Because there is no baseball. And it beats the NBA and NHL.

And if the Wild can get back to playing the way they were before the All Star Break, there might be another bandwagon to jump on.

Actually the Wolves are looking like they might be worth watching.

I don't watch either very much but do kind of watch how they're doing often. The Wild were playing great before their ASB but have really struggled since, just the opposite for the T'wolves.  :scratch:

They have 4 days to be under the salary cap. Something has to give. Either Cousins goes or the others.

Depends on what Houston wants for a trade for Watson. I think there are other teams willing to offer more. But Watson has a no trade clause. So he has to agree with who the trade is with. He has said he would play for the Vikings. But Carolina is most likely to give the most. But he has said he doesn't want to go there. It will be decided probably by the end of next week. Then the NFL has to decide if they will suspend him.

 :scratch: I read where he might carry a Russel Wilson like price tag, 2-#1s, 2-#2s, 3 starters, & a 5th rounder. No thanks.  :rolleyes: :bonk: https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/four-teams-leading-the-pursuit-of-texans-quarterback-deshaun-watson/ar-AAUZ2Ck?ocid=uxb

Legal tampering period starts tomorrow. New league year starts Wednesday, when trades can be made. Will be interesting what the Vikes decide to do with Cousins and his $45 million cap hit.

I would hate to see Kendricks go.  He does a lot of tackling.

I wouldn't want Watson if Houston paid his salary, drove him up here and gave him to the Vikings for free.

The guy is a pig and the stink will be on him forever. Actually calling him a pig is a insult to pigs.

There might not have been enough to indict him but where there is smoke from 22 women there is at least one fire.

I have to agree Dutchy.  How can people be found not guilty enough to be punished legally but still guilty enough to have to pay out money.  Baffles me.  Terrible role model and I don't think the Vikings would stoop that low.

Vikes could lower Cousin's 2022 salary to $1 million and pay the rest in signing bonuses over the next 5 years. That would drop his Cap salary to $18 million next year. Then he would become a free agent after next year.

I'd sure like to know how Gladney was acquitted down in Texas.  He choked his girlfriend and dragged her by her hair, but he wasn't guilty of assault?   :confused: :angry:

The girlfriend must have testified on his behalf and said it was all her fault; that Gladney is really a loving, caring man.
 :crazy: :thumbs:

Or he wrote a check. Funny how money for a early 20 something can make your memory foggy.

To move away from Cousins, the Vikings would have to trade him for mediocre value, then sign a journeyman stopgap quarterback and admit they're trying to rebuild.

 Not a good plan. With Wilson moving to the AFC and Brady retiring (at least so far) Cousins moves into the top 5 in the NFC QB's. Best not to trade him. They wouldn't get what he is worth.

Vikes sign Cousins to 1 year extension.

Cousins was due to make $35 million in 2022. He has signed a one-year extension, at another $35 million. His pay this year increases to $40 million.

Cousins’s cap number for 2022 drops from $45.166 million to $31.25 million.

The deal also has a no-trade clause.

So is this what some other team wants to trade him???? We shall see.

 :scratch: Personally, I always thought it would most likely end up going this route. Especially with the current market on QBs where, otherwise, it probably ends up being like another Herschel Walker trade. :crazy: :pouty:

I'm giving cousins 1 game, if he sucks I'm going back to bashing him... Or the first loss!! :evil: :rotflmao:

I hope he does well, so if that redone deal did in fact lower the cap I guess he is a little bit of a team player.  :scratch: but man he's making some Cha ching.$$$$$
