I never wanted him. He's a good player, but he's not worth the off field headache.

 

Yeah, I am not a fan of Richardson. Hopefully he will stay out of trouble.

One year deal. Don't know the details.

 

It is a one-year deal worth $11 million.

 

The Vikings are deviating from what made them a talented team which was drafting, developing, and retaining good players. They had mostly stayed away from signing high-priced free agents like Cousins and Richardson. I hope we don't sign any more unless it is to improve the OL.

Sounds just like another certain team is trying to follow the Vikings past pattern. I'm curious what your thoughts are regarding Cousins.

I like the past pattern haha. It seems that teams that win free agency usually don't fare too well in the following season. 

 

As for Cousins, I don't believe he is that much better than the three quarterbacks that we had. He is a mid-tier QB. If Bradford or Teddy did not have their knee problems, I believe the Vikings would have re-signed one of them. They seemed to like Bradford the most of the three but his degenerative knee problem was too much of a risk. Losing Teddy to the Jets is difficult for Coach Zimmer -- he loved Teddy and said a few weeks ago that he wished Teddy continues his career with him. But Teddy wants to start.

 

I believe the decision to sign Cousins was the owners' decision. They see an opportunity to win the Super Bowl (or Superb Owl as Vikes fans call it) and want to take advantage of that now. They hired John Defilippo to be the OC. He was the QB coach for the Eagles last year. All those moves show that they are pulling out all the stops to win a SB next year. I hope it happens.

    • his reaction to 5, but specifically 6 qbs going through 15 tells me they have 8 or 9 guys they consider premium players.  go back to 2018 draft and he identified premium players as game changing, teams game planning against through the week players. And identified 8 non qb players that year, obviously Q being one of them. I think about those comments a lot, especially when he traded away for Buck. I say there is 8- possibly 9 premium non qb players on the colts board. If one is there at 15, that’s who they take. If not, you can bet it’s a trade back.   
    • good interview with Rich Eisen today.     Talks about fantasy world of getting Harrison.      
    • Do u ever get there is any sense of urgency with Ballard when he speaks bout the team? I hear a lot of I think they should. He just comes across like a guy who feels that he is safe as long as Irsay is the owner. Smooth talker, I guess, and I tire of the soft ball questions from the media. Your team was like at the bottom of the league and that was against horrendous qb play.  Your 2nd round pick corner couldn't stay healthy. Your other corners are late round picks and one coming back from serious injury. I know it's a presser and he can't give it away but man, you would think his defense is just peachy. I honestly think this D needs so much work both schematically and on the talent side. I do think listening to him, he will trade back. I think that the guys that he really covets will be gone or way too expensive. The  top 3 wrs will be gone as will be Bowers. Mitchell is probably not his guy the Dends will go fast. There might be a guy at say 12 but I think he won't pill the trigger and say give  up a 2nd or 3r rounder. 
    • I see most of this forum is fine with Ballard doing what Ballard's always done.   So I'll just remind everybody that he is 54-60-1 and he doesn't have the QB excuse anymore. If he thinks that playing conservative with trading back for more picks and the cap are always the way to go, then I just hope the fan base, and Irsay especially, make no excuses for how those picks work out (and how the top prospects that he didn't make moves for worked out). It's going to be incredibly easy to compare how his strategy works vs what the Texans and Jags have done in FA this year, and it'll be very easy to follow how MHJ,Nabers,Odunze and Bowers perform.
