Cearbhall Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 It should be possible to trade Cousins. The question, IMO, is how much of his salary they'll have to eat in order to do it and what kind of pick they get for him. That would depend on how he performs between now and then.

Do we trust Spielman to take a QB if the Vikings are in that position? I haven't trusted any person in the Vikings organization to draft a QB in my lifetime. The most gotten out of any of them was Culpepper and even that was littered with issues as they only got a few years out of him. So, do I trust Spielman? Not any more or any less than any others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best you could hope for is a Alex Smith-type trade...and I'm not sure even that could happen, since even Alex Smith is far more consistent than Kirk.

If the team drafts a first round QB any trade that gets Cousins off the books is a good trade for the Vikings IMO. It is better than cutting him and eating the guaranteed salaries. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the question was more about whether they would take aQB with Cousins in the roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnesota needs to take a chance if available a new frachise QB. As a franchise we deserve him.

They did pull the trigger. Trent Williams basically vetoed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy we have a young DE to pair with Hunter. Williams for 3 to 4 years would been really nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CriminalMind Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Draft a QB with the top pick and possibly sit him behind Cousins for a year or half a year. Trade Cousins at the conclusion of that 1st rookie season Edited September 23, 2020 by CriminalMind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Rivers had already moved on when they drafted his replacement but i agree that they should be looking to draft a QB if they are picking that high. Possibly even if they are picking lower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
