BREAKING: Vikings trade for QB Nick Mullens

Now we sit back and wait for Mannion's name to appear on the waiver wire...

*crosses fingers*

What are you fondest memories of the Sean Mannion in Purple era?   Mine was that one time he completed a pass for a first down.  I still remember it well...

Let this sink in.  He's made north of $3M being the steaming pile he is. 

Hmm now that I think about it, the upside to Mullens is he might go .500, which is the same as Kirk who always goes .500.   So confused now... :'(

Great pick up.  Probably the best #2 option we could have brought in.  This team can win games with him at QB vs what we currently have or Bortles, Rudolph, etc. 

I like this kid, he has a live arm, good mobility, he's a gamer.  Great trade.

He's never played with this level of talent around him so, he could be a winner if called upon. 

Excellent news, now please let Mannion go...PLEASE 

Sean Mannion -- soon to be assistant QB coach and Cousins whisperer.

He broke most of Favre's records at Southern Miss. Now he'll follow in his footsteps here to lead us to the Championship game just to overthrow JJ and get picked while en route for the game winning FG that Joseph probably would have hooked wide left.

Agree....that would be a good use of his...well, whatever it is he has. 

A '24 7th isn't even the proverbial bag of chips.  It's a chip.  One of the burnt, broken in half ones in the bottom of the bag. Nice move Kwesi. 

You just know that if Cousins stays healthy all year some schmuck in spring 2024 is going to bitch about that missing 7th like it was the Bradford trade  :p

If we had any good sleuths here, we might have seen this one coming:

Originally an undrafted free agent by San Francisco in 2017, when Vikings General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah was in the 49ers front office, Mullens started 16 games in three seasons there.

Adofo-Mensah's Browns also signed Mullens in the middle of last season, and he started one game.

Is he KAM's special project?   I can see why, he has a lot of tools to be successful.  I feel much better about the season because I have a feeling Kook is going to get covid again.
