You never know what you’ll see on social media these days. Wild rumors are always spreading about what teams are going to do or should do. For the past two days, there have been rumors about the Vikings potentially trading with the Rams to acquire veteran quarterback Matt Stafford.
There was speculation that Kevin O’Connell wanted to reunite with Stafford and hope to bring a Super Bowl home to Minnesota. The Rams would then get Sam Darnold and give him a massive extension.
But the thing is, it’s just a rumor. Ben Goessling with The Star Tribune said there is zero truth to the trade speculation.
The truth is, Minnesota is 5-1 with Darnold, and the hope is that the Vikings can rally around J.J. McCarthy starting next season. Minnesota might be buyers before the trade deadline, but the Vikings will be searching for defensive lineman or guard help — more than likely.
