Best part of KC is all these pro bowl players want him on their team, but Viking fans who don't play the game think they know his talent and his worth or the $$$ money spent is their money.  Meanwhile most of our team is locked up and under age of 30. Sitting good for years....Football players know football players. ie. Why Harry is well respected by players/coaches, but doesn't win the popularity contest with fans.

NFL Network had a replay of last year's game of Washington vs. Brees.  At the time, NO was 7-2... and Washington was 4-5.  Washington had a pretty effective running game, helping them put up 31 points (against a defense that- at that time- was considered elite).  But Cousins also had some amazing throws that game.  If you get a chance, it's a pretty good game (if you think Cousins is the man).  I'm sure you could probably find games where KC didn't play great... but if you're looking for one to confirm your belief that he's a stud QB, you should watch it.

Well, if that's how it shakes out, I'll be behind the decision... Hate to see any of the other guys go, and Case sure deserves a lot of credit for a great year, and a shot at a starters role going forward. I hope Sam and Teddy find some good paychecks, and wish them the best. Wouldn't mind if one of them signed for a backup role here, but probably doubtful.

I would love to see Teddy stay on.  But, in addition to the possible division that might create in the locker-room, I don't think he's ready to become a FT back-up yet.

Now all they need to do is sign Pugh, Sitton, or Norwell (unlikely due to the cost).

And the cherry on top for me would be to trade for ...

I’m good with this if true. It’s a little tough because I like the three others. Sam, Case, and Teddy are really great guys. They fit the mold of players the organization likes to have around. I wish them well if none come back to the Vikings.
