Kirk for 2027 3rd Round Pick -

Observation #5 - Kirk Cousins returns to the MIN: Had he stayed in MIN 3 season ago, the cap hit would have been $50M a year and your defense would still be poor. Now he comes back with a friendlier cap number. pic.twitter.com/2xq3bjTeAB

Observation #6 - Kirk Cousins returns to the MIN: This was a job-saving move by KOC, as had he failed to reach the playoffs, he was surely gone. A panic move? yes and no. Vikes had to pay a premium for Kirk, but a good calculated risk. pic.twitter.com/Ef4QzEV4II

Observation #7 - Kirk Cousins returns to the MIN: This move will polish the turd that KOC trotted out at the QB position the last 2 years. But, Kirk is 38 (39 in Aug) and it is a temporary fix - now a high draft choice must be used to get another QB of the future. pic.twitter.com/EN0ST4zPAz

Observation #8 - Kirk Cousins returns to the MIN: It has been 3 years since Cousins tore his Achilles at Lambeau. Once you age and tear an achilles once, the other could go too - just a risk with older players. pic.twitter.com/dO1XHGlx5v

Observation #9 - Kirk Cousins returns to the MIN: That Achilles Kirk tore in GB in 2023? All I recall his him refusing to go into the locker room and instead, stayed on a medical cart to cheer on his team. How do you not like that? Or, "how do you Vike that?" pic.twitter.com/02CBfzEHq5

Observation #10 - Kirk Cousins returns to the MIN: Kirk will throw some INTs, but he will throw & can make all the throws. Status quo at the position might have meant an 8-9 finish-Now, you ask him to win 4, get in the playoffs & see the difference a great D is in the playoffs. pic.twitter.com/R0YahTLfir

With Kirk Cousins, the Vikings are the #1 team in NFL. They have one of the greatest defenses ever assembled and they are now going from bottom-40 QB play to top-10 pic.twitter.com/muPcFcQBNP

I'm extremely surprised that LV didn't get our 2nd, or at least Philadelphia's 3rd that we own. Nolan Teasley masterclass

So if we are doing the math we let Cousins go so we could draft our QB of the future -

• Used a 1st, 4th and 5th to draft JJM

• Then 3 years later used a 3rd to bring Kirk back

So a 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th to end up back in the same place!
