Might as well get used to the idea of trading up to #2 for Daniels. I’m willing it into existence.

So as he cleaned out his locker Monday following the end of the team's season, and with the likelihood that he could be the best quarterback available on the 2024 free agent market, Cousins was asked a question: Would he embrace a hometown discount if that's ultimately what the Vikings seek?

"That's a great question and one I've thought about pretty much my whole 12 years," Cousins said. "I do think it's important to be aware of. I think that God has blessed me financially beyond my wildest dreams. So at this stage in my career, the dollars are really not what it's about."

Still looking for a straight answer to a simple question. Anytime he interjects God into a remark about his upcoming contract, watch out.

I think he did answer it. He said he's been blessed financially so the money isn't the most important issue with respect to where he would like to play next year. Having said that, I don't want the team to resign him.

Re-signing Cousins and trading up for a QB doesn’t mesh.

I hope any talk of bringing him back is lip service. Being kind.

"I mean, Kirk played great," Adofo-Mensah said at the time. "I think my want for Kirk to come back isn't just a 'me' thing. You know, it's a negotiation. You come together at the table..."

Correct, it's not just a 'me' thing Kwesi. Do you realize God himself will be sitting at that table? You damn well better supply the bread and wine.

I hope God says Sunday is a day of rest, he's tired of the hypocritical BS, and that no playing on Sunday better be in Cousins' contract.

Kinda "funny" how both he and Sabin are calling it quits when they realize their "success meal tickets" are taken from them. The 2 "greatest football coaches ever"

Take Brady away from BB and all the recruiting advantages from NS and guess what? They fall back down to earth.

Belichick, Sean Payton (who had Brees), Saban with now nonexistent recruiting advantages. Pete Carroll had his greatest success when Russell Wilson was at his best. Since Wilson started fading and then got traded Carroll's teams have been average at best.

Mike McCarthy, when gifted Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers managed exactly one supberbowl.

Ron Lafleur did next to nothing with Aaron Rodgers as a QB. Jordan Love may be competent, but he's no Rodgers.

I am sure I could go on and on about this.

Until the portal in College Football, it didn't take great coaching to win titles, it took good recruiting.

In the NFL the teams with the Stars at QB are more likely to win more.

Bad coaching can derail that, but without a stud at QB, your team is more likely to suck. And if your Star QB moves on or retires, be prepared for your team to suck, no matter who the coach is for some time to come.

Sean Payton did the smart thing and left NO after one year without Brees, but then inexplicably decided to coach again...
