Not feasible for us. His cap hits are $15 mil/year for the next three or four years.

Yep that’s the only reason we don’t want him ... it would be a ‘miracle’ if we signed him

Wow. This team is truly falling to pieces and I couldn't be happier. I have always hated the Vikings since all their whining and moaning over the 2009 NFCCG. They have hands down, the worst fan base I have ever dealt with online. Which is something truly special cause their team has a legacy of failure and being losers, but they act like they've got 5 SB rings and are so special.

Minnesota over-achieved in 2017 and it has shown ever since. Case Keenum had one of those fluke career years for a mediocre QB that happens from time to time, but he came crashing back down to earth in the NFCCG (And Keenum's solid play amounted to very little that year. They had to squeak out wins in low scoring games against teams they were supposed to handle easily). Despite having the #1 ranked defense and being so hyped up, they didn't lead #1 in any category like yards, sacks or turnovers.

We exposed that defense in the playoffs and lost on a fluke 'miracle'. Philly throttled them the next week since we had laid out the blueprint on how to attack that defense and proving they really weren't much to be scared of.

These clowns really thought they were one piece away from a SB. So what do they do? Overpay a mediocre QB who just pads his stats in garbage time and has a 5-22 record all time vs teams above .500. People have been arguing with me for years about Kirk Cousins. He was never that good. In this era, any QB can put up good numbers in garbage time when you're down by 3 possessions. Crappy QBs like Ryan Tannehill, Fitzpatrick and Tyrod Taylor occasionally had good games that fooled people into thinking they could become something special.

From "SB contenders" to now hoping to just make a wildcard. I wish we could get Diggs, but it would be impossible.

Minnesota is a good team with a 2-1 record, and their only loss was against GB at Lambeau, which they could've won if couple of plays went differently in the 4th quarter.

Their O-line has improved since last season especially in pass protection and their offense seems much more potent with Kubiak helping on that side and Cook running like he did in his first year before the injury.

Their defense is full of top talent and it's run by Zimmer himself, who is as good of a defensive-mind as Payton is on the offensive side of the game.

They have good WRs in Thielen and Diggs with a good TE in Rudolf and a very promising TE prospect in Irv Smith Jr.

I'm not a fan of Cousins, but he can be a really good QB, and I'm sure he'll improve with the new offense and when he gets more time with the rookie center Bradbury.

Diggs is a primadonna and wants the spotlight to be on him. Thielen has outplayed him, which is why he has been more highlighted in the first games. He has absolutely no reason to demand a trade if that is in fact what he has done.

We simply can't afford him. Draft a rookie with a high draft pick and follow the blue print that Ireland brought us. Besides, our free agent acquisitions have been suspect for years. Demario Davis is our lone exception. We need a new pro scouting department imho.

I hope #32 is high enough because we are winning the Super Bowl.

Pass.

Continue to develop your roster through the draft.

See MT, Kamara, Ramz, Armstead, Bell, Latt etc.

2-1 with wins against the Falcons and Raiders. Neither one of those teams have looked impressive at all so far this year.

If Aaron Rodgers had not regressed into a below average QB, Green Bay blows them out badly in that game. It was Rodgers crap play that kept killing drives for GB and keeping the Vikes alive in that game.

Cousins is all time 5-22 vs teams with a winning record. If his name was Matt Ryan, no one on this forum would dare defend him.

People are fooled by Cousins and have been fooled for years now cause he pads his stats in garbage time of blowout losses and will put up a great game against the trash teams on their schedule. Washington fans figured this out years ago and it don't look to have changed at all.

They're a talented team, but they were a talented team last year too. Like last year, they are going to blow out the trash teams on their schedule, and then lay down and get destroyed by the good teams. They will go 8-8 and spend another season of people arguing about how great Kirk Cousins' stats are and blaming everything else on the team.

I hate Minnesota as much as I do the 49ers though, so I enjoy their misery.
