CriminalMind Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) 1 hour ago, SemperFeist said: It does because now it’s not going to come down to money available. We saw the Vikings miss out on players and lose players over the past couple of seasons because they simply didn’t have enough money available to compete for those players. That’s no longer the case. Yes, other teams may be able to sign more players because they have more money available to them. But if the Vikings are setting their sights on one or two key players, they have more than enough to available to make the deciding factor about things other than money. The way I see it when more teams have the ability to offer big $ to the top free agents, some other factors factor into the decision of the player, like ability to win and whose your QB, when the money is similar. If you’re in a state with “high tax” that’s other notch against you if your offering similar money to a “low tax” state. so right now, we have no QB and lower win ability. I’m not holding much hope of getting any cream of the crop free agent at the moment Edited February 23 by CriminalMind Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd have to pick up the option. That isn't the salary he'd get this season, that'd be the salary he'd get in 2025. When they don't pick it up, he becomes a free agent after this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWG VIKE Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I wonder how many offseason plans got tossed out the window with this increase in cap. I would think this definitely effects the Cousins conversations internally and generally moves the needle closer to a reunion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 The increase in cap isn’t likely going to affect the Cousins decision because, from all reports, it’s never been an issue of money. It’s an issue of commitment. More money available isn’t going to change the Vikings thoughts on commitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) Imagine the difference in reaction if Kirk Cousins were to sign another 3 year, $84M contract. In the span of 6 years, we’d see it go from “outrageous” to “unbelievable bargain”. While he could also sign a 2 year, $84M contract, and the reaction will mostly be neutral.
