The Minnesota Vikings needed a quarterback. Kirk Cousins’ Achilles injury made them the most convincing team to buy at the trade deadline.
The Vikings did what must be done, and shopped with the Arizona Cardinals for quarterback Josh Dobbs. The former Pittsburgh Steelers 2017 fourth-round pick is on his seventh different team. Dobbs’ lone win of 2023 is from Week 3 when the Cardinals beat the Dallas 28-16 at home. With Arizona, Dobbs went 167 for 266 with 1,569 passing yards, eight touchdowns, and five interceptions. On the ground, the 28-year-old carried 47 times for 258 yards and three touchdowns.
Twitter did not hesitate to provide reactions to the trade. Here is a sampling.
