Breaking News- Vikings Trading For Siemian

@"Purple Haze" said: Schefter reported its Simeon and a late round 2018 pick from Denver for a 2019 pick from the vikes.  Didnt say what round pick

We will have extra picks next year and Rick adds another this year.

So no drafted QB this year...

Good move, cheap experienced depth.  Wonder how long he's under contract for?

Here’s the compensation package:

backup qb is a vital part of the team.  i like the agressivness

Just gotta wonder how many guys want a Siemen under their Cousins?  Wah wahhhh

I also thought this would happen.  Figured the Vikings  needed a cheap backup with Starting experience. 

He and Sloter can bunk together and reminisce with Horseface stories! ;)

Maybe he could be a trade chip later?

If a team suffers an injury they may come calling.

Plus we got the awesome Sloter.

No worries.

I'd say the Vikings are doing pretty well.

We got the QB everyone wanted. What's more, our backup is now the Broncos starter. The Broncos starter is now our backup. And the guy that played better than any of them in the preseason? He's our 3rd QB. 

Trading for a QB rather than signing a FA means we don't affect our chances at comp picks.  We'll sign Cousins and (hopefully) a 3T, but losing 3 QBs and McKinnon still puts us on the right side of the ledger for the comp pick calculation.

This is a solid move for a young veteran with 24 starts under his belt. Suffered some shoulder injuries behind a bad Denver offensive line. I'm sure he's excited about a new start.

@"Ralphie" said: Report: Broncos fielding offers for Siemian

The Denver Post's Nicki Jhabvala reports the Broncos have been fielding trade offers for Trevor Siemian.

Siemian is expected to be shipped out via trade or release at some point this offseason after the addition of Case Keenum. GM John Elway evidently prefers not to totally give up on former first-rounder Paxton Lynch, even though Siemian has arguably shown more as an NFL player despite his seventh-round draft status. Denver may also select a passer early in April's draft.

Elway's track record on QBs is atrocious. To make matters worse, he still won't give up on Paxton Lynch. Siemian is the better QB and we got him for next to nothing. Now they're banking on a QB who's had one good year in six and a 1st round bust. And  they still have Brock Osweiler and no Kyle Sloter. It's fun being a Viking fan in Denver right now.
