Lets not waste time with Trey Lance. Also, there is real uncertainty with his injury too.

Waste time? 8 Million for 2 years and a third to have a top backup and a QBOTF?


I'd think if he was all that, SF would want to keep him.

Especially considering Purdy is no sure thing to be ready to start the season. And even if he is, he's hardly proven he's the guy long-term.


I would actually go with this David Justice Moneyball play....SF is paying more of your salary than we are.

SF is in as bad of Salary Cap as we are.

The #Vikings have officially exercised the fifth-year option for star WR Justin Jefferson, source said, perhaps the biggest no-brainer on earth (only slight hyperbole).

He’s worth every Penny, and much more, but this a reminder that 5th year options aren’t cheap

The #Vikings have picked up Justin Jefferson’s fifth-year option, a source confirms. With an escalator for multiple Pro Bowls, he would be in line to make around $19.743 million in 2024.

Nothing new in concrete. He’s not in Eagan, I don’t expect him to be a Viking this season.

Possible he's now able to pass one. Couldn't before though, as we have discussed.

I don't know. Like I said probably not too many people around here would be calling them a contender after a 31-7 spanking - but I probably would, yes.

Knowiing me, I probably considered them ready for the SB after the 40-doughnut fiasco

Oh snap, I thought the 31-7 thing was a hypothetical!

Poor Purdy came back in and secured some record for lowest ypa or something that will never be broken.

But at least up until his injury he showed he has a bit of IT. Which leads me to... draft Georgia QB Bennett Stetson late. Um, I mean Stetson Bennett.

Stetson Fleming Bennett IV to be precise.

It was only 7-0 when Purdy got hurt.

Johnson (their 4th string QB) was so bad, that they brought an injured Purdy back in to hand the ball off every play starting with their 2nd drive of the 3rd quarter.

No doubt they were screwed when Johnson's number was called, but ...

... they lost to Bears, Broncos and Falcons, gave up 44 to the Chiefs, and were shut out by the Texans.

But still, SF was a very good team. I'll admit it even though I brought up their schedule more than anyone last year. HST, every year, unless you have a Mahomes, is a crap shoot. And with those losses I don't know how you can be guaranteed anything - especially, .like the Vikings, you are playing a first place schedule

I don't know. Like I said probably not too many people around here would be calling them a contender after a 31-7 spanking - but I probably would, yes.

Knowiing me, I probably considered them ready for the SB after the 40-doughnut fiasco

31-7 spanking with their 4th string QB.

Contenders with their first, second and third string QB.

Us, with our starting QB ... not so much.


Oh snap, I thought the 31-7 thing was a hypothetical!

Poor Purdy came back in and secured some record for lowest ypa or something that will never be broken.

But at least up until his injury he showed he has a bit of IT. Which leads me to... draft Georgia QB Bennett Stetson late. Um, I mean Stetson Bennett.

Stetson Fleming Bennett IV to be precise.

Please don’t use his full name again. He sounds like the Fourth Earl of Snotbury or something, not a draft prospect.

This draft is shaping up as a ‘War of the Gargantuans’ it seems, between you and Marty over our late rd QB selection … ‘your’ choice Bennett (you’ve plugged him several times) vs Marty’s DTR … its added a whole new level of intrigue.

I hope you bring your ‘A’ game …

I like DTR's highlights, but if he is horrible the rest of the time.

I also value QBs that win their Bowl games, but AJ McCarron has never been much more than a pretty average backup in the NFL.

Lets not waste time with Trey Lance. Also, there is real uncertainty with his injury too.

Waste time? 8 Million for 2 years and a third to have a top backup and a QBOTF?


I'd think if he was all that, SF would want to keep him.

Especially considering Purdy is no sure thing to be ready to start the season. And even if he is, he's hardly proven he's the guy long-term.


I would actually go with this David Justice Moneyball play....SF is paying more of your salary than we are.

SF is in as bad of Salary Cap as we are.


Probably not as painful when you're a contender.


Pretty sure everyone assumes they are a contender in the offseason.


But some actually are...


In April. I wouldn't be so sure.

I'm not so sure if the Vikes would have lost 31-7 in the NFCCG we'd call them a contender


Are you telling me if the Vikes made the NFCCG last year, you wouldn't be calling them a contender right now?

Uh, twice. Frankly, there is no way they take a projected backup QB with a late rounder when they can trade down for... whatever. I don't know what Marty is saying but I'm sure he is waffling. Waffle House should add a name to a dish after him. Or just name the whole company Marty House.

How about Francis Asbury Tarkenton.

I didn't think about the Sir Francis thing. Hmmm there's an angle ...

FanDual odds to win the SB:
KC +600
Phil +900
Buf +900
SF +900
Cin +1000

I concede, according to the odds, SF is a contender. Imo, I wouldn't say they are in great shape at QB, though

Tom Pelissero@TomPelissero
Aaron Rodgers signed his revised contract with the #Packers before 4 p.m. ET Tuesday, per source. So everything remains on schedule: Trade papers can be filed after 4 p.m. ET today and Rodgers will officially become a member of the #Jets.

Tom Pelissero@TomPelissero
The restructure pushed all but the minimum salary and a small workout bonus into 2024, so New York will need to rework it again. Green Bay will carry a roughly $40 million dead cap hit in 2023 and Rodgers will be off the books in 2024.

Tom Pelissero@TomPelissero
By reworking the deal this way, Green Bay saves $14.575M in 2023 cap space instead of getting a credit in 2024.
For at least the next couple days, Rodgers is due $1.215 million in 2023 and $107.6 million in 2024. This will obviously change.
