The only obvious way to lessen his ridiculous cap hit is a re-nogotiated contract..

But if you had a GUARANTEED 45 million dollars… on top of the millions you have a.ready banked. What would you do?

Does Cusins strike you as a “ what’s best for the team” guy?

Mr. Throw it into the stands or out of the endzone in crunch time is not what I call a team friendly, smart, QB.

Adequate.

Impressive?
No.

He likes KOC..

big deal..

Rework that boat anchor contract and start shopping him around..

JMO


Do you think some of it was the Zimmer effect? The only reason he has a 45 million cap is because they restructured and moved money around. Do it again.

I think you don't change the offense for a year and see what you have....Defense is what needs a ton of work.

Zimmer also lost on a 23 yard miss.

Yes. In a game we dominated and still lost. That game should've never gone down to a fg. But Zimmer is happy to kick fgs. Should have won still no doubt. Far too many kickers sucked under the Zimmer regime for it to be a coincidence however.

It's a good point. It would be nice to get some useful intelligence about the new regime's view towards Cousins but it won't happen until the day he gets traded or extended or we draft QB with a first in the April draft.

I do believe hiring Harbaugh would have been a sure sign of wanting quicker gratification, using Cousins and what's already here, and loading up again this offseason with spare veteran parts to try and shortcut our way to competitiveness ... I don't think you bring Harbaugh in for a rebuild.

Cousins might be a good bridge for one or two years, I can't image making such a low key worker bee type the leader of your franchise for years to come.

"Stefon Diggs lined up at CB against Trevon Diggs at WR and Kirk Cousins didn't throw the ball their way because he is a thief of joy."

The offense was horribly coached last year and top 10....defense was 30th.

Zone Coverage talked about just scheme wise how each game last year could have been easier for J Jefferson and Cousins. LA Rams made games easy for Kupp by putting him in the slot 67% of the time on 1st and 2nd downs and throwing to him.....J Jefferson 23% in the slot; about 1/3 KJ Osborne.

Vikings expected to hire Broncos running backs coach Curtis Modkins as their run-game coordinator/RBs coach, per source. Denver’s running game was stout last year.
@mikeklis
reported earlier that Modkins was leaning this way.

Modkins was the offensive coordinator for the 49ers in 2016, when Kevin O'Connell was an assistant coach and Kwesi Adofo-Mensah was working in analytics.

I bet these guys when they're young and bonding make deals with each other. "If you make it big you gotta bring me along ..."

You could also argue Kubiak was superb last year having to navigate Zimmer's and Cousins' shortcomings. Denver probably thinks so.

I myself would not argue that but it holds as much weight as saying the coaching sucked but the offense was top ten.

Status: offline 		Ed Donatell favorite to be Minnesota Vikings' defensive coordinator on Kevin O'Connell's staff, sources say

Ed Donatell has emerged as the favorite to fill the Minnesota Vikings' defensive coordinator role, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano.

A deal hasn't been agreed upon but the sides are talking and working on a potential deal, the sources said.

The Vikings are expected to hire Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell as their new head coach after Super Bowl LVI, sources have told ESPN. With Donatell, O'Connell will have a coordinator with 31 years of NFL coaching experience leading his defense.

The Vikings are not permitted to announce O'Connell's hiring until after the completion of the Super Bowl because his team is still playing.

It was expected that Donatell would be joining Pete Carroll's staff with the Seattle Seahawks, but now Seattle is bracing to lose him.

The 65-year-old Donatell has 10 seasons worth of experience as an NFL defensive coordinator, including the past three on former Denver Broncos coach Vic Fangio's staff. He also was the University of Washington's defensive coordinator in 2008.

The Broncos' defense finished eighth in the NFL in yards allowed (5,544) and third in points allowed (322) this season under Donatell.
