Rumor: Vikings on the hunt
The Minnesota Vikings just lost Kirk Cousins for the season with an Achilles tear. Their only backup is rookie Jaren Hall out of BYU. Will they trade for someone to close out the season, or stick with Hall and hope for the best?
Rumor: Teams inquiring about Jacoby Brissett
Brissett joined the Washington Commanders in 2023 and is playing behind starter Sam Howell. Several teams have been plagued with QB injury issues already this season, and the veteran Brissett has reportedly been generating interest.
Rumor: Titans listening to Tannehill offers
The Titans are in a new position after watching Will Levis tear up the Falcons in Week 8, and could shop around Tannehill with the rookie now having proven himself. Head coach Mike Vrabel said that Titans would listen to offers for any player. Tannehill is currently out with an ankle injury.
