Barreiro on KFAN has been having a field day with this today.

Not that there is anything wrong with that
Yes there is something inherently wrong with that, and I'm tired of pretending there's not. How is Beef supposed to hit that?

Have they kidnapped BK 1?
Maybe the FBI raided his home from all those illegal streams.
@GreenBayLA posted:Wide left!
When my wife was watching a game with me for a while, a kicker from another team missed a FG wide right. I told her that the kicker would never make it as a Viking FG kicker - he needed to miss wide left.
In other news, apparently someone is going under cover to find what happened to BK1. My advise it to take a flash light with you. It is dark under those covers. If BK1 has gone over the dark side as BK2, no Hank sightings will be possible. Just a thought.
Re: Kelswift
I like how she skipped one game since they started dating and it's because she didn't want to be anywhere near a bunch of dipshit Viking fans.
Did you hear the @Vikings are taking back the NFC North next season…it’s happening #skol pic.twitter.com/uUPaN88cyi

The vikings want Russell Wilson???
So whichever 35 year old QB they can get for under $45M.
Sounds like a (short term) plan!
Viking fans are all over any former All - Pro for the " right price" They will even take Justin Fields off the Bares hands for no more than a 6th rounder.
Read elsewhere that Cousins wants a two-year$90. Million contract
$90 million is an awful lot for a 36-year-old (Aug.), coming off a major injury, spotlight-shy, fill-in QB when they draft a new guy. They could use Wilson because their OL isn't that good and Wilson can at least escape. I don't know what kind of a mentor he would be...
@YATittle posted:Read elsewhere that Cousins wants a two-year$90. Million contract
I would consider Cousins as a temporary QB while you get a draft pick at QB going. But at that price tag? yikes no thank you.
Assuming the Vikes are going to draft their 'QB of the future', I can't imagine Wilson (or any other older vet QB) agreeing to a deal where they would likely be released in 1-2 years.
Of course, money would be the determining factor, but it will take a helluva lot more than $30M.
Doesn’t Russ get 39 mil from the Broncos no matter what
I think Vegas will pay Cousins what he wants and Adams already seems to. BE lobbying for him.
In the link that mrtundra posted above, it was reported there's a salary 'offset' in Wilson's contract.
In theory, the Vikes could sign Wilson for $1.2M, but they have to assume the approximately $28M dead cap hit from the Broncos.
The most Viking thing to do is trade Kirk back to Washington for the #2 pick. And pick up a large chunk of his salary to boot.
LMFAO ....you think WashLincoln would give up #2 for Kark?!?
Stranger things have happened. Like Mike Ditka trading.

Can the Vikings trade a Free Agent?
I guess it would have to be a sign and trade.
Look for the vikings to move up the board, in an attempt to get the QB they want. Also, look to see if they get that pick in on time. Trading away their draft picks, to move up and then being late with the selection, would also be very viking-like.
Word is that if Purdy doesn’t win the Super Bowl Shannahan will sign Cousins.
There have been rumors about Shannahan wanting to get Cousins since early this season. I think it popped up more when Purdy was having a rough patch.

Cousins is a better QB than Purdy, but not if you end up paying Cousins 45 million and Purdy 1 million.
Would you rather have Cousins or Purdy, McCaffrey, and Samuel? The cap hit is about equivalent.

The ownership currently in place in Washington is NOT Ditka in New Orleans.
...and SF for better or worse....even losing the Super Bowl is sticking with Purdy at least until his contract ends

Cousins may be better but may not get SF any further than Mr. Irrelevant. Purdy had a very good year considering where the team is. His shortcomings were put under the lights vs. GB and DET. Yet he pulled both games out in the end. Though they have different levels of ability, Cousins can also get his team a lot of wins during the regular season but has a long track record of flopping under the brightest lights. SF would surely surround Cousins with the most talent he's ever had around him if they push everyone's salary out a couple years.
Part of me thinks Shannahan would do about anything to get his team a ring. Another part thinks he may be arrogant enough to keep showing everyone how the QB isn't as important as his system and playcalling are.
I also think SF hangs in there with Purdy until his contract is up. The question then becomes if you keep him what is he worth? He certainly isn't worth Burrow or Mahomes money either even though I would be very happy if they did so it screws up their cap. IMHO for Purdy it all hinges on the Super Bowl. If he pulls it out perhaps he gets a big pay day if not? well I think they very well could move on from him.

