Cousins benched and the Penix era begins.

Well, what do they have to lose?

We dodged one there. I’m so glad we finally didn’t allow him to hold us for ransom. He may be a good guy, but he never gave the Vikings any room to address other weaknesses and thus was a less than ideal teammate. See ya Kirk. You will be able to laugh all the way to the bank.

... more money

Hows that? They owe what they owe, regardless of who is their starting QB.

Hind sight is always 20/20 and I don't think Kwesi and KOC were ever serious about resigning KC, but holy hell they avoided a major land mine by letting him walk.

The Vikings 2024, 2025 and 2026 season would've have been nuked. Cap hell would've ensued due to dead cap hit (28 mil )AND the new 100mil guaranteed
contract

Vikings saw this was coming and Atlanta figured it out in the 4 weeks between when they signed him and then surprised everyone and drafted Penix.

Atlanta still has to send him packing and that's gonna be costly.

Giants is a good game to start Penix. Falcons needed to do something.

I wouldn't be in a big hurry to move him, if he can heal up for another 6 months and come back better next fall, they may get some buyers.

So are we signing him to a vet minimum? I hear KOC whispers to QBs in need of a new home.

essentially they are paying for someone who isn't playing
