MINNEAPOLIS (AP) A person with knowledge of the deal tells The Associated Press the Minnesota Vikings are negotiating a trade with the Denver Broncos to acquire quarterback Trevor Siemian.
Siemian would give the Vikings a capable backup who started 24 games for the Broncos over the last two seasons, with free agent Kirk Cousins the team’s primary target as the new league year began Wednesday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal, first reported by NFL Network, was not final.
Cousins was scheduled for a visit with the Vikings, who watched quarterbacks Case Keenum, Sam Bradford and Teddy Bridgewater all join other teams.
Keenum went to the Broncos, who juggled between Siemian, Brock Osweiler and Paxton Lynch last season.
