Who says you can't go (back to what was once your temporary) home again? The Vikings, perhaps motivated by their dreadful offensive performance in their Week 9 loss to the Bills, went out and acquired Kirk Cousins in what was easily the biggest move of 2026 trade deadline day. That's where Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman kicked off their live coverage of the deadline. They also discussed Josh Downs to the Chiefs, the Jaguars big swings, and a whole lot more.
