wcblack34 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I think Cousins will be an excellent mentor, but he's been put in such an awkward situation. It's an unforced error by Falcons management. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcticNorseman Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 As of today, I'm exceptionally happy Cousins is no longer a Viking. The rhetoric from him and his camp further cement my feelings he had a lot to do with Zimmer's firing. It's apparent to me, he's a subversive character to organizations. I do appreciate some of the highlight moments he provided and that he appears cordial. He didn't win big games in the playoffs though. Behind his persona is a very calculating and selfish dude. He's done well for his family . . . Unfortunately, fans and organizations pay a steep price for his . . . Services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But go on... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 (edited) Jared Allen: "I'm glad the Vikings didn't spend $45 million per year to keep Kirk Cousins. It's nothing against Kirk Cousins, but when you're trying to rebuild an organization, I don't think a mid-30s quarterback coming off an Achilles tear is where you want to spend your money. “Oh, you can’t pay him. It’s a no-brainer. You can’t pay him. Sorry Kirk, nothing personal, but I mean, as a fan, if I’m the GM, what are you gonna have to pay him? 25, 30 million a year? Sorry, the ride’s done.” "Kudos to Kirk for going and breaking the bank with Atlanta." https://thevikingage.com/posts/jared-allen-honest-kirk-cousins-leaving-minnesota-vikings?

vike daddy Posted June 2 Author Share Posted June 2 Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter A resolution in the alleged free agent tampering cases of the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles is likely to come this week, per league sources. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 The NFL will show them that tampering is not allowed by taking away their 7th round pick for the next 3 years!! lol while I do expect a slap on the wrist for them (otherwise the major sports outlets would be talking about it) I'd be surprised if we get anything out of it.

swede700 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Nothing yet regarding the Falcons, but this result from the Eagles' situation should indicate that it's coming shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Here's the Falcon's punishment, they were found to have violated, but not having negotiated per se ahead of time. So mainly fines and a small pick docked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
