One the one hand, we have a top 10 pick in JJM with great traits and I still think an uber high ceiling

On the other hand (to quote MB) did the football gods just do the Vikings a rare solid to have another top 3 QB cut loose waiting to be resurrected?

I'm just glad FA isnt that far off anymore...

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

If its going to be Murray, we'll have to wait a bit, probably the whole week... maybe a bit more as he'll probably be taking visits and won't actually and officially be cut until Wednesday afternoon. I keep seeing the Jets in on Murray, but I think they are going to take the big swing and get Malik Willis. I also saw in some interview where Murray said he doesn't like cold weather games, lol. I think we'll understand Minnesota's interest or lack thereof if they schedule a visit or not.

Yeah right, no contact whatsoever cuz that’s the rules. Naive a little?

Last time a team was caught tampering they were stripped of their 1st and 3rd round draft picks and fined $2 million dollars. But yeah,  I’m sure the Vikings are just ignoring all that.

I think there’s a huge difference in the difference between tampering (the spirit of the law) and tampering (the letter of the law). Tampering (the spirit of the law) is going after someone that is on someone else’s roster to try and get them off the roster. The offense you were referring to was the Dolphins repeatedly trying to get a player and a coach to leave their team and join a new team. Like if someone came after Justin Jefferson and repeatedly tried to recruit him, the Vikings would be obviously pissed and the league would punish the offending team.

The same is not true of Kyler. We all know that he’s effectively a free agent. The cardinals aren’t going to be pissed if tampering happens. We’re all waiting with baited breath for the tampering window to open and to hear all the contract details that unfurl immediately, which would never happen if these teams started negotiating within the tampering period.

I think the Kirk Cousins situation is the borderline example. He like so many other examples was clear tampering, but he opened his mouth and confessed to the tampering and the league had to enforce the rules that they choose to ignore, and they gave the Falcons a slap on the wrist.
