As for 2025, just look at 2027. Similar thing. Cousins, Davenport, Oliver, Murphy, Bradbury, and Lowry all continue their dead cap void years... but only if they somehow are still under contract.

Note: this is for illustration on void years. Some of the lesser players can be cut as early as 2025 with no cap issue. Murphy is a weird one.

Still, Kwesi and his sycophant Brzez have essentially one-upped Spielman in terms of dead money, except there is no talent! $50 million in dead money to go 7-10.


Kwesi is one and done. Out of football after this idiotic foray.

I did the spotrac manager deal. I released Cousins and Hunter and their cap charges stayed the same.

Where did you see that they have to remain on roster or all their dead cap charges add up and count this coming year?

I'm not saying you aren't right. I'm just going by the spotrac site.

It's an easy search and is all over the place. Might help if you see it from another source. Like this tidbit from NFL.com: If there is dead money in a player's contract and he is released or retires, that charge will accelerate onto the team's salary cap for the current year.

All you need to know is if Cousins, Hunter, and Davenport hit free agency then the Vikings cap is dealt a $50 million hit for 2024.

What I am seeing is the 50M is already factored in on the 28M under figure.

I see what you are saying. Alright, $50 million is factored in. The whole point of this was the line that if we dump Cousins and Hunter, they will still count 18M in 2025.

So Kwesi has $28 million ($24 million per Overthe cap) plus Smith's cap savings, JJ restructure, etc. to work with to, well, accomplish a LOT.

The offseason spending - and how it is paid for - will be telling.

I agree. Sometimes Dan speaks in garbled gypsy curses (shout out Tim Dillon) but somehow I understand. Still funny.

If Hunter walks, to me, is a really pivotal moment for KAM. Coupled with his other whiffs, that would be it for me if I were the owner. It's one of the most important positions in todays game and you get jack squat for him?


it's not like we were pushing for a SB so we had to take the chance. Everyone knew that last year wasn't "it" for us so you have to be smart and maximize your assets. Hell, he was a commodity trader for God's sake.

Not sure I agree.

Some in the 'anything can happen' crowd are still leaving Dia de los Muertos sacrifices at the shrine of 13-4.



The truly depressing part about the Hunter stuff is the reporting that's come out of Purple Daily. Apparently, around the deadline, KAM asked the players what they thought about trying to trade Hunter (as in, he asked for their opinions).

You're the GM of the team dude. Do you expect to get an honest assessment from his boys? That's just 2nd grade GM'ing, if true. It's one thing to get input on decisions in the offseason from some leaders. It's a whole different S-show to do it in season while they are just trying to win some games.

I'll be shocked if this guy succeeds with what I've seen so far.

I agree.

Sometimes you gotta be willing to sell for the sake of long term improvement. Not selling before the deadline after KC got hurt was a major mistake.

Yep. His first move out of the gate was a face plant and he's done nothing to turn it around. I'm sure to a degree this competitive rebuild is a mandate from the Wilfs, but KAMs player evaluation and player value are atrocious.

I dont see it. At all.

Get our QB first. Exhaust all resources at young core pieces, QB Edge CB LT. Please

I would not trade anything until after this draft.

Cooper Rush has a cap number this year 2,875,000. So not a big cap impact for a better back-up than we've had in a loooong time (on paper).

A backup that give you some starts would be a good thing. But our assets are minimal as it is.

His biggest non-draft move was for a TE. His biggest draft moves were a S that doesn't back up much less start ... and a #2 complimentary WR.

Zounds.

If he were any good we wouldn't be able to get him at all.

No thanks.

Maybe?

He has one cheap year left (and an expensive 5th year option).

My worry is he isn't at all a KOC Quarterback, and I haven't seen anything from KOC that he's adaptable to talent.

Chicago hasn't had a good QB in my lifetime and their HC is terrible. I want to see him get a chance with a legit coach who knows offense.

Having the first pick also muddies the evaluation of how Chicago actually feels about Fields. They may like his traits but find it hard to pass on a truly great prospect like Williams.

And then he proceeded to hammer Dobbs into a square hole once he started to learn the playbook. I'm sure if he got Fields in the offseason, he'd have plenty of time to try to forge him into Cousins...

Fields has already been outspoken about QB/offensive coaching. That might magnify here. He might join Flores and file a lawsuit!

I’ve heard speculation that he didn’t want to change the O mid season but if he gets the offseason he can adapt but it’s a good point
