I’d rather have traded Kirk and Danielle when they had value rather than looking at top 100 free agent lists and seeing us have 2 guys in the top 5, leaving for nothing.
Spilt milk though. Sigh. Let me go dig up the Fields thread.

$45mm was my #
How the rest of it was structured or guaranteed? I dont get paid enough to figure that out.

silver lining.... the Vikings didnt get stupid and held hostage again. Yes they lose the starting QB, but they arent stuck in a bad contract for the next 4 years, its going to sting a bit, but they didnt overspend when backed into a corner, which is typically their response to losing an aging impact type player that will likely decline over the course of the deal. onto the next chapter.
“it’s gonna sting a bit”…understatement of the century
how old are you? its not like we just lost out on a guy that has delivered perennial trips to the championship game or a young stud in his prime, we are talking about a guy in the twilight of his career, demanding money and terms that will likely make him a cap hazard before the end of his deal. Yes we are likely to take a step back in play from the position, but that could have happened regardless ( look at last year ) We get it, you are upset and angry, but just dont do something foolish, the sun will come up tomorrow and the Vikings will likely still win a game or two next year, and in the end we will likely end up with a better overall roster that maybe will turn into a perennial contender.

I am going to miss all those Division titles, playoff wins, and Super Bowl appearances.
I'm glad the drama is over. We'll need to draft a QB. I honestly think we should stand pat at 11 and draft whats left. The odds of the guys drafted before 11 are basically the same as the odds of whatever is left. I really don't want to give up 1sts for 2 years with as shitty of an offense as we're likely to have.

We will be probably missing a lot of things for awhile. But now that Kirko is gone, the curmudgeon crew can go after KAM. Then KOC. And keep hammering on the Wilfs.

What has been great in the Wilf era? Keeping the team in MPLS? Favre 2009? Miracle 2017? Viking fans should be used to mediocrity.

well, as an in market fan of the team... I am pretty happy they didnt move the team, would really suck to have to pay to watch their annual trials and tribulations.
