The Minnesota Vikings could still trade for a quarterback before Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. That's according to ESPN insider Adam Schefter, whose sources believe the Vikings could enter the trade market to pick up an experienced backup QB after losing Carson Wentz for the season to a serious shoulder injury.

Vikings fans hoping for a splashy Kirk Cousins reunion may want to temper expectations.
