Florio is a douchebag. Whether he's right on this or not, I have zero idea.

I mean I'm not a fan but so much is out there. I just want it over either way.

Cousin's agent is working it. Manufacturing or exaggerating Atlanta's interest or the interest is very real. All part of the game. Its very obvious Minnesota is not going to give in and be held over a barrel again. 

I really like Cousins. But if he doesn't see the value in familiarity, a solid organization that cares about him and weapons on offense for a hometown discount (whether that's dollars or lesser guarantees....and my guess the sticking point definitely IS guarantees) than a 36 year old coming off injury should go ahead and see how green the grass is outside the fence. KAM didn't lock up Cousins yet for a reason. It wasn't negligence, stupidity or naiveté: it was strategic. 

I guarantee you Baker Mayfield and his agent are watching what is going on in Minnesota very intensely.

Oh I totally agree. At this point, I am fine with him moving on, they have to move on from him at some point. Sometimes you have to go backwards to go forward

the age doesnt frighten me, the injury at that age does...It'll be interesting in a few years to look back at Kirko and Rogers and see if we learned anything new about these injuries - at least with older QB's.

I am slowly preparing myself for having to take a big step back @ QB play in 24. I mean if they were going to have a deal, you would think it would be b4 the legal tampering period. 

I only hope this franchise's terrible history with QB's wont continue on a forward basis. I spend too much of my time and $ on season tix for that.

He has been with the Vikings a long time without even sniffing a superbowl. Perhaps he sees a better chance with another team, or maybe he cares more about money than championships. We will find out soon.

I'd be more surprised if Kirk was NOT looking for houses in Atlanta. If I were interviewing there, I would be too. But nothing has yet been offered or signed. And I really do think Kirk will give Minnesota a chance to match or beat their offer. 

Problem is, I don't see Kwesi matching it. I think Atlanta knows how incredibly rare good QBs are and they won't even blink at 3 years, while Kwesi is much more focused on his long-term financial vision.

Atlanta just makes too much sense for Kirk considering the factors, if Atlanta is really interested and not just positioning for a Fields trade, I would say it is the most likely where he ends up

Consider family has always been far and away the number one priority for Kirk, his wife is from the Atlanta area and her parents still live there, Kirk's long time trainer since 2010 is in Atlanta, Kirk's parents are in Florida, where Kirk has spent a good part of the off seasons.

I am ready to move on and ignore what Kirk is doing.

if, by chance, we can’t grab one of the top four QBs in to draft, then I say draft to rebuild the team.

People keep sayin but if all of the top four are gone, then what.  I say, screw it,and higher a short term bridge QB for 2024 (maybe 2025) and start rebuilding the house.

I am not afraid of a bad year, in fact it helps us grab the QB down the road.  Stop screwing around or we will end up in fourth place in the North behind three teams that already rebuilt
