swede700 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 If it goes as it seems to be going and Cousins does become the starter...then what is the plan for the backup, as that is still going to be a pending question as well? I personally don't feel they could ride with Sloter as the backup at this point. So, is it draft a mid-round QB? Or is it bring in a veteran backup?

JDBrocks Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I think they need to make a run at McCown as a backup. That will give Sloter and the team another year to find out if he can be at least a backup level player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I think it’s safe to assume that the reports of Cousins getting a fully guaranteed contract are false. If Brees is only getting 52% guaranteed, no one is getting close to a fully guaranteed deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brees was never seriously entertaining offers from other teams.... so it might not be a presence for an open market Cousins contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Adam Schefter✔@AdamSchefter When free agency opens Wednesday, former Vikings’ QB Case Keenum intends to sign with the Denver Broncos, sources tell ESPN. A source with knowledge of the dynamics of the process guesses that Keenum’s deal will land in the range of $18 million to $20 million per year. Mike Klis of 9News.com says it’s expected to be a short-term deal. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/03/13/so-what-is-case-keenum-getting-in-denver/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 According to a team source, two factors solidified Denver’s pursuit of Keenum: The strong support of Broncos senior personnel adviser Gary Kubiak, and a player-friendly contract structure that is being pursued by Kirk Cousins. Kubiak gave Keenum his start in the NFL, signing him to the Houston Texans’ practice squad after he went undrafted in 2012. https://sports.yahoo.com/broncos-pick-case-keenum-leaving-battle-kirk-cousins-vikings-jets-cards-064030322.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats worse, is if it is a fully guaranteed contract. We set precedence with MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might not be better than Keenum last year, but I really doubt that he will suck. We've seen enough of him to know what the team is getting. The team is getting an average QB. He won't be great but he isn't going to stink either. He'll make some plays that makes us really scratch our heads from time to time but he will also make some really nice plays.

If reports are two that the Vikings are signing Cousins they will cancel each other out as third rounders. The Vikings still will likely have a net loss of free agents. With these two cancelling each other out the Vikings currently would be at no compensatory picks. Effectively, Cousins is costing the team a third round pick and the contract. Not sure about the value on the contract, but a third round pick for a starting QB is a very nice price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
