Wilson released by Broncos

Wilson given permission by Broncos to start negotiating with other teams immediately officially starting his free agency today. I sure hope the Vikings know where they sit with Cousins if Wilson was ever a consideration as an alternate option. If so, I'd hate to lose out on him while we are in a holding pattern on Cousins

Am I the only one that doesn't want this f-ing weirdo on the team? He's a culture killer. Not only no, but hell no.

My initial reaction to Wilson is MEH.  But letting the Broncos pay over $30mm of his contract next year while giving him a chance to start in Minnesota while throwing to JJ, Hock and Addison?   While sitting at 11 and picking up a D stud and taking either Bo Nix or Penix in R2?  And having an extra $10+mm to throw at FA's?  Now that's starting to make even the most cynical side of me warm to the idea.  Not saying I'm sold on it, but I could maybe be okay with it...maybe.

I'd take Daniel Jones as a band aid guy if the Giants grab a QB early in round 1 at #6. The word is he's definitely out. He'll be 27 years old in May. Love to see what KOC and McCown could do on turning his career around. Full of talent, big kid. But I think the Giants really can't deal or cut him until after this upcoming season and then they have their out.

If Brian Daboll couldn't wring any production out of him, I highly doubt anyone else can.  Sometimes you just have to believe what you're seeing.  He's not that good.  I mean, he could easily be a back up for the rest of his career, but no franchise is going to hitch their wagon to him....or at least they shouldn't.

Odds say you are right, it doesn't happen very often. I'm not really talking about 'hitching the wagon' to him, but more as a bridge guy that might have some upside. He's played in 60 games over his career. He's been in the playoffs.

The Jones issue (amongst many) is the dead cap hit makes it almost impossible for the Giants to cut him, and his contract makes it almost impossible for any team to want to trade for him as his hits, if you retain him, are 41 and 58 million dollars in '25 and '26. There's just no way. I'd gladly take Wilson, with all his quirks, on a one year low-salary deal over taking on Jones and that contract.

Yeah, I mentioned the problematic part of his (Jones) contract in an earlier post. 

If you are willing to take Wilson, as washed as he is and basically nuts, for one year then does it really matter who you get then? Ex-teammates have bitched about the guy being a headcase. Just put any cheap POS of shit back there then and wake me up on September 1st, 2025 because this upcoming season will be garbage. There has to be a better option than Wingnut Wilson.

Well like I mentioned in an earlier post, Wilson's stats last season (even missing the last couple games) dwarfed the best season of the very guy you are advocating for as an option in Jones. Add on the salary/contract and Wilson is clearly the better option

Clearly the better option to do what? 

I wouldn't anticipate the Vikings having much if any interest in Mr. Unlimited.

It's time to quit sifting through the scraps from Longshank's table and sign Cousins or go draft the QB you want.
Those are the only two reasonable options regardless of cost!

Of course not. During Silly Season, I always find it interesting into what fan's can talk themselves into.

What would his goofy catchphrase be if he joined the Vikings?