Purdy has FOUR TIMES the number of career playoff wins as Cousins. Think about that.
There is no way Shanahan wants Cousins. Purdy has had some ups and downs but he has been clutch in ways Cousins never has.

It is absolutely asinine to me that you got a young QB who got you to the SB, and probably would have last year as well if he didn't get injured, and people are still like "well if he doesn't win it then they should move on from him".
Are people this stupid? If he happened to be the 1st overall pick in the draft would *anyone* be saying this? Of course not. They'd be putting him up there with Burrow and Mahomes. But because he happened to be picked in the 7th round people expect him to win Super Bowls his first two years in the league or he isn't any good.
Get out of here with that shit.
There is no way Purdy is considered in the same zip code as Burrows and Mahomes if he was simply drafted earlier. Use your eyes. He's small, doesn't have a big arm and puts a lot of balls on defenders when pressured. He has intangibles in spades but you have to be surrounded by elite talent to mask your physical shortcomings. That's what he has. As MP pointed out, once SF has to start paying him and or the 8 all-pro players currently on their roster, that talent will start to get whittled away by the cap. Can he overcome other players' shortcomings the way a better QB could? Hasn't looked like it so far.
Cam Newton is not a fan of Purdy.

Purdy has been outstanding, but in many respects he does some similar things to what Cousins does. That's not a criticism - Cousins does a lot of things well. He reads defenses well, he is very accurate, and hits guys in stride. There is a skill in being an accurate thrower and guys like Cousins, Goff, and Purdy. Not everyone can do it, and sometimes we minimize the skills of "game managers." Having said that, there is a gigantic difference in terms of what the ceiling of guys like Mahomes, Allen, Herbert, and Rodgers is versus guys like Jared Goff, Purdy, or Cousins. The latter group can't make all the throws the former guys can because they lack the arm talent and strength. Of course, there are plenty of guys who are capable of making all the throws who struggle to make the correct throw and end up as busts (Carson Wentz, Jeff George, etc.). You'd rather have Purdy over them.
The biggest criticism of Cousins is that he's the king of the check down. Purdy is throwing a lot of check downs, too. He just throws them to Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey who break a lot of tackles to get first downs. Aiyuk bailed him out on a couple of poor throws over the middle of the field against the Packers and Savage went back to being Savage again and dropped a terrible pass in the first half of the playoff game. Purdy also had a horseshoe up his ass on the pass he threw directly into the safety's hands that bounced off his helmet into Aiyuck's arms for the 50 yard completion. He could throw that same pass 100 times and that may not happen again.
The comparison I used earlier this week was Rich Gannon. Gannon won an MVP throwing to Jerry Rice and Tim Brown. He could read defenses and run enough to take advantage of all the pass rushers getting behind him when he stepped up in the pocket.
Maybe the Niners skill position players get so open on Super Bowl Sunday, and the Niners Hall of Fame LT shuts down Chris Jones and gives Purdy enough time to hit them when they are open all day. Purdy is a very good QB in that if he has time he will make the proper play most of the time and there are a lot of guys that are never able to do that even with better athleticism. The difference between him and the truly elite guys is that when things aren't perfect and Chris Jones is bearing down on you, or your WR or TE has a very small bit of separation, they will still make the play more often than not. Look at the Lions game last week. Reynolds had a terrible drop on that 4th down, but the throw was a bit off-target because Goff had to shift his feet and, when he does, he becomes less accurate. Goff missed a wide open guy in the end zone at the end of the first half for the same reason. Matthew Stafford makes those plays 99 times out of 100, which is why the Rams traded Goff and a crap ton of other assets to replace Goff with him - even though Goff is still a very good QB.
