The Minnesota Vikings have until 4 p.m. ET on Nov. 10 to find a quarterback, and Carson Wentz just made that search urgent.
Independent NFL reporter Josina Anderson pointed the team toward Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders on X after the Vikings fell 23-6 to the Buffalo Bills on Nov. 9.
Anderson argued that other clubs should hold on to their quarterbacks before turning to Cleveland.

“#Vikings fans tell me what you see when you watch this recent example. Cause if I’m John Lynch, I’m not dealing Mac Jones. Raiders need Kirk Cousins in the building for young Ferd & that’s what is fair to the vets fighting for that team. If Mougey gives up Geno, then let Garrett, Breece & Will walk too…Cle still got Dillon.
“Sooooo. Tell me why this isn’t perfect timing?”
That “recent example” was her earlier post showing Sanders leading Cleveland’s last drive of regulation, which tied the game 16-16 and forced overtime.
Its key play was a 30-yard completion to Jerry Jeudy on third-and-6 with 41 seconds left.
Sanders also started the Browns’ Week 9 loss to the New Orleans Saints, going 19 of 31 for 297 yards and two touchdowns with a 114.6 passer rating.
Wentz’s night against Buffalo looked nothing like that. With Kyler Murray sidelined by a strained hamstring, he completed 8 of 25 passes for 81 yards with two interceptions and an 8.9 rating before Max Brosmer replaced him.
Justin Jefferson finished with three catches for 58 yards.
Head coach Kevin O’Connell left the trade question to general manager Nolan Teasley.
“I’ll defer to Nolan on that… we’ll get right to work on any potential moves that may be there,” O’Connell said.
NBC’s Mike Florio floated Daniel Jones and Kirk Cousins, two quarterbacks with Minnesota history, plus Geno Smith and free agent Jimmy Garoppolo.
Former Vikings receiver Adam Thielen told KFAN on Nov. 9 that a team with the NFL’s top defense has to make a move.
“It’s got to be a quarterback. It’s got to be. Nothing else,” Thielen said.
Without a deal before the cutoff, Minnesota’s quarterback plan runs through Murray’s hamstring and a passer who just posted an 8.9 rating.
