Compensation in Josh Dobbs trade revealed

The Minnesota Vikings traded for former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Dobbs earlier today, and now we know the compensation. According to reports from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Josina Anderson, and others, the compensation was a low-level pick swap.

Reports are surfacing that the Vikings are sending a sixth-round pick to the Cardinals in exchange for Dobbs and a seventh rounder. Schefter has gone on to report that their are conditions involved in the trade that could escalate the seventh round selection to a sixth, though no specific details are available at this time.

It is unlikely that Dobbs starts this Sunday, given the short amount of time he would have to get integrated into the team. However, Dobbs will likely be worked into the team in short order, given the move to go get him. It’s a move that carries very little risk, and could bring a high reward if Dobbs is able to keep the Vikings rolling.
