Vikes thread!

[LPS]

So what do you all think about the Cousins to SF trade?  I am all for it.  This doesn't seem like the team for him.  Maybe we get Garapalo?  Man he was really talked up during the draft.  Has a great winning percentage.  I did hear them say he doesn't throw well outside of the hash marks.  Maybe that can be fixed??   Or do they try to get Teddy back?  Can't help but like him but is he that good???  Maybe.  Hasn't happened that but looks highly possible now.

i heard a little bit about that this morning on the radio.........cousins for Jimmy............... HELL YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[glenn57]

 

i may have got a bit carried away!!!!!!!!!!!

[LPS]

I'm with ya Buddy!!

[Gunner55]

  No way! That means Zimmer, Spielman, & the Wilfs all have to publicly admit they f***ed up by signing him in the 1st place! Not happenin IMO, egos are way too big.

[Jerkbiat]

I'm with gunner.  I think if the o line could give him some time he would be better.

Vikes release Rhodes and Joseph!

Vikes release Rhodes and Joseph!

you sure you got that right??? shouldn't it say Rhodes and Cousins.

[Gunner55]

Vikes release Rhodes and Joseph!

you sure you got that right??? shouldn't it say Rhodes and Cousins.

  TE Morgan too, they freed up nearly $19 mil in cap space with Rhodes & Joseph being released. Going to cost 'em a little over $7 mil in dead money though. Knew Rhodes was gone but they were a little unsure of Joseph, last I heard.

[LPS]

So what does the dead cap space really mean?  We save that money but doesn't raise what we can spend?

[Gunner55]

It's money that they spend on players who are no longer on the team but still counts against the salary cap. Mostly guaranteed money like the $28 mil they'd have to pay Cousins this season to not be on the team. There's some buy out clauses in some of the contracts too but I'm not sure how that counts against the cap.

[LPS]

So this is appx.  Rhodes is due 12 mil and that means 8 mil for us in cap space and there is 4 mil in dead cap space.  Maybe it was Joseph but just as an example.  What does that imply?

[HD]

 

[LPS]

     There is fun in the offseason!

[Reinhard]

It begins.  Rhodes and Linval Joseph have been released.  Clearing cap space.  Glad Rhodes is gone but there is a chance that Joseph come's back if they agree to a salery change.  good luck.

[birdswacker]

Good ridden to Rhodes!!

[Gunner55]

I agree on Rhodes, he was due $12.9 next year & that's way too much for a CB who ranked very near the bottom of the league. They still owe him $4.8 so they save a shade over $8 mil on the cap. The #'s I found on Joseph were $10.5/$2.4 mil & I agree with RH that they could easily bring him back as he played pretty well again last season but only if he's willin to sign for less.

[Reinhard]

This will make Glenn happy.  Vikings reach deal for a two year extention with Cousings.  This will give the Vikings more cap space.  good luck.

  i just read that!!!!!! awe gawd..........

there goes any chance the vikings go to the super bowl!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LPS]

    Not much we can do about it.  Just watch and cross our fingers.  SO now maybe we will get a young QB.  This is Zim and Spielmans last ditch effort. 

[LPS]

This could be a smoke screen so SF gives us a better draft pic for him.
