This was actually a thread about Deshaun Watson. He happens to play the same position as Kirk Cousins, so it's probably natural for Kirk's name to come up in the subject of a trade. I thought it was worth discussing because of the fact that the video discusses Watson having made a "cryptic" tweet, and we just got rid of a player ourselves who used to do that. Not only that, but I'm assuming there are a lot of people out there who are shut-in these days and I wanted to contribute a topic that might give them something to do to pass the time in discussing it. VD, are you mad at me or something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VD, are you mad at me or something? mad? nah, not at all. and i certainly understand the point of discussing Watson, or any other QB, and their intended positive effect for the Vikings. and i certainly understand anyone's displeasure with Cousins. my point was not in voicing that opinion, but does it deserve its own thread, as if it's a new or unique topic of discussion? why not just make a post in any other thread where Cousins, or potential QB's, are being discussed? i mean. we have players leaving the teams, new players joining the team, but we don't have a new thread for each guy. why this time? particularly since voicing displeasure of Cousins is certainly not a new piece of news. but hey, that's just one person's opinion.

Yes, but first call Winter Park and ask if, when Twelve Pick Rick calls to trade multiple high draft picks over the next few years for Watson, you can listen in on the trade conversation on an ..... extension. cough, cough, Herrrrrrschel, cough, cough.

One of the symptoms of Bologna Virus is hallucinations that a pipe dream trade will yield a SB win for the Vikings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Buck Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 It's heating up again. Just remember who brought it up first - way back in March, 2020. Could it really happen? What would you give up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Watson is good, but he’s not good enough to replace what it would take to obtain him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 No, it's not going to happen. It'd cost a lot more than either I or the Vikings would probably want to give up. Plus, there's the whole problem of having to try to unload Kirk at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, if Watson were the one forcing his way out, with no suitable replacement on their roster, and no 1st or 2nd round pick of their own this year, you might be able to get Houston to take Cousins.

Guest Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 It's fun to imagine Watson, Jefferson, Cook, Theilen and Smith all teaming up! That would be must see TV! Yet, I agree with the other posters that cost in terms of draft picks would be huge, plus it really doesn't get the Vikings any cap savings. In other words, there would be no room left for upgrades on defense, the offensive line or depth anywhere. Now, if someone could agree to a three way QB trade...Cousins to San Francisco, Garappolo to Houston, with Watson coming to the Vikings!!! But those kind of deals NEVER happen in the NFL.
