SemperFeist Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Sounds like we should know by tonight. My take hasn’t changed much. From the Vikings side, they have their final offer on the table, and want a decision from Cousins so that they can proceed with their offseason plan. From Cousins’ side, it sounds like he wants to stay in Minnesota, but Atlanta is willing to give him the contract structure that he wants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cousins makes the choice (and at least he's doing it early) and both teams can move on with their Plan A or Plan B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't he explore free agency and still sign back with the Vikings? He's not technically supposed to know what other teams are offering 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn’t take it, they’ll move forward without him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOC did say that he earned the right to become a free agent so it sounded like they expected him to talk to some other teams back then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk can't afford to snooze and lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikesfan89 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Will the Vikings move quick on a veteran QB if Kirk leaves or will they let the dust settle and pick from the left overs to try to save money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWG VIKE Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Kirk is just finishing up cake at his sons bday party before breaking the news, the good dad that he is not taking away from his sons day. There is a video of him on twitter walking an elevated tight rope. Interesting choice for a man months removed from surgery, he must know something we don't. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
