Can you tell me who the dead weight was specifically? Who I overpaid? How wanting to draft a QB a pick before a very competent GM traded up to pick him was reaching for a QB?
So a couple things.....
1.) You didnt have us trading Cousins in this "plan". You had us holding Keenum and then drafting Love.
The 7th was a bit tongue in cheek, since it probably would have taken our 3rd rounder to dump his contract on some sorry team.So here is my offseason plan based on a hypothetical Cousins for 7th rounder trade
How many SB runs with Rick again? How many teams have you GM'd to a SB that you think your opinion is better than his about Love?Pondering Her Percy wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 10:13 am 2.) Just because a "very competent GM" traded up for Jordan Love, doesnt mean it was a good move by any means. Howie Roseman was once looked at as a competent GM however, he done nothing but bury his team in cap hell and botch draft picks ever since their SB run.
You really need to stop going on about how Love has so little potential. The last time you did this after a QB's rookie season they went on to win the MVP. Please, for the sake of Vikings fans everywhere, stop ripping Love before it is too late and the Packers have 15 more seasons of great QB play.
No, just adds more questions.Pondering Her Percy wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 10:13 am 3.) Here is my exact response to your "plan" back when you posted it......
___________________________
.....I literally dont have a clue how you even thought this was remotely close to being realistic or even affordable.
Here is every free agents you signed cap hit this year and next:
Suh- $8 million in 2020, free agent in 2021 (which obviously never really filled a hole)
Ryan- $8 million in 2020, $7 million in 2021
Glasgow- $6 million in 2020, $12 million in 2021
Conklin- $8 million in 2020, $13 million in 2021
Those 4 free agents alone counted for $30 million in 2020 and $32 million in 2021 with a hole left at 3 tech DT.
THEN you add on the following:
-Keenum's contract which would've been roughly in the $12 million per year range.
-Diggs' massive contract
-Griffen's contract
-Mack's contract
-Klein's contract
-Harris' new contract
....lol like I dont even know what even say to you other than I hope you're joking because you are so far beyond the cap right now it's not even a question. I feel like you're approach here just blew up in your face because you didnt realize how much you just added to this roster in place of Cousins.
The difference in cap hit between Cousins contract (right now and in previous years) compared to Keenums (what he got from Denver), is roughly $12 million. We could've landed 1 of those 4 free agents if we were lucky but most of that $12 million is eliminated because of who you decided to retain.
So to sum it all up, this mock offseason you tried to list was so far from reality it's not even funny. It's literally not even close to being possible. But even IF it was, going into 2021 we'd have holes at DT (Suh was a 1 year deal), CB because Hughes/Hill are not good and Mack would've probably been a 1 year deal (even though there is no way he would've resigned anyways) and Logan Ryan would be 30, guard (because you wouldnt be keeping Kline around) and our QB situation would be a GIGANTIC question mark for (in your situation) 4 years running now....and we'd still have no answers currently. And like I said, that's all IF this was even possible which it 100% wouldnt have been.
So basically I think all you did was prove to everyone exactly why you arent paid to evaluate talent and put a team together.....

Soooo yeah.... that should answer all your questions.
#1 How is improving at LT, RT, LG, WR, CB X 2, DT and at RDE not making this team better in 2020? You are making your team significantly better on the Oline, Dline, and in the Secondary. Weren't those the biggest weaknesses on this team last year? Seems like I not only nailed the significant needs, but I also found guys who all either played great, or were significantly better than who we trotted out onto the field instead.
#2 How is Digg's contract massive when he is making half of what the top WR in the NFL is making per year? The guy is making really good #2 WR money and significantly less than Adam Thielen.
Basically what you did here was say the plan was bad because we would have had to spend a lot of money to make the team better instead of just on one player, Cousins, who really doesn't improve us in a significant way.
