vike daddy Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) It’s basically a fact that the Vikings plan and have always planned for this to be Kirk's last year in MN. This last offseason, the Vikings restructured his deal to spread his dead money hit through the 2026 season... There is no logical reason to do this if you plan to extend him after the season. I do believe Kirk will ONLY waive the no-trade clause if he already has a new contract, at a place he wants to play, and those options are quite limited. However, the one place where it would make sense is…. Atlanta. The Falcons desperately need a QB upgrade with Desmond Ridder's tendency for back-breaking mistakes. But why would Cousins want to spend the late stage of his career in Atlanta? Well... because he lives there. Kirks wife Julie is from Atlanta. The Cousins have a house in Atlanta and actually live there in the offseason. The Falcons are a “plug and play” team for him. They run an offense Kirk is familiar with and he has crossed paths with some of the staff in Atlanta. The Falcons can pay him. Despite what Kirk says, the dollars come first for him. If the Falcons offer him a 2-3 year fully GTD deal at market rate prior to the trade, Kirk has little incentive to hit the open market where he will have less choice on where he will play. https://fansided.com/posts/kirk-cousins-trade-rumors-reddit-theory-falcons?a_aid=44511&fbclid=IwAR1bZ7yg7Ky5v3KHmoYVS28rEazZQ87Eiyl-2oUGVFYQ5qFzqYHWBi3aRWg EDIT: a Google search of Cousins, his wife, and Atlanta make no mention of them owning a house there or living there in the offseason. they have a home in Rosemount, MN and also in Michigan where they purchased a golf course.

vikesfan89 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I saw a clip of Colin cowherd saying that they should trade him for a1st. He said 4 teams would be interested. He hinted at the 49ers but didn't say anything else about who would give that up at this point in the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirko himself said it took him more than half of last season to get comfortable with KOC's offense, and wait until you see this year.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't able to catch the Tampa Game, and just saw the highlights, but was our offense sputtering that game? I know JJ went off in the first half and was quiet in the second.
