There is one other option, and you guys might not like it.  It is something we could probably afford with our salary cap situation.  We need a QB who is a real man and a true leader of men.  A guy whose passing isn't as pretty as that of Kirk Cousins, but a guy who doesn't fold in high pressure situations.  In fact, he is a guy who rises to the occasion when the chips are down...

Yes ladies and gentlemen, maybe its:

Unfortunately, there is that other elephant that continues to lurk in the other room:

This is the 4th and 3. How do you not take a shot at Diggs here? Even if it's accurate to Thielen, there is a good chance he is stopped short. 

After seeing some of the cut ups today, I would have a really hard time playing receiver for Cousins if I was Thielen or Diggs. Just brutal man

Ignore the first video. I didn't realize that was attached to it.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but couldn’t Kirk waive his no trade clause if Minnesota found a trade partner? I know it will not happen, but I thought that was a possibility. 

Regardless, a first round QB is a must next year. There will be a QB that slips because there always is, due to certain question marks. Happens every year. Teddy, Watson, Lamar, Rosen, Rodgers, Wilson, Mahomes, & Haskins all slipped a little further than originally projected. There’s a few guys this year that could slip. 

But if MIN has to trade up into the top 5 for someone like Tua, I’m 100% on board. A guy I’m kind of interested in is Jalen Hurts and he could slip. A year on the bench and he could be an exciting/mobile QB to put into an offense with Diggs, Thielen, Bisi, Dalvin, and Irv. We will still have a defense that’s solid for the foreseeable future. Just need to find a QB.

100% he could.

It would take him waving the clause, plus Cousins liking where he is going, plus Vikings eating 70% of the remaining gaureenteed salary, and Vikings accepting a low return

Likely Rick could submit his own walking papers after this one.

I don’t see how Rick can keep his job after the Bradford trade and the Cousins contract. I don’t know how else to evaluate the GM, I don’t think it’s fair to just looks at wins and losses but when you use 3 first round picks on QBs in 8-9 years and sign a QB to a fully guaranteed deal, and still can’t find the right one, something isn’t working.
