Cousins to Vikings rumor
- Thread starter CTTB78
- Start date
Charley Walter's guess today was that Keenum will sign at about half the cost of Cousins. Keenum's estimated numbers are $45 million for 3 years.
I can see the argument for keeping money to re-sign the defensive guys coming up for new contracts.
But-- the Vikings have never won it. The position has been an issue since Culpepper. The window may be small for them to win it all. My vote would be to sign Cousins and go for it with the team they have now.
Because there is zero chance we win the super bowl with Keenum. Zero.
Even with Cousins, Vegas would still have the Vikes behind Philly and NE. With him, however, they might move up to third place ahead of the Steelers.
Or, the Vikes draft their secret weapon, Joel Lanning, and he takes out the whiner again on a viscoius third down hit.
Ian Rappaport just said Cousins has a visit set with the Vikings.
Said the deal out there is 3 years at $28 million per year.

How much up front? How much guaranteed for injury and fully guaranteed? The devil is in the details with NFL contracts.

Wow. Vikings are going for it all next season.
Rappaport said the deal isn't done just yet so I don't think those details are available.
Everyone has been saying that it will be a fully guaranteed deal though.
Minor correction, they are going for it all over the next two to three years. This definitely givens then a defined window with how much tighter the cap will be for them now and the players that start needing to be resigned next year and the year after.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they pay out something like 23 million last year for Bradford, Bridgewater and Keenum combined? Keenum was a steal since he only had a one year, 2 million dollar contract.
Paying Cousins, who is proven and healthy, 28 million doesn't seem like that big of a leap to me.

Agree. Cousins is very much worth it in my opinion.
