Vikings Linked to Tom Brady Before Josh Dobbs Trade: Insider..

Searching for an answer at quarterback after losing Kirk Cousins to a season-ending Achilles injury, Minnesota Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said “you wouldn’t believe some of the things on my cell phone I’ve received.”

The Vikings had two days before the October 31 trade deadline to decide who would lead the offense for the rest of the 2023 season, which proved to be former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Dobbs.

But, according to former New England Patriots quarterback Scott Zolak, Tom Brady was among the names floated to O’Connell.

Zolak, co-host of “Zolak & Bertrand Show” said Monday, November 20, that the Vikings “reached out” to Brady. Considering Brady’s ties to O’Connell and roots in Minnesota, making a call makes sense for Minnesota.
