Kirk has avoided injury so far in his career but at his age and trying to come back from an Achilles, this could be the start of numerous injuries for Cousins. If the Vikings are considering a contract they better damn well make sure it is team friendly going forward with incentives and little guaranteed money.

Loved Jared Allen as a pass rusher, but with all due respect to him, he's kind of a moron. Achilles injuries aren't what they were even as recently as when he played. And we're not talking about a running back here, or a receiver, or a pass rusher or a corner. We're talking about a QB for whom mobility was never his bread and butter.

right a QB who you will have to tie another $70 million into who will be even more immobile @ 37 and 38 only to have to use said repaired achilles to push off of every single pass of that $60 million.

Kirk is not taking a home town deal, he's going to be asking for $35-40 million a year and force the team to have to not add other pieces so we can ride the Cousins ride a little longer.

Jared is the not the sharpest, but he's not wrong.

Sign Kirk for 2 years. Draft a heir apparent. KOC's and KAM's job rest on the team winning games. That's why they'll resign him.

It's irrelevant, I seriously doubt there were any intentions on resigning him unless he got us to the Superbowl.There are better QB's coming in the draft and we should be able to get one.

I'm sure KC (or any other player for that matter) would appreciate Allen putting that out on Social Media.

Nothing personal? Really?

What a DB.

sorry if the truth hurts, but he's right. as we age our bodies tighten up and tend to fail, that age varies on all of us, depending on a variety of things, but the fact is that once those wheels start to fall off, they dont fix themselves, and committing money to a player in declining health is stupid. granted KC has been an ironman to date, but do you honestly think that this isnt a start of a series of age related events? how many 25 year old suffer torn achilles? from a severity standpoint, the achilles is much worse than an ACL, granted medicine if improving, but contrary to what some want to profess, at his age this isnt comparable to a sprain or other easily recoverable injury.

You have no idea if he's right or not. Aaron Rodgers is practicing after 11 weeks of surgery and he's 39 years old. Declining health? lol, he suffered any injury that guys much younger get every year in the NFL. It just happened to Jalean Phillips....he's 24 years old. So lets not act like this is some universal truth and some are just deciding to ignore it. It fits your narrative and opinion of not signing Cousins, that's more to the truth. And again, maybe that is the right way for the Vikings to move forward. We'll certainly find out.

Allen can speak his mind, just seems a bit weird. And the 'no offense, but.....' lol, ok Jared.
