I think the Vikings realized they wouldn't be able to re-sign Yannick given the state of the team and the fact that he was going to be a FA after the season. He was probably our most valuable asset that the Vikings would actually consider trading.
I'm not sure what the long game is... but I hope it involves getting rid of Kirk and drafting a QB early. We need to start over and find ourselves a franchise QB. I feel like some of our OL issues would be solved with a more mobile QB. Nice thing is... all three of the top QBs in this coming draft are plenty mobile.
There's a long game? All off-season it was we're gonna win now, extension extension trade, go directly to cap hell, do not pass go do not collect $200. Now it's whoops, fire sale?
The best part of Spielman's meandering press interview yesterday, aside from the hilarious assertion that they are still "competing" for the division or maybe a participation trophy, was the mention that he speaks to the Wilfs every day and they are very supportive.
How reassuring to know that ownership has faith in a guy who's had the job umpteen years and is stepping in shit up to his neck right now. I'm sure we're in for a marvelous future.
