I’m trying to rack my head, but I can’t think right now. So I’m asking the reliable interwebs, what is a phrase that means mission impossible.
Insert word or phrase into blank;
“The Vikings are ____ themselves in a ___ to try to trade the bulk of Kirk Cousins contract.”
Would mission impossible fit in the second blank. What’s a word that

You may want to edit and finish off your sentence so we know more about what you really want. But there are probably lots of ways of saying this depending on the situation (you'd have to add more to give us the context; we don't know who these Vikings or Mongols are).

Why do you have two blank spaces? Are you suggesting that you want to put the identical phrase into both? If not, only provide a single blank space.

You are already verging on something very near to the same meaning. Though it looks like you might have a noun in mind, the use of the phrase/idiom "near to impossible" (verb) or "near-to-impossible" (noun) as a descriptor would fit perfectly.
“The Vikings are engaging themselves in a near-to-impossible
task/try/attempt to trade the bulk of Kirk Cousins contract.”
Otherwise, since your question is tagged as a single-word-request, you might use "hopelessness" just as well.
“The Vikings are fooling themselves with the hopelessness of
trying to trade the bulk of Kirk Cousins contract.”
