Kirk Cousins apparently has his backup in Minnesota.
The Vikings are finalizing a trade for Denver Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Denver will send Siemian and a 2018 late-round pick to Minnesota in exchange for a 2019 draft selection, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The former seventh-round pick started 24 games over the past two seasons but was unable to cement his place as the Broncos' long-term option under center.
The Broncos signed Case Keenum to a two-year contract Wednesday, making Siemian dispensible.
Cousins reportedly plans on signing a fully-guaranteed three-year deal with the Vikings and will have a strong second voice in the quarterback room upon his official arrival.
