Especially since it was not violent. If that version of events holds up, he shouldn't get suspended at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad People Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Im not saying hes innocent or not, but if this holds up, this is why you dont rush to judgement and let the legal system work itself out. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 As I see more of these charts, it's become clear to me that the Vikings truly are the Kirk Cousins of NFL teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Darren Wolfson: “I have heard that there has been chatter with Pittsburgh. I don’t sense anything is on the cusp, that it has been serious dialogue. But the Vikings have at least made an inquiry about Chase Claypool. My understanding is there’s been dialogue with Denver but I don’t know the specifics there, so I’m not ready to say yes, they’ve specifically inquired about Jerry Jeudy. Because you think about one of their tight ends that is available. You think about KJ Hamler. There’s a myriad of possibilities in play with the Broncos.” https://www.minnesotasportsfan.com/chase-claypool-vikings-steelers-trade-talks/?fbclid=IwAR04BmFe91BXV1PR5L_1L1DEZeLWMs5BBrOIoXMVckdObEUl8Iw5YAeo8nU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they feel that they can make a serious run at a championship, I would expect them to add a piece via trade. If they're content to just make the playoffs and stick to whatever development plan Kwesi and KOC have, I think they'll stand pat. They don't have the cap space to go after free agent veterans to fill every deficiency, and even if they did, I don't think there are veteran players that adequately address CB/TE/DE/DT/WR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Remember, it’s a competitive rebuild. This team doesn’t have the roster ready to push all of their chips in on this year. Kwesi would be wise to simply stay the course of his plan. If he can get a player on this team that he thinks would help, not just this year, but in 2023 as well, at a reasonable cost, then I’m sure he will. But he’s unlikely to make a move just for 2022. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t honestly know if that’s an effective strategy as long as Cousins is the starter. Not trying to bash Cousins here I’m just highly skeptical he can pull a Matthew Stafford and go on a winning playoff stretch despite no history of ever doing so. So I agree, keep future resources.

But it took just one year on a new team for Stafford. How long has Cousins been here? I realize there’s been a regime change but Cousins himself is actually playing worse than last year. There’s time to get better, but I really don’t have a ton of optimism in Cousins. Not being pessimistic either, honestly, I think we know what he is. unless Jefferson goes on a tear like Kupp last year and the defense plays remarkably better, I don’t see Cousins being that guy to get us over the hump like Stafford was for the Rams.

Cousins has been a slightly better QB than Stanford over his career until last year, and Stafford led the league in turnovers en route to the Super Bowl. I don’t buy that Cousins can’t do what Stafford did. They are basically interchangeable players. Dismissing the “new regime” because Cousins has been in MN for a long time makes no sense. I’m not advocating for taking the Rams approach necessarily, because they had the best player in the NFL in Donald on the roster as an equalizer, but the Stafford argument is a bad one.

vike daddy Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) Jordan Schultz@Schultz_Report Multiple teams in the mix for #Texans’ WR Brandin Cooks: #Rams, #Vikings, #Giants and the #Packers - as a dark horse - have reached out to Houston, sources say. Cooks, 29, has recorded six 1k-seasons with 49 TDs. I’m told if moved, he only wants to go to a contender. -------- On April 7, 2022, despite multiple trade rumors, Cooks signed a two-year contract extension with the Texans worth $39.6 million with $36 million guaranteed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandin_Cooks Edited October 29, 2022 by vike daddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
