It certainly didnt help their cause....
It's also common sense time.
There's a 27 year old Pro Bowl QB about to hit the FA mkt in a rich league very much in need of QB's.
All it takes is two teams interested and the mkt takes off. I would bet some serious coin 2 franchises will be interested enough to make some substantial offers.

But will the Vikings even apply the tag? I sure hope so but I have my doubts. And does that tag price go up now that the salary cap has been increased by $25M?

The tag window is open as of a couple of days ago and the 2025 values are set:
Non-exclusive QB is $41,325,000
Transition is $35,267,000
There is also an exclusive tag but the value can't be calculated until restricted free agency ends. Then it's the average of the top 5 QBs, who right now all make over 50 mil.
What's crazy is those guys are Prescott, Burrow, Love, Lawrence, and Tua. I wouldn't pay that kinda money for any of them other than Burrow.
