I think Dan forgot who is designing and calling plays.

Wait......so Kirk is under contract next year too???

Not really. We have to pay him $10M in March but it is really for this year. He also has an $80M poison pill that will get him released after the season. So this is really $10.6M for the rest of this year.

Honestly, I thought it would take more than a third. It's a good move at that price. This defense deserves so much more from the QB position. Kirk can be the bridge QB next year, too.

Not likely. He has an $80M 2-year poison pill in his contract. After this season we will have to release him and pay him $10M.

Time to dust this off. Welcome back, Kirk. https://t.co/g9BRkYQTpg

One additional positive, we're about to find out if the offensive problems are on the QB or KOC. It'll reveal to Teasley whether or not KOC has to give up offensive coordinator duties, at minimum.

I don't agree with this wholesale. I think Cousins should be in the tier of QB that can paper over KOCs problems. I don't think that means that the problems aren't there.

As far as the March 2027 roster bonus is concerned: https://t.co/xUCzp7Xshn

Could be the save of the season.
I was feeling so shitty about wasting this defense.
For a third? All day, every day.
10 games to go still!!!

Are you gobsmacked?

We’ve gone from the feeling of hopelessness to hopeful.
Welcome back Kirko!

IF a quality QB can run the offense, then the problem isn't with the offense.

Now decision on who plays QB, who do we pursue? Glad we have Teasley to oversee that. But KOC can run his offense with a decent QB.

For how sick I was when the Vikings shipped McCarthy away for peanuts and with what we had in our QB room, I truly thought the season was on life support. Well, we just turned the corner and are have come back to life! I am so pumped to have Kirko back for all of his weirdness, his awkward leadership style, and of course his chains, but more importantly, I'm so thrilled to have one of the most accurate passers in the game back, a guy who is tough as nails, and fights and roots on his team no matter what happens to him.

Welcome home, Kirko! Thrilled!

We'll see how the season goes, but option 3 seems do-able.

Unless they move for Mac Jones or someone like that, they'll still need a QB cause a rook wont be ready.

Kirk Cousins has been a focal point of the #Vikings’ search for a QB, so much so that Kevin O’Connell made it very clear to ownership that he was the No. 1 target, per multiple league sources. https://t.co/UwF8tzZDU7

He's playing running back now.

There's got to be some behind the scenes. There's no way this should have happened for our lowest 3rd.

Which is why Viking nation can give Teasley a salute today...

I guess the Raiders were ready to see what they got in Mendoza now.
