Jordan Love had Erin Rogers in front of him..
We have nothing but trash under contract as of the new league year..

How do you know? There are a couple of QBs we could sign who aren't Kirk. (Minshew, Garropolo, Mayfield are just examples).

At the start of the league year, we currently have
Mullins and Hall.
That’s it..
Those guys are PROVEN trash..
You honestly think that KOC and KAM have any plans?
Other than waste money and cap in a “ deal “ to resign KFC.?
We are probably the only NFL team with such a poor situation at the most important Position on offense.
You are one of the KFC Stan’s.. so you think the position is fine, because you are convinced that the team will cave in, in a panic, and let KFC teabag our organization and cap space for 2-3 more years.
I don’t want that POS, Cousins, to ever throw a competitive pass in a Vikings uniform.
And I’ll get my answer, one way or the other, at 4pm eastern, on march 13, 2024.

Actually if it was me I would see what Baker wants....he impressed me last year but the same thing applies....2/50 and you still grab a qb in the first.
Again....I hope they learned a lesson last year (2 qbs and cutting a player a year early is better than a year too late). I think they learned that they kept Thielen a year too long....Kendricks being cut was about correct.

The cap situation is better than it was in 22 and 23 even though it did go up.

And burn dang near half of the rookie's contract on the bench? Terrible use of resources.

Besides, Mayfield isn't signing somewhere for just two years.

Nonstarter.

The last two that sat...Jordan Love and Mahomes. Makes me want to consider it.

Reid said in retrospect Mahomes could have started in year 1. Mahomes alluded to it as well.
Invoking ANYTHING to do with Mahomes is disingenuous at best unless one is also saying they absolutely expect (not just hope) the QB in comparison to be in the running for the GOAT. And that would be a flawed expectation.
It's the same thing as the tired "Well, Brady was drafted in the 6th round."

No matter what...get 2 quality QBs. If the rookie deserves to start so be it. Draft 2 if needed SC, Tulane, WKU, or Tenn QB later also.

So you burn two years of the rookie QB taken #11 overall (thankfully based on a signing that won't happen), then have that QB go through the somewhat typical growing pains in year three. Now it's year four - with the 5th year option looming - before a team can BEGIN to make a thorough evaluation.

So, David, you’re confident, like Bill, that Cousins isn’t going to be resigned to be the shittiest “bridge” QB we could have?

I'm not confident about anything with this crew.

But I think if we sign Cousins, we don't draft a QB high. We kick that can down the road because our guys think we can win a Super Bowl...

I'm with you DL. Either this regime is the sneakiest the league has seen or they are most likely winging it. I hate to find out either way. KAM is overinflating the price of JJ by basically telling his reps "we'll give you what you want. just tell us". Just a dumbass strategy as a GM.
Then you have KOC begging to get KC's back in public which is driving his price tag up. All the while you are holding up signing the best piece of a pretty mediocre (talent wise) D until you sort these issues out. BTW - that position has Andre Carter and...............................?
It just seems to me like these guys don't have a plan that isn't "try to run it back". I hope to God I'm wrong.

Mattison told he will be cut. Saving over 3 million in cap

Apparently Schefter says pre March 15th. Roster bonus day.

From Andrew Kramer:
Turns out over the cap was wrong until it was recently changed to reflect that Mattison had a trigger date on 2.75M gteed. Vikings releasing him before that, and saving that money. Easy call, it'd seem.

So Mark Anderson do you want to chime in on how easily they can clear 60 million in cap. [&:]

It might take void years and dead cap till 2040 but I think we can do it. [;)]

You could be right. As much as that would suck.

Maybe I’ve poo poo’d the Russel Wilson idea too much. Pay him dirt cheap and let him try and rebuild his reputation wo any long term commitment.

I just loathe the idea of Cousins in the way of seeing our rookie.

if we added up all the dead cap and void years from every team in the nfl i'd bet it's close to $1billion....
