Wow Rick Sosa...you sure you could let Cousins go for that?

How bold.


His “opinion” and “take” on possible Vikings dealings carries as much water as cheese cloth..

He is a Vikings website “writer” who has “connections” through the popcorn vendors cousins brother-in-law..

Stream of consciousness word smithing by a website “writer”, has as much validity as my pillow guy “ facts”..

.

Rick Sosa@sosarick
About 2,000 likes and 1,000 mentions in the last 24 hours.. I’d say I’m doing pretty good.. or should I say way better than you.


Here is an easy litmus test. Who follows them?

On Twitter I follow all the major Vikings writers for local and national publications, most of the big national NFL guys and a handful of the bigger blogger/website guys.

Almost anyone worth reading will be followed by at least a few of the guys I follow.

Take Arif. Love him or hate him, he's followed by 27 people I follow. Including all of the Minnesota guys (Judd, Tomasson, Scoggins, Wolfson, Schmidt, Jon K, Gleeman, Christensen, etc).

Rick Sosa?

"Not followed by anyone you’re following"

.
Rick Sosa@sosarick
I think we should trade the second best QB in the NFC.. for some unknown players out of college.. that sounds like a fantastic idea #Vikings


Are you Rick Sosa?


He might be Keyser Söze.

Sources: The #Bears are closing in on a trade of star pass-rusher Khalil Mack, sending him to the Los Angeles Chargers for prime draft pick compensation.

The #Chargers are sending a 2nd rounder and a 6th rounder in 2023 for Mack. Massive.

Well they'll need to trade one or more of those guys or they'll end up cutting one or more. We're still $15 million over the cap. Extending Cousins can't cure that entire problem. Extending Cousins AND Hunter cures it - for now - but pushes problems down the road. If I'm Kwesi I'd be unwilling to double down on either one of those guys.

_____________________________

I wouldn't give ANY qb $30-50+ mil unless that QB had won me a Super Bowl. Did you win a Super Bowl on your rookie deal? Yes? Great! Here's your hugenormous contract. F it let's just run victory laps and love life. No? Good luck. Next!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

In 2018, the Bears sent two first-round picks, a third-rounder, and a sixth-rounder in exchange for Mack, a second-rounder, and a conditional pick that became a seventh-rounder.

Bears had one year in 4 with a winning record and no playoff wins.

Talks to the vets and team leaders about what kind of leadership they're looking for. Hires those types then ushers those players out the door.

I mean i get that this team would eventually reflect their vision vs the old one but I didn't expect it right away.

regarding a place for cousins....


Phil Mackey 🎙@PhilMackey
These teams all still need QBs - or are reportedly not sold on their incumbents:

Colts ($69 mil cap space)
Steelers ($29 mil)
Panthers ($26 mil)
Seahawks ($42 mil)
Bucs (-$10 mil)
49ers (-$4.5 mil)
Browns ($18 mil)
Dolphins ($51 mil)
Saints (-$33 mil)

Because 1 yr at 45M guaranteed makes him untradeable.

The Colts make a lot of sense. THey're built to win now, have no QB, and have tons of cap space. Cousins + $6 mil for the Colts 2023 1st rounder doesn't sound crazy. Basically, the Colts flip Wentz for Cousins and a 1st rounder, and their cap is the same as if they had kept Wentz.

They have some serious work to do regarding Cousins, Hunter, and you know get cap compliant.

Yes, my point.

If you're the Colts, why haggle over first round picks and millions of dollars to not move forward.

i understand that, but it seems that the commissioner's exempt list is somewhat arbitrary and i wonder if the league had recommended that we cut gladney....

it seems that the vikings did what was better for the NFL, the league as a whole, and i don't think they shouldn't be punished for that....
