Vikings reportedly listening to trade offers for 3 stars

According to reports, the Vikings are considering trade offers for KJ Osborn, Harrison Smith, and Danielle Hunter.

If this year’s poor start continues, the Vikings might decide to make changes for the following campaign.

Kirk Cousins will remain in Minnesota, but the Vikings are allegedly considering trade offers for other important players on the roster.

Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports that Danielle Hunter, K., “has received calls and will continue to listen” to potential deals on Saturday.

Osborn as well as Harrison Smith.

The dominant San Francisco 49ers are scheduled to visit U.S. if the Vikings lose at the Chicago Bears on Sunday after starting 1-4.

As Hunter only signed a one-year contract with the Vikings in the offseason, he has been the subject of trade rumors for a while. The edge rusher would probably command a respectable return for the Vikings in terms of draft picks, but he could be a huge defensive addition for any contending team.

Smith’s contract is up in 2025, and even though he’s 34 and nearing the end of his career, his defensive skills have established him as one of the best safeties in the league.

Following Justin Jefferson’s injury, the 26-year-old Osborn is likely to play more for the Vikings, but he will likely still trail T.
J. Hockenson and rookie Jordan Addison are ahead of them in the target hierarchy, and you get the impression the Vikings would trade him if a good offer came in.

Russini substantiates earlier reports from Adam Schefter stating that Kirk Cousins is likely to remain in Minnesota and not waive his no-trade clause.

Russini claims that any interested team would have to give up significant draft assets and be able to pay his salary, which complicates the situation further.
He also claims that the Vikings have no desire to trade him.

Teams like the Jets, Steelers, Browns, and Falcons would seem like potential trade partners, but Russini writes that he doesn’t get the impression that any of these organizations are interested in making a move of this nature.
