valuable compensatory pick for the 2025 draft. Minnesota will add pick No. 97 overall, which will come in the third round after the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles ’ regularly scheduled selection at No. 96.

The Minnesota Vikings‘ impending quarterback decision is no stranger to fans; to bring back Sam Darnold, or to move forward with JJ McCarthy as the franchise QB. Whilst the Vikings are reportedly working to bring back the former #3 overall pick,

On Monday, during the first day of the 2025 NFL negotiating period, Dobbs found his home for what appears to be the next two seasons, signing a two-year deal with the New England Patriots, to sit behind 2024 No. 3 overall pick, Drake Maye. This after spending 2024 in San Francisco.

Cousins is coming off of a rough 2024 season with the Atlanta Falcons where he threw for 3,508 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions while completing 66.9% of his passes. Those aren't great numbers, especially from a turnover perspective.

After suffering an Achilles injury that cut his season short, Cousins saw the Falcons shift gears at quarterback. Atlanta used the No. 8 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft to select Michael Penix Jr., signaling a change in direction. Now, with Penix viewed as the franchise’s future under center, Cousins has become an expensive afterthought.
