49ers trade deadline 2026: The Vikings are eyeing Kirk Cousins

There are a few hours until the trade deadline. Jordan Schultz predicted there would be more than eight trades on Tuesday. We’ll see if that comes true. It’s been a relatively quiet morning so far. Nothing on the San Francisco 49ers front yet. Jake Moody found work again. The Falcons added him to their 53-man roster from the Ravens’ practice squad. We’ll keep track of every rumor, like the Niners have their eyes on wide receivers. Speaking of which, Schultz also said Brandon Aiyuk could land with an unnamed NFC team, likely on their practice squad, once the 49ers release him. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said Broncos tight end Evan Engram has drawn interest but is unlikely to be traded because the Broncos don’t have a replacement. Fowler also said the Jaguars plan to keep Brian Thomas Jr. until the deadline. The Commanders are listening to offers but, according to Ben Standig, are unlikely to do so. trade players before the deadline. The Vikings, after a terrible Monday night performance from Carson Wentz, are making calls around the league in their search for a quarterback. If you’re the 49ers, upgrading a contender makes little sense unless Minnesota overpays for Mac Jones. That situation has Kirk Cousins ​​on top. The Eagles traded running back Arnold Ebiketie for a sixth-round pick in the 2027 draft. Ebiketie played with Raheem Morris in Atlanta. Albert Breer reported that the Jaguars made a significant offer for Will McDonald before Monday’s trades. Perhaps that’s a sign that the Jets’ asking price for McDonald is too high. Update from Kyle, 10:25am PT: Surprise, surprise. Adam Schefter tweeted that the Vikings have identified Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins ​​as the leading trade candidate.
