Update: Vikings will not tag Keenum, he'll be allowed to pursue free agency per multiple sources.
Going to be interesting.
Per my landscaping guy who's a Steelers fan: Vikings best option is Bradford.
I think the only thing this means for certain is that the Vikings don't think Keenum is worth 23M a year. So the Vikings are 1 for 1 so far in this tangled mess of decisions. So far, so good...
Agreed. I don't think this necessarily precludes Minnesota from resigning Keenum, but no way he's worth $23 mill per year. In any scenario, Teddy is going to be the most inexpensive option. It very well could be they find out what Cousins is being offered, realize its more than they are comfortable with and have TB as their fall-back option. I'd be surprised if someone goes apeshit on an offer for Case in FA, but who knows?

i doubt he knows anything tbh
lol, agreed. I was actually goofing around about the landscaper dude, but he did just tell me that about 30 minutes ago. The Steelers have won 6 Superbowls, what do they know about our pain? 
well he may be only a landscaper to you... but based on past information.... he has a shot at a front office job with the browns as a player consultant.
Hehis agent could be playing the Viking mutual interest angle to squeeze more from others too.
When can the signings begin?
We all love Bradford's arm talent, but he can't move and create plays like Case can when things break down. Teddy could also do that prior to his injury but the jury is still out on his knee.
So what does all of that have to do with our QB decision? All of those guys are good enough to get us into the playoffs with the talent we have on offense, and our solid defense. Bradford has the arm talent, but I don't think he has the "it" factor needed to win a Super Bowl, and his lack of mobility is a major concern. Teddy and Case have the charisma and the mental "it" factor to be Super Bowl winning QB's, but their arm talent, lack of consistency, etc. are well documented. I think Cousins has the best combination of Leadership, mobility, and arm talent compared to the other three. That will come at a hefty price, but if we can make it work and still sign our Stars to extensions, I'm all in.
Listening to Denver talk radio at lunch and they're pretty much on suicide watch after this news. Jumping to a lot of conclusions in my opinion, but their thought is that if the Vikings aren't going to tag Keenum, it means they're definitely going after Cousins and there is no way the Broncos can compete with the Vikings in terms of supporting cast.

Lol. From what I know, Denver is very much still in the picture. Everyone is also connecting the dots that this means the Vikings are all-in on Cousins. Will they explore it, yes. But this front office has shown time and time again to set a price on players and refuse to exceed it. Not placing the tag on Keenum is showing they won't set the floor for a long-term extension at $23M. If someone else wants to give him that, great. But the door isn't completely shut. From the Bridgewater/Bradford side of things what motivation do you have to work on an extension with MN if Keenum is already on the tag. The timing of this "leak" is key since all negotiations are going to happen this upcoming week.

denver has more to offer than just a supporting cast....maybe kirk likes himself some recreational herb...
do you think players in states that allow pot are more likely to get randomly tested than non pot friendly states? or how about players that just had a road game in those states? seems like entrapment to me... :p

This makes no sense to me.
It is an NFL band substance. Same as the others on the long list of NFL band substances.
I'm sure Star caps are legal in most states.

the league is looking to back it off the list or at least reduce the enforcement in some way. and I am just clowning a bit hence the smiley with the tongue sticking out.
