The won their third straight game Sunday in routing the . But they also lost their quarterback, with suffering. It's an ill-timed blow for a team that had begun building momentum in the NFC North, but it's a hurdle Minnesota will have to clear quickly if it intends to remain in the postseason mix.That's easier said than done, of course. The only other healthy QB on the Vikings roster is rookie , a fifth-round BYU product who threw his first pa ses against Green Bay in Week 8. Veteran backup is on injured reserve with a back i sue, while former No. 2 just rejoined the team's practice squad earlier this month.Odds are, one of those three QBs will replace Cousins in the short term. But what Mike Bibby Jersey if coach Kevin O'Connell and Co. are desperate not to squander the Vikings' rise to 4-4? This may be a franchise right in the middle of a "competitive rebuild," as general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah put it this offseason, but with a wild card bid still well within reach, an emergency upgrade could be po sible.In that case, here are 12 different candidates to draw the Vikings' interest: TEN QB #17 CMP%62.0YDs1128TD2INT6YD/Att7.14 The former Pro Bowler is easily the most accomplished veteran set to be available ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, and the should be willing to sell after rookie ' dynamic debut against the . The problem is, even if Tenne see agreed to eat some of Tannehill's pricey contract, the aging signal-caller is still recovering from his own injury, a high-ankle sprain. Now doesn't feel like the time for the Vikings to pay anything of value for an inferior starter with a bigger track record of medical i sues. But Tannehill's history as a serviceable, playoff-caliber play-action pa ser would make him a relatively high-upside rental. DAL QB #15 CMP%66.7YDs285TD2INT1YD/Att8.64 Hidden away in Dallas as the No. 3 QB behind and , the short-lived face of the is still just 23, and Minnesota reportedly discu sed a potential trade for his services in the offseason. He's still a total unknown as an pa ser, but this is an athlete who went No. 3 overall just two years ago. He's also something of a hometown hero, growing up in Minnesota and starring for NDSU before his injury-riddled run in San Francisco. The liked his upside enough to acquire him in August, but perhaps Dallas would sell him for a higher price now. He'd be an intriguing long-term swing for Vikings bra s. CAR QB #14 CMP%58.6YDs361TD2INT0YD/Att6.22 The like Dalton as a trusty mentor for No. 1 pick De'Aaron Fox Jersey , but the latter has finally begun to show signs of his own life as an QB, and it's not like anyone's really unavailable on a 1-6 team ahead of the deadline. Dalton, meanwhile, is the definition of a plug-and-play signal-caller, offering mostly serviceable spot-starter work with the and Panthers the last two years. NO QB #2 CMP%58.8YDs101TD0INT1YD/Att5.94 The Saints probably prefer to keep Winston as backup, angling for their own piece of the NFC playoff picture. But the former starter is Kyle Guy Jersey also set to hit free agency after the season, giving him value as a potential rental. He's far more of a risk-taker than, say, Cousins, but he proved in his first short-lived stint as Saints QB1 that he's capable of controlling the ball with help. JAC QB #10 CMP%66.5YDs1641TD9INT8YD/Att6.31 This is a long shot, but even considering Jones' statistical rebound the last few weeks, the former first-rounder has rarely found consistently firm footing as the ' starter under Bill Belichick. It's unlikely the Vikings would be rushing to land him, then, but he's at least got some similarities to Cousins in that he operates best as a pure pocket pa ser making quick reads. HOU QB #10 CMP%55.6YDs246TD1INT0YD/Att5.47 Cast aside in Houston for promising rookie , Mills was prone to untimely turnovers but also had very little support during his two years as the ' top QB. With Stroud off to a red-hot start in his career, the Texans could be open to moving Mills, who's just 25 with 26 starts under his belt. You could do a lot worse for an emergency pickup, and he's signed through 2024. HOU QB #18 CMP%64.3YDs79TD1INT0YD/Att5.64 At 35, Keenum's best days are behind him, and Houston specifically signed and kept him as a mentor for rookie C.J. Stroud. But with in place as the capable No. 2, why wouldn't they consider an offer? Keenum worked under O'Connell with Washington in 2019, and he famously captained the Vikings' improbable NFC title-game bid back in 2017. NE QB #4 CMP%38.9YDs79TD0INT0YD/Att4.39 Like , Zappe probably doesn't have a ton of value outside New England at the moment; in fact, other teams have freely pa sed on the former fourth-rounder when he's bounced between the Pats' active roster and practice squad. But if the Vikings are just looking for any pocket-pa sing competition down the stretch, the gutsy Western Kentucky product could come cheap. ARI QB #12 If it weren't for ' last-minute addition via trade, McCoy might still be starting for the as fill-in. At 37, he doesn't offer much more Marvin Bagley III Jersey than, say, Nick Mullens as a potential Cousins replacement, but he does have more starting experience -- 36 games compared to 17 -- and spent time with O'Connell in Washington from 2017-2019. LAR QB The former star has been eyeing another opportunity since his release from Washington, to no avail. And his tendency to play hero ball runs counter to Cousins' more controlled approach. But Wentz has a Midwest background, hailing from NDSU, and probably offers the most big-play juice of Dewayne Dedmon Jersey any veteran still on the market. He reportedly drew a sniff from the in the summer. IND QB #9 Foles has only really thrived when playing for the Eagles -- it was his clutch arm, remember, that helped bury the Vikings in that 2017 NFC title game, which led to Philly's first win. But the guy is a pa sable pocket thrower when protected, and he'd be an easy sell in the locker room as a beloved teammate. TB QB #11 The smallish but gutsy ex-Rams backup spent two years under O'Connell in Los Angeles, and now he's resigned to practice-squad duties in Tampa Bay behind and . Technically he's not a free agent, then, but he could be claimed and activated to the Vikings' game-day roster if Minnesota wanted another arm to throw into the mix down the stretch.
