Cousins to Vikings (Adam Caplan confirms)

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.

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 ...

Tyrann Mathieu

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.

i love you teddy, thanks for a great ride case, too bad for the knee bradpool. but its time to start a new ride with captain kirk with the established roster. plus we will probably GET a few picks by giving up the 3. 

as geoff has said, itll be established to keep our core together, rick will have to draft well, plus we can still grab a few teir 2 guys and try hard for 3 or so years.

so i agree with Wet...

BOOM.

No offense to OP or anyone else...I'll believe it when Adam Sheftie says it's so!

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.

I don't know if it's true or not... but IF it turns out to be true (and Cousins becomes our QB)... I only have one request (in addition to winning a few Super Bowls):
PLEASE: no memes about "Captain Kirk" (and the Viking ship Enterprise).  I'm a Star Wars nerd... and I do NOT want anything to do with the inferior Star Trek series.   :#

Much love to Teddy, Case and Sam. If this is true, this speaks to the commitment of Kirk. Seriously he would still get paid but it doesn't handicap the team. That is the best case scenario. 

If the front office is for it then I am also.  27 mill would be a good number.  I hope they are set at the position for years to come.

So many questions to be answered yet.  Who gets a starting gig and where, do the Vikes try to keep any of the 3 or draft some talent?

Sam as a backup here?  Extend his career and with the Vikings luck he is going to see the field.

Case to Denver and a Vikings Broncos superbowl? lol

I wonder if they see Sloter as a viable backup yet.  

Hoping Teddy gets a good chance to start and tears it up.

I love Teddy, Sam, and Case.  I wish them the best.

Hey.  Cousins is A Great Guy, and fits the team like a glove.

It's a slam dunk FA move.

I hope The Vikes can keep McKinnon to be Kirk's Chris Thompson, and I hope they can find him a Jordan Reed type target too.

So he’s not going to visit Denver or the Jets? So not every interested team is in play? I think maybe someone has been less than honest the past few days.

It's called negotiation. Give me what I want or I'm going to visit all interested teams.
