  28 million in dead cap , plus 100 million in new money.......


I'm glad the Vikings chose not to sign up for that.

Sam Darnold $10m

Andrew Van Ginkel $10m
Jonathan Greenard $20m
Total $55.5

When you see the numbers like this, it is a little depressing as I do not see one impact player on that list, I think Kirk wins more games than this group together, but I do think they made the right choice.  I definitely would have rather signed Hunter or Wilkins than sign Greenard and Cashman who I think are both overpays and risky signings.  

We certainly got younger, but yeah, I don't see any upgrades on that list. Is Greenard/Van Ginkel better than Hunter/Wonnum? No. Is Cashman better than Hicks? No. Darnold better than Cousins? Hell no. 

So yes, while weve made moves....where are the upgrades?

It's actually 150 million from the Falcons.  50 mill signing bonus and 100 million guaranteed, at least that is the way I read the new contract.

It'll be interesting.  I prefer the sum of the whole vs signing Kirk.  It was time to reboot. 

What I really really really don't want is to give up the 2025 1st if we can avoid it.  I certainly don't want to even entertain the thought of the 2026 1st to get our rookie QB.  I'd rather take a swing with whats left at 11 then overpay.  The odds of the QB working out are about the same on all 6 of the top 6.

They could have signed Kirk and all those guys except Darnold - no problem at all.

I miss Kirko Chainz also.....but then saw what Atlanta gave him. Vikes are done paying an A+ contract for B+ work (credit Cowherd). Time to take a swing and let this guy blow the Gjallarhorn:

Draft charts say our 1st and 2nd is enough to move up to 5 if LAC will do it.  If there was a world where we trade our 2 top picks and maybe a lower pick next year instead of mortgaging the future, go for it.  I don't want to give away next years pick though. 

Staying at #11 to take JJ McPonder would be enough, but it appears as though were gonna have to trade up for him because every team now knows we starved at QB. 

Ahhhh, I see now. You are here to just shit on every, single thing. Got it. Excited to continue to hear hilarious things like 'JJ McPonder' all offseason from you. No matter what the team does, it won't be enough. Cool. 

Weren't you the guy that materialized out of nowhere mid-season when the injuries started to pile up and Cousins was out? I mean, the long timers here like Happy and others who are unhappy, if they want to bitch and complain, I'm here to listen to it. You? Not so much. 

I’ve been around since the purple thoughts board, thank you. I think Williams, Maye, or Daniels all stand at least a puncher’s chance of being a legit QBOTF. Wouldn’t complain about that at all. 

I just don’t understand the hype or hope behind JJM. He couldn't hit the broad side of a barn at the combine. Harbaugh says he’s the “best QB in the history of Michigan football” and everyone’s ready to pull their wagon up to captain hand off. 

He’s honestly the most Christian Ponder QB to come out since Christian Ponder

i think you’re about as wrong as a person can get on this.  lol. We shall see.

We can draft a QB at 11 and let him start and he will do much better than our last QB who lost 4 out of our first 5 games and barely beating the Panthers.
