With the Minnesota Vikings off to a poor 1-4 start this season, there have been trade rumors swirling around them, and those rumors have included quarterback Kirk Cousins.
Cousins has been putting up very good numbers to start the year, and if he were to be traded, he could help a number of teams get to the next level.
Per Ari Meirov, he was asked if he would waive his no-trade clause, and he said he is only focused on the Chicago Bears, the Vikings’ opponent this Sunday.

Through five games, Cousins has completed 67.2 percent of his pass attempts while throwing for 13 touchdowns and four interceptions.
He has Justin Jefferson, arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL, by his side, but Jefferson will miss some time after being placed on the injured list with a hamstring ailment.
One team Cousins has been linked to is the New York Jets, who lost future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers to a torn Achilles on their first offensive series of the year and seem like a longshot to reach the playoffs as long as Zach Wilson is starting under center.
Minnesota won 13 games last season, but they lost in the Wild Card round of the playoffs to the New York Giants, and they lost wideout Adam Thielen, star running back Dalvin Cook, and pass rusher Za’Darius Smith during the offseason.
After playing the Bears, who are also 1-4, the Vikings will face a stiff test in Week 7 when they host the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football.
