    Hahahanumber 1 and 2 could double their cap space and be required to spend it all, still isn’t going to help.

    Man wouldn’t you love to be Minnesota’s management team right now. Amazing results when compared to what they spent.

    GoVikings +1. I think. Hopefully they make the right QB decision.

    Papi,

    Dolphins #32. Does that mean they way overpay for the results, or the results are to be expected?

    ^ I put "OT" in the title to keep the patronizers at bay - but I guess it didn't work

    @GoVikings - displaced Broncos fan here. I have mixed feeling about the Broncos being "all in" on Cousins. Worried about tying up the cap space that will be needed to sign him. May be moot point, as some think Vikings have the inside track.

    We have the 5th pick in the draft after our crappy season, so I would be happy drafting a rookie QB and building around him a la Eagles and Rams. I like Baker Mayfield's moxie.

    Why do people assume that Cousins will be a great quarterback for a playoff contender? He looks more like Matt Stafford than Drew Brees or Tom Brady.

    Matt Stafford is pretty damn good. I don't hear anyone saying he is going to be top 5, and I'm a Redskins fan.

    Ahh, the off-season, when every team is undefeated!!

    I'm hoping this is the season Tom Brady becomes a normal 40 yo QB and falls off the cliff performance wise. Do they test for doping in the NFL? You know Brady and that wierdo trainer of his have got some shady shit going on, when it finally comes out it will probably make Lance Armstrong look like a piker.

    I think NE is probably at the end of their dynasty. I also think Pittsburgh and Dallas won’t be so strong going forward for a while, I’m rooting for the Giants as I always do, but the new season is going to bring us some new powerhouse teams. Look for Jacksonville to show some real improvement and Philly is going to be the team to beat.

    The Dolphins at #32. Does that mean they way overpay for the results, or the results are to be expected?

    Last week when I was in Cleveland I heard Baker Mayfield state the Browns are only a player or two away and he is one of those players...........I had a hard time not spitting my coffee out all over my laptop.

    “Vegas odds peg Kirk Cousins to Vikings all but certain”

    https://www.milehighreport.com/2018/3/7/…

    Vikings players following Cousins on Twitter? Yeah, it’s a done deal ;)

    Another rumor is if Denver doesn’t get Cousins, they would try to sign Case Keenum as a bridge QB
  • Papi_Chulo

    It's not like Cousins took the Redskins to any great heights, so I'm skeptical about him being worth top-$$$.

    I recall a radio interview when he was coming out of college and I was impressed with how articulate he was for a college-guy, but he seems limited in what he can do physically.

    Watch out for the 49ers @#6 with $67M cap room, assuming that factors in the new QB's $28M/year cap number. New QB got starting job with shit OL and shit WRs and led wins (granted, at home) over playoff bound Titans and Jags.

    ^^^I don’t think the 49ers are very well coached that is their downfall.

    Looks like Denver's going with Plan B: Signing Case Keenum to short-term deal, drafting a QB with 5th pick. I'm okay with it, Keenum is an upgrade to what we've had at QB since Manning retired, and we need to develop a QB for the long term. Hopefully Keenum's not a one year wonder, but more in the mold of a modern day Rich Gannon or Jeff Garcia - late bloomer than strings together 2-3 good years.

    obviously, cousins is going to cost a lot. but the vikings always seem to have an issue at QB. we never have the same guy year in and year out. this is our opportunity to get a steady QB. cousins has played at a high level for 3 straight seasons and he hasn't had any issues staying healthy.

    the NFC is tough, so even if we get cousins, it doesn't automatically mean we'll make/win superbowl.........but i like our chances a lot more with cousins........than anyone else who is available

    Looks like Cousins to Vikings is pretty much a done deal
