What a joke.

Norwell signing is great though.

We were never gonna sign Cousins lol. That was a pipe dream

So how good is he? Was he able to take his team to the playoffs? If you make 28 million a year you better be able to carry your team at least to the playoffs.

In my opinion, Cousins is a mediocre quarterback. I never understood all this hype around him.

Just my opinion though.

Yes. A wise decision.

Yup we still have the Bortles conundrum but at least we saved 15% by switching to GEICO......

Cousins wanted too much guaranteed money.

From the perspective of a fan of an opposing NFC North team,  the pre-knee injury version of Teddy Bridgewater concerned me more than Kirk Cousins does.

Yup, if the Jags signed Cousins, a more natural thrower,, Robinson would have stayed.

Cousins signed a fully guaranteed contract.. If he is not a success the Vikings cap will be trash for the next 3 years.
We can move on from all three of these contracts after this year if we choose.

I don't regret passing on Cousins. His salary would break our cap. I want this team to be built for long term success.

They are getting pretty darn close to assembling an offense that can win with Blake Bortles behind center.

A couple more pieces (RG, TE) and they might even be able to win a few games in 2018 without leaning on the defense so much.

The Hayden signing is the only question mark for me. I like what they've done otherwise and that one may turn out fine as well. It's a lot for a nickel, but the NB is practically a starter these days.

We should have signed Cousins so we didn't have anymore money to put pieces around him!  Genius.

No... we passed on Allen Robinson and Colvin for Bortles, Norwell, Moncreif, Lee, Hayden, and the future of our salary cap (Ramsey, Jack)

That's how I see it anyway.

And really... the only stinger, imo, is Colvin. But 18 mil guaranteed is outside corner money and he wasn't getting that here. Hayden is only 9 mil, likely all in the first year and we can draft a guy like Dawson in the mid rounds to take over in the future.

Boy, we passed on signing Cousins and not having cap available to do much else. What a bunch of buffoons we've got running this team. They don't have a clue what they're doing. They should try playing a little more Madden so they can become message board GMs.

Colvin was always expected to chase a starting job outside, so there was no way we were going to re-sign him.  Hayden really is a one year deal unless he proves otherwise.

No he wouldn't have because we wouldn't have the cap space his 28 mil is fully guaranteed we had 29 mil in cap space.

Also he went to a team with Mitch Trubisky as QB so QB clearly didn't matter.

With what money would we have kept Robinson?

Cluelessness often knows no depth.

The real joke will be Minnesota kicking themselves going from 13 wins, to missing the playoffs.

So he went to play with Trubisky?

Cousins is one of the most over rated players ever and his contract proves such. He's getting paid more than Brees for God's sake!
