Not great marks for the new regime. No moves. Wanted to get into bed with Cousins long term. Checked into Watson.

geoffrey greitzer -> RE: General Vikes Talk (3/13/2022 3:06:44 PM)
All speculation at this point. nameless one. I think he gets traded. too much money involved if he wont redo contract. Watson, no, no, no. Time to rebuild with draft. And getting out of over inflated contracts. Im with a down year to make that happen

Daniel Lee Young -> RE: General Vikes Talk (3/13/2022 3:42:17 PM)
Hard pass.. This team doesn’t need any more circus atmosphere. And **** his contract too.. He ain’t worth it.

Daniel Lee Young -> RE: General Vikes Talk (3/13/2022 3:46:44 PM)
Is DeShaun Watson better than Brett Favre, in skill and leadership, when Brett was here in 2009-2010? I doubt it. What part of too much cap money tied to one player, are you missing? Does it have less impact if we swap Watson foe Cousins? I give up… I hope Watson goes elsewhere.. That is all..

Checked into Watson. watson won his case with the grand jury on Friday...what's wrong with him?.... You do understand that the grand jury 'declined to indict on criminal charges' ... which is a lack of substantive evidence ... NOT 'he did nothing inappropriate and is absolved of any wrongdoing.' He may be innocent of all accusations by 22 different women ... from a legal standpoint he is innocent until proven otherwise ... but how do you prove someone has acted inappropriately [to a legal standard]? Very hard. The civil cases are moving forward and the NFL is still going to make their own determination ... He's not out of the woods by any measure. And, if you do sign him and another accusation comes out because, you know 22 accusers is a lot, you will have some serious 'esplainin' to do. Why do we always have to take the route most likely to bite us in the ass?

ratoppenheimer -> RE: General Vikes Talk (3/13/2022 3:50:30 PM)
. . watson has 22 active civil suits against him presently....

Does the “cap managing function” tell how future seasons are affected? I’m pretty sure reworking a ton of contracts has serious ramifications down the road - unless you convince players to willingly give up significant money. It’s not a “Get out cap he’ll free” card.

Do you think they're all lying?

Bill Johanesen -> RE: General Vikes Talk (3/13/2022 5:13:57 PM)
Watson fumbled 30 times in his four playing years. Thought that was a lot but it's not. Mahommes (26), Cousins (40), Allen (39), Rodgers (17).

Bill Johanesen -> RE: General Vikes Talk (3/13/2022 5:16:23 PM)
I seriously doubt Watson will be a Viking. Like 0% chance. We don't have "luxury" picks. We don't have cap space. But we DO have bloated contracts.

David F. -> RE: General Vikes Talk (3/13/2022 5:29:54 PM)
Our cap situation is going to keep us from doing much. Probably get akeem hicks and that’s about it. All the quick-fix scenarios that have been tossed out have devastating consequences down the road. I’d hate giving up the picks but Watson is better than cousins by orders of magnitude. His cap hits for the next four years are all in the 30’s. I’d force myself to live with the creepy massage stuff. Peyton Manning shoved his junk pile in a female trainer’s face - once - that we know of. Yes that is rationalizing. Sue me.

Peyton Manning shoved his junk pile in a female trainer’s face - once - that we know of. Yes that is rationalizing. Sue me. for sure, it's hard to make an argument for watson considering what he's accused of and the amount of women involved...that said, everyone deserves a second chance and I'll put my trust, and faith, in kwesi and o'connell - they'll do the due diligence, and if they think he's grown from the experience and a better person today, then I'll go with that.... watson is only 26 years old - his existing deal can be extended, and reworked, and for many years conceivably...i think kwesi can manage the cap to keep us competitive with watson on the team.... if the opportunity is there, we have to explore it - how many times does a team get a chance at a top five quarterback?....

Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (3/13/2022 6:47:00 PM)
So we reached an agreement on a one year deal for Cousins . What does that mean? We added 1 void year?

Bill Johanesen -> RE: General Vikes Talk (3/13/2022 6:49:11 PM)
ESPN reporting Brady is coming back.

Tom Sykes -> RE: General Vikes Talk (3/13/2022 6:49:44 PM)
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Vikings gave Kirk Cousins a one-year, fully-guaranteed $35 million extension, per source. He will make $40 million this year and $30 million next. Deal has two voidable years in it to lower his cap number this year to $31.25M. $50M of deal will be paid by this time nextyear

Bill Johanesen -> RE: General Vikes Talk (3/13/2022 6:50:12 PM)
Per Adam Schefter: Vikings gave Kirk Cousins a one-year, fully-guaranteed $35 million extension, per source. He will make $40 million this year and $30 million next. Deal has two voidable years in it to lower his cap number this year to $31.25M. $15M of deal will be paid by this time next year. And Schefter corrected $15M to $50M.

Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (3/13/2022 6:50:13 PM)
1 year extension for 35 mil guaranteed tying us to him through 2023. FAIL

Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (3/13/2022 6:52:04 PM)
Played by Cousins the short term contract douche.
