Joshua Dobbs Trade Grades: Vikings Add QB Help After Kirk Cousins’s Injury

Joshua Dobbs Vikings Kirk Cousins Minnesota Cardinals Jaren Hall Kyler Murray Falcons Arizona Browns

The Vikings had no choice but to make a move. On Tuesday, they did.

After Kirk Cousins tore his Achilles during the fourth quarter of a 24–10 win over the Packers on Sunday, Minnesota had few options. The Vikings could either turn to rookie fifth-round pick Jaren Hall out of BYU or find another option with experience.

General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah took the latter route, trading for Cardinals quarterback Joshua Dobbs. According to ESPN, Minnesota is sending a 2024 sixth-round pick to the Cardinals while also receiving a seventh-rounder in return. Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said on SiriusXM that Minnesota is preparing to start Hall on Sunday against the Falcons.
