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...

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.
OK - Thanks - Yeah I was reading people saying we would get "draft compensation" and I didn't think so.

As someone who’s been okay with moving off Kirk for a couple years now, I gotta admit I’d hoped we’d have someone with a pulse waiting in the wings when it finally happened. Don’t think this current situation is what even the most ardent Kirk detractors would have wanted. Ugh. I agree. Sad day.
The only silver lining is that this isn’t a series finale. Just a cliffhanger of an episode. Let’s see what happens.

This season is toast. You won't replace what Cousins meant to the team on the field or in the locker room in 2024. The only reason for any amount of optimism is hit it big with a rookie QB that will be the face of the franchise for the next 10+ years. Good luck with that, its only what every single team in the NFL wants.

No worries, we have Viking luck... Oh wait... Shit!
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

Was reading on Reddit, the Vikings were encouraging the tampering at the combine because they wanted an answer.
At some point, you have to move on. Would you rather have Cousins for 4 years/180 million?
