The first big-time trade request ahead of the NFL trade deadline has officially been made. It has come from Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins, as he has expressed a desire to be given an opportunity to once again play as a starting quarterback.

Kirk Cousins has admitted that he would not have left the Minnesota Vikings, knowing what he knows now, and his situation remains dire.

It's time to reignite the Kirk Cousins-to-the-Vikings rumor mill. With the Vikings' current QB struggles and the NFL trade deadline less than two weeks away, the Minnesota-Cousins chatter is has resumed.

With Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz landing on injured reserve for the rest of the year with a serious shoulder injury, the Vikings have two quarterbacks on the team.

Former Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins is in line to start for the Falcons in Week 8 when they take on the Dolphins.

Former NFL executive Joe Banner took to social media on X and made a post urging Minnesota to reunite with Kirk Cousins via a trade with the Atlanta Falcons. It's a move that could make sense if the Vikings are all-in on winning now.

The Atlanta Falcons are set to start Kirk Cousins on Sunday in the place of injured quarterback Michael Penix.

The Minnesota Vikings have been floated as a trade partner for QB Kirk Cousins, which could be the beginning of the end for J.J. McCarthy.
