I wouldnt mind a bit if Cousins was here to be a back-up but he'd have to give the discount this time or no deal - no deal probably makes the most sense. These guys aren't paying him big bucks. His days of the big bucks stopped in Atl.

I would actually be disappointed. They've (hopefully) moved on. Don't go backwards. Is KC's a better backup at this point than anyone? Maybe/probably. Just dont go there, no matter the cost or value. Lets move forward even if it backfires.

Cousins could hardly even move last season. He couldn't go under center and even take a couple steps fast enough to hand the ball off on a running play. Guy is toast. Why bail out the Falcons out either.

**** him.

He couldn't wait to roll out of here for more money last offseason. Don't want him back.

After Kirk's achilles injury I think Howell may be the better option.

So our backup plan at quarterback is Sam Howell? What, was Thurston Howell not available?

Sam Howell is terrible.

IMO; we're still working on bringing cousins back as #2...howell is smoke....

we're $17mm under the cap for a reason....

.

Asante Samuel Jr. (is the rumored reason).

I read that Vikings are bringing Nebraska CB Tommi Hill for tryout. Might be a darkhorse for PS.

There was a stat that had Hill and McGlovern as two of the top 10 at defending the pass 23-24......has to be an injury history Hill has to overcome to not get anything more than a tryout.

Maine wide receiver Montigo Moss, the son of Hall of Famer Randy Moss, has accepted an invitation to the Vikings’ rookie minicamp, Moss’ representation announced Tuesday.

Montigo Moss went undrafted over the weekend, but his father’s team will give him a shot as a tryout player.

Montigo Moss caught 61 passes for 722 yards and seven touchdowns in earning All-CAA honors last season.

Battles for roster spots?

Pick 2: Wilson - King - Asamoah
Pick 2: Redmond - Rodriguez - Ingram-Dawkins
Pick 1: Richter - Murphy
Pick 3: Rouse - Byrd - Jergens - Skule if they only keep 9 OL (Brandel gets a spot)

there are some 'experts' who predict that a udfa named Austin Keys, LB, Auburn is going to make the final 53....

richter is hard to bet against, but murphy seems to be more of an edge type - keep both....

i'd try to keep a couple of extra trenchers because our d-line is older, our o-line is new, and our center is coming off an injury....

also, i'd pay young players to practice squad, or ir a season....

Agree with the outcome of those fictional battles. Note Byrd or Skule are in play even with 9 OL. Figure the latter as he is a tackle.

In addition to the DL being older, for some reason it already feels like it needs a makeover. But with Flores the DL might again not be on the field a lot, who knows.

Will await the obligatory surprise player who takes training camp by storm.

Now that last year is a speck in the rear view mirror I'm kind of glad things played out as they did for JJM. In the sense where he was only ever in a position to watch and learn. Get hungry. I think the situation now meshes with his mindset.

I love some of his quotes.

I love the way things are looking.
