Yea, I was just sticking with the thread - Cine and the Safety position
Don't forget Kwesi hired O'Connell and together they established the team culture, which is one of the bright spots. Kwesi also shed mountains of salary by making tough decisions on Kendricks, Thielen, P2, Barr and Cook. I didn't agree with all of them--I would've tried harder to keep Cousins and Hunter--but the Vikings were able to replace both in the draft.
Vikings now have a much younger roster and a shit ton of cap space going into 2025, a year that should see them hand the keys to the offense over to their 1st round draft pick. I like where we stand.
But at the end of the day Kwesi will be judged by how well McCarthy does. That's all anyone will care about.
