I mean, you are well aware of all their QB misses, right?
@"JustinTime18™" said:does anybody intend to sign with the Vikings... I mean anybody but our kicker?Washington Pro-Bowl guard Brandon Scherff intends to sign with the Jacksonville Jaguars, per source.

QB misses (draft pick or FA's) for both are fairly similar. But they have had a lot more high pick QB misses than us until now and the results are probably at least a 3+ window of real SB contention and maybe even more (5-10yr window with a franchise QB and a young roster). They certainly have swung more than us and it only takes the one hit to give you possibly a decade of real contention. Contention for SB's not wild card spots.Yea their misses are similar to ours with more draft misses but now they hit. Can't hit unless you swing! The extension of Kirk pretty much takes us out of taking a swing this draft and certainly has taken us out of taking a swing for a first round QB for the previous 4 years. Every single draft pick is a huge risk with 0 guarantee but clearly QB is the one and only that when you hit you can be set for a decade plus.
Opps. Thought we targeted him.
Vikings are at .25M overthecap with the Joseph RFA tender.
They need to make some moves to get any money to sign any free agents.
Kwesi is playing chess!

We did but he is pretty dodgy for a big man. Always was a great dodge ball player in high school and college.

I mean, you are well aware of all their QB misses, right?Yup and they've also been to three Super Bowls since '76 and hit on Burrow because they had the opportunity to do so. We haven't sniffed a Super Bowl or had a chance to draft a franchise QB that high, pretty much ever because we are stuck in mediocrity and continuously thinking we are only a piece or two away when we never are and now that cycle continues with another big money, short extension for Cousins. Good for those sad sack Bengals

Send me an urgent message when we get under so I can go to Spotrac and use the "fire sale" filter on current FA's.
i dont think anyone expected us to be big FA players this year.
This ownership does not have tank in their DNA, and I agree with them.
Most important position addressed, leaving all options open for the draft. Stand pat with O.
Keep your good D players, ( except maybe Pierce and Barr). draft a Day 1 starter in Round 1 or 2 for the D and fill in the rest with last years rooks and 2nd tier FA’s.
If you end up taking Willis, Outscore people and let him develop for two years.

if they dont hit FA then that extension for Cousins is a waste of money. They cant wait for the draft and hope to fill the countless holes this roster has.
