I can’t imagine the 4th year is very solid.  Just reading the vague tweets, it sounds like
it’s $90M guaranteed years 1 and 2 (with 50 of that as a signing bonus), and
$10M guaranteed in year 3.  So it could
be a 2 year deal $100M with a $35M dead cap after 2 years or 3 year deal (hard
to guess what year 3 would cost, maybe 132.5M) with 12.5M dead cap after year
3.

We will have a much better team with an extra 45 million a year to spend.

Would someone smarter than me please explain how the "tampering" thing works. I know all teams do it...BUT

How would the Vikings proceed? How is it verified, and what potential outcomes for the Vikings?  I always thought IF PROVEN, the team doing the "tampering" just loses a draft pick....nothing goes to the team that lost the player...

'lil help?

I think the most practical way to imagine it is that
tampering doesn’t really exist, unless you piss off the league a lot and they
want to rail you for something.


The Vikings wouldn’t pursue anything because they very
likely encouraged tampering because the alternative is that Kirk doesn’t start negotiating
with each team until today and it delays us knowing what our plans will be
until that negotiating is completed.  But
you are right that we would gain nothing from a tampering case.

"After significant and positive dialogue with Kirk and his representatives, we were unable to reach agreement on a contract that fits the short and long-term visions for both Kirk and the Minnesota Vikings. Kirk holds a special place in Vikings history, and we appreciate his leadership and contributions to the team and the Minneapolis-St. Paul community over the past six seasons. We wish him, his wife, Julie, and their children all the best.
Our approach heading into free agency always included layers of contingencies regarding the quarterback position. We are moving forward with plans that allow us to continue building a roster that can compete for a championship."
– Vikings General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah

I wonder what year they're shooting for to compete again, 2026 or 2027?  FU Cousins.

Obviously not a hit in the locker room, either.

You keep telling yourself that buddy. Ain’t gonna matter with a dog shit “bridge QB”. Front office better hope and pray we find a QB in the draft or they’re fucking done
