Packers’ Jonathan Gannon would’ve bet his car the Vikings would trade for Kirk Cousins, and he would’ve won

It started with a rumor, and Green Bay Packers DC Jonathan Gannon smelled it. Then the Raiders sent Kirk Cousins to the Vikings. And Gannon would have bet his car that the Vikings would trade for Cousins, and he would have won.

Gannon said as he left a press conference, according to a post on X by Tyler.

“@mattschneidman: ‘Enjoy the Kirk Cousins tape.’ Jonathan Gannon:
Ha… I'd bet my car.’ ”

Cousins went from Las Vegas to Minnesota for a third-round pick in the 2027 draft. And that means the Packers will face Cousins right away. These teams are scheduled to play Sunday in Green Bay.

Packers DC Jonathan Gannon has done a good job

The first thing that needed to happen was a healthier unit. The Packers still don’t have their superstar edge rusher, Micah Parsons. But they’re getting close to what Parsons said back in September, according to acmepackingcompany.com.

“We just need to get healthy,” Parsons told me on September 16, three days after the Packers lost their season opener to the Minnesota Vikings, 39-22. “I think once we get healthy, and I’m back on that grass or that turf, we’re going to take it to another level.”
