Re: Kirk Cousins calls a meeting this offseason....
https://heavy.com/sports/minnesota-vikings/kirk-cousins-nfl-news-rumors/ Pretty encouraging to see this. Maybe Cousins feels like he actually has a voice in this locker room now. Supposedly he blew his teammates away with what he said in this meeting. It's a good read. However it's an even better l...

Re: Vikes sign Zadarius Smith
Further details on his contract. Looking much better even. https://twitter.com/SeanBormanNFL/status/1507175549826912256 Described as a three-year, $42 million contract, the Za'Darius Smith deal in Minnesota is more like one year at $9.5 million. At most, it's two years, $22 million. It has a phony t...

Re: Mannion is back baby
It would be great if the third QB was the developmental guy with upside, so that if the starter went down, you'd bring in the No. 3 and have the No. 2 mentor him. Unfortunately, I doubt that guy is Kellen Mond. I agree. I have seen nothing in Mond that would give me any hope he is the developmental...

Re: Vikes sign Zadarius Smith
Yep, he gambled and won. Hopefully this is a win for the Vikings as wellStumpHunter wrote: ↑Tue Mar 22, 2022 2:05 pm Smart move by Smith to not take the initial offer from Baltimore. He is making 7 million more total on a contract that has one fewer years on it.

Re: Mannion is back baby
If Kirk goes down you're not winning with any of the backups you can sign in FA right now. Might as well go with the budget friendly option that you know. Especially when cap space is tight. Correct. Mannion is super boring, but he is safe and cheap. It also doesn't mean he is locked in for the yea...

Zadarius Smith in for a visit
In a bit of a surprise, it's being report that Za'darius Smith is visiting with the Vikings today: https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/1505970450177867781 If they plan to keep Hunter and sign Smith, that would be a very nice upgrade. I'm a little worried this might mean they have an idea that th...

Oh, this is interesting.

Re: Watson to Cleveland
This is shocking to me. 3 FRPs and other draft compensation and then Cleveland gives Watson 5 years $230 million fully guaranteed. A guy who didn't play last year and only won 4 games the year before. He certainly has potential, buttttt............... Neither the trade or contract is official yet, ...

Re: Vikings "a good quarterback on a cheaper contract away from being dangerous"
I was not on board for going after Watson either. Talented player but way too much baggage. Not guilty... but so much smoke surrounding him that's it's a bit hard to trust there is no fire, and there are no doubt going to be civil lawsuits coming, and there could easily be a suspension coming. That...

Re: Vikings "a good quarterback on a cheaper contract away from being dangerous"
Man. I've been a part of this board for about 15 years or so I think. In my memory, I don't think I can recall a Viking as polarizing for the fans as Kirk Cousins. I don't think we could have a thread about a backup kicker or the rising price of concessions without it turning into a Kirk Cousins pi...

Re: If they were to hire a new HC...
I'm an old guy, who talks about the good-old-days with fondness... but even I feel like it's time to infuse some youthful thinking into the coaching staff. I would prefer a young head coach that is not stuck in the old ways of thinking. Someone who is not afraid of analytics and making a mistake. Li...

Re: If they were to hire a new HC...
Jon Gruden is available. He is, just fired, but just kidding, no one touches him with a 10' pole at this point. I thought you were joking until I looked it up but he did not get fired, he just stepped down but Raiders are dumb for giving him a 10 year contract and bringing him back since usually 2n...

Re: Seahawks@Vikings postgame
It's almost like they're using their offensive line's weakness to its advantage with the screen game. I guess if the defensive line is getting to the backfield anyway just let them, pull off some offensive linemen and throw the screen. Screens should be utilized more often with athletic small offen...
