This is where being a 14 win team and receiving A+ grades on ownership, coaching, locker room and treatment of families comes in handy.

Agreed. I don't understand fans who downplay the importance of building a winning culture.

Nobody is downplaying. Every year FAs sign where they get the most money....then they all say how wonderful the culture is. I think the Vikings have an excellent culture, one of the NFL's best. But who's going to take less money? Very few in actuality. Careers are short in the NFL.

I don't think it even needs to be said that money is the leading factor. But when it comes to deciding between two teams with similar offers, which is often the case, culture plays a part.

Try explaining the veteran quarterback market in just one sentence right now. It’s impossible.

Location too...

Sometimes you're just a West Coast guy, or South Beach or most comfortable in the Midwest to raise that family

Rumor mill is very hot on Rodgers to Pittsburgh and Darnold to Seattle 45 mil/yr.

Talking heads last week: "There's no market for Sam, he's headed back to the Vikings."
Talking heads this week: "Several teams are bidding for Sam."
Talking heads next week: "Keep believing our bullshit, please."
