SemperFeist Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) While I doubt the compensation would be the same, I could see the Browns and Vikings doing a QB swap a la Los Angeles and Detroit last year. While it would be a downgrade in terms of passer, I can’t deny that this team could use more players with Mayfield’s swagger.

We would get Mayfield and a draft pick, or do we give up the pick due to difference in age? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone has to take on that bad Mayfield option. Cousins’ contract is not actually that bad to trade for. An extension, which would also most like occur with a new team, also gives the other team a chance to lower his cap hit. A team trading for Cousins is getting a QB who has played like a top 10 QB for 3 seasons. That’s worth quite a bit. Just look at what Detroit got for Stafford. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see this trade happen just to see him meltdown. From a football perspective, meh? Have to commit to full-on rebuild if we're trading Cousins. I don't think it's completely out of the realm of possibility that Cousins is traded though but I think it's unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't view that Mayfield option as that bad...it's basically a 1-yr tryout and if he sucks, you move on. And it's still about $17M shaved off what you would have paid Cousins in total.

It’s not bad per se, but if Cleveland wants to move on from Mayfield they still would need to find a suitor, and his contract is fully guaranteed. Personally, for where the Vikings now are as a team, and as a roster, flipping Cousins for Mayfield and getting that cap relief plus maybe a day 2 pick, it seems like a win-win option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefanski sure did get a look at Kirk. The only question would be if he wants him. I actually wouldn't mind this option, but again... The new GM and HC are really going to have to discuss how bad they want Baker and his personality here as their first option at QB going into the future without a real solid back-up plan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Cardinals win and the Rams lose, then we get the Rams at home again. The Vikings will play at the winner of this Saints/Falcons game next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
