Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur expressed surprise at the trade compensation the Minnesota Vikings gave up to acquire quarterback Kirk Cousins, stating he was "shocked" that the Vikings did not have to surrender more assets in the deal.
LaFleur made the comments during a press conference on Wednesday, reacting to the news that Cousins had been traded to Minnesota. The Packers coach suggested the Vikings received favorable terms, though he did not elaborate on what he believed would have been a fairer return.
The trade, which sent Cousins to the Vikings, has drawn reactions from around the NFL. LaFleur's remarks highlight the competitive nature of the NFC North, where the Packers and Vikings are division rivals.
