RpMc Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 19 minutes ago, SemperFeist said: If Cousins remains with the Vikings, I’d bet it’ll be close to a 2 year deal for $75M. Which is what Aaron Rodgers renegotiated his contract to with the Jets. This would be something that I'd have to balk at unless part of the makeup involved per game roster bonuses. Half of those would be deemed NLTBE incentives and give us some cap relief. He's already on the books next year for $28.5M whether he's on the team or not; I'll admit that I'm rusty on my capology and don't know if void years can be incorporated back into an extension or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that if Cousins were to sign an extension, the $28.5 dead money left on the void years would be spread over the life of the new deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Sounds like hall could be the backup 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I appreciate what Dobbs was able to do for us. He probably played 3 games too many, but he at least kept our playoff hunt alive with key wins. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Seifert@SeifertESPN Kevin O'Connell said he hasn't decided yet whether Josh Dobbs or Jaren Hall will be the No. 2 behind Nick Mullens on Saturday. Both will be in uniform, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted December 13, 2023 Author Share Posted December 13, 2023 Mullens hasn’t started a game since 2021 when he was with Cleveland. He started eight games for San Francisco in 2018 and another eight games for the club in 2020. Having entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Miss, Mullens has compiled a 5-12 record as a starter. He’s completed 65.4 percent of his career passes for 5,168 yards with 27 touchdowns and 23 interceptions. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/vikings-name-nick-mullens-starting-qb-for-week-15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably played 3 games too many, but he at least kept our playoff hunt alive with key wins. I agree with this. Dobbs played in what should've been an impossible to win situation. And, he led the Vikings to two crucial victories. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's helpful if true 2. QB KIRK COUSINS, MINNESOTA VIKINGS An ill-timed torn Achilles derailed another strong season from Cousins, and he looked set to have a host of suitors in free agency, as he did back in 2018. Cousins still has the requisite arm strength to throw to all levels of the field and has been as accurate as ever in recent seasons. Top free agent comparison: Philip Rivers, 2020 Player Clean pocket grade 1st & 2nd down grade Standard dropback grade Sack rate APY as % of Cap at signing Kirk Cousins 91.1 89.1 90.3 5.9% Philip Rivers 91.2 89.0 87.3 5.5% 12.6% *All data in tables reflects two years prior to UFA contract signing Contract Projection: Two years, $60 million ($30 million per year), $37.5 million total guaranteed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted December 13, 2023 Author Share Posted December 13, 2023 In the If Wishes Were Fishes category... Should we have pursued Joe Flacco? Would he have been more Cousins-like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would he have been more Cousins-like? Flacco was done as an effective full-time starter by the time 2018 rolled around. He's a competent backup at best...and 3 yrs older than Kirk.
