Then consider the bears draft picks and salary cap situation....
I dunno man, The Vikings fan in me ain't feeling all warm and fuzzy.
No way to sugar coat this. We are sooo screwed. It used to be the 49ers, Seahawks, Eagles and sometimes Bucs, Rams and Packers we had to contend with in the NFC. Now we are battling for third at best in our division and its not going to end any time soon
Top-100 picks in 2024 draft:
Packers: 5
Lions:4 \
Bears:3 (including Nos. 1 and 9 overall)
Vikings: 2
Effective cap space, per OTC:
Lions: $46M
Bears: $36.4M
Vikings: $21.5M
Packers: -$3.5M
For the fairy dusters that can't see the big picture.
And for those wallowing in gloom and self-pity, both Goff and Love are going to get new contracts after the season, so they'll soon be sitting at the big kids table with the rest of us.
And I'm not sure how valid those cap numbers are. I've seen 21M, 37M, 43M and 56M for the Vikings. Either way, ALL of the Viking numbers include a $19M 5th year hit for Jefferson, which will at minimum be cut in half, a $19M hit for the hitman, which will drop to $7M dead with a June 1 release, and a $22M hit for O'Neill which we likely won't be paying (restructure). Vikings have plenty of cap space to contend in 2024 if they choose to.

Yah, that 21.5 looks a mite lite vs what I have seen.
Last OTC I saw had the Vikings about middle of the pack capwise.
Easy to increase that substantially as you point out - if they choose to do so.

I've seen us on Spotrack listed at about 40 million cap space.

Lol what are ya'll even talking about? Goff's numbers were virtually the same as Cousins last year, and this year he was 2nd in passing yards and 4th in passing touchdowns for a Lions team that won the division. If he makes any of you look like Lamar Jackson...maybe pass your numbers along to Kwesi as we have a need at quarterback

I think he was talking about mobility.
Higbee tore his ACL on the hit from Joseph and will now be lost for most of, if not all of next season. Joseph on social media trying to say he isn't a dirty player and "he's praying for his family and wishes no ill-will." Fuck you buddy. As much as I wouldn't mind seeing the Lions continue to advance, Joseph makes them difficult to root for.
Putting it on the 49ers so far...
