Several NFL teams will be searching for a new head coach in the coming days, and some of them are reportedly planning to explore the trade market to find their new leader.
According to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports, multiple NFL teams have considered the possibility of trying to trade for Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell. Glazer said on Sunday that O’Connell is entering the final year of his contract with the Vikings, and teams want to see if there is a price tag attached to the 39-year-old.
“There are multiple teams that actually are considering trying to trade for Kevin O’Connell,” Glazer said. “The reason why: next year, the last year of his deal. They have had no contract talks yet at all. If you’re a team out there saying, ‘Why not take a shot? See if we can do it.’
“Maybe the Vikings don’t let it happen. But also Kevin O’Connell kind of has the cards here and, ‘Hey, listen, I’m not gonna re-sign there, so you might as well get something for me.’ Now, I don’t know, because I don’t think Kevin knows about this right now, but there are multiple teams that have him on that board.”
You can hear Glazer’s report at the 3:09 mark.
