It'll be interesting to see their plan for QB2. Please tell me they've got a plan.

I am surprised we have been able to keep him over the years.
He's gotta be nearing the time he wants to retire...Wonder who the backfill is???
32 years in the NFL and 26 years with the Vikings.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

I would guess as of now he would be pretty close. He has been so good for so long, I figured he would have taken a spot at some point.
His wiki page says he is known by staff as "Rob Zombie" because he is quiet, calm and measured.

Not to be a Debbie Downer or a critic of Brez, but if you click "2026" tab our cap liabilities go up $50M for 2026 and we're $10M over the cap.
I know most of the unused cap space of 2025 rolls over to 2026 but it looks like we're going all in now. I like it.

The contracts are structured as such this year. I don't see 2026 being a big issue.
I'm sure we'll spend quite a bit more, but a little cap space could come in handy in September and October.
O’Neil has a cap number north of $26 this year. $23 next year. At some point he gets restructured big time.

Maybe we’re saving space so we can trade for Justin Herbert :P

Justin grew up a Chargers fan and all the other teams know it, they track that stuff.
He would be an unhappy camper
If he is traded at this point in his career

As far as sports radio jocks go, he was more intelligent about his topics than most. But now he's part of the TV game on FOX Sports and he knows that this is a ridiculous take. But he said it anyway. Nobody would trade Justin Herbert. KC sports talk radio was red hot when I lived there. Another guy, Kevin Keitzman, was on 810 AM and was also very good.
Maybe we’re saving space so we can trade for Justin Herbert :P

This assumes there’s a player with a big contract or deserves a big contract sitting on a team with corresponding cap room to take the hit or the appetite to move a player deserving a big contract.
CB market just exploded.
