***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

Agree. The need for so many quality starters is also why I don’t think they can throw $40 million of the salary cap at an aging QB.
Yep. I don’t think they’ll offer cousins $40m though. I wouldn’t mind seeing signing cousins to a 2 year deal for $30m or less, assuming he will agree to such a deal.

I would be shocked if the contract savvy Kirk would take $30m. Hope you’re right.

That's pretty weak. I get a lot of people don't like him but a pic of him smiling during a game as some sort of indictment is dumb.
In the end the Vikings are going to be 7-10 in a season where they lost their franchise QB to injury. Let’s see how this draft goes and if he can work something reasonable with Kirk in terms of the cap.

First draft was bad, basically got two borederline NFL starters in Ingram and Evans. Last years draft was pretty good with Addison and Pace as a UFA was good. Hiring Flores was great. Trading for Hock was a good deal, though the big deal was not, and I believed that before the injury.

I do think he’s got to have a good off-season or they need to move on. If they mortgage everything else and end up with market-setting deals for JJ and Hunter and pay Kirk market value, then they are in trouble. Basically any idiot can do that. They’d basically be back to the days of Rhodes, Barr, Hunter, Kendricks and Kirk all getting top dollar, meaning the rest of the team is constructed with duct tape and baling wire.

You’ve already paid Hock like he’s a Kittle/Gronk hybrid, and JJ is going to set the market. No way around that. Got to make some magic happen with the rest of that roster.
 
If it’s a Penix vs McCarthy national championship matchup, the Vikes will have a great opportunity to really evaluate which of the two they like, as both should be there for them.
Assuming, of course, they’re not giving Kirk the big bucks.

It'll be TX vs Bama and called the ESPN Bowl.

Having said that, I'm hoping to see Penix go from purple and gold to.......well, purple and gold.
 
lol I didn’t know this was still a thing today and thought that ship sailed. It’s possible!!!!IMG_6480.jpeg

Yep. Another blowout to end. We guaranteed last place in the division, or do we slide above the Bears if they lose?
