I think the only way he plays during this season is if right off the mark he blows Darnold away in training camp and KOC can't not start him or if Darnold is massively struggling and he gets a chance that way. I think KOC should be able to get a tune out of Darnold though, enough to be...

Bradbury also seems to have an issue with his back, time will tell if that's something that is going to get worse. You'd imagine that as a centre it's doing his back no favours!

Yeah the cap space next year gave us a lot of bargaining power this year to go and get what we really needed now. Will be interesting to see where our 1st pick is next year and how the team has played. Could be that we trade down next year depending on what's available.

I'm also very happy, especially as we managed to keep our 1st for next year. A lot of the talk was that we'd have to part with the 11, 23 and a 1st next year to be in a position to draft McCarthy. The only criticism is that we probably could have stuck at 23 and been able to draft one of...

I'm assuming the non Onana penalty in the opening game.

Could very well be wrong but I'd imagine that ETH was demanding a high level of autonomy because of the utter bin fire of a club (in terms of structure) that the was taking over. LVG essentially told him not to take the job and I don't doubt there would have been others saying the same to him...

From the Vikings side this is 100% with a view to trading up for a QB, there's no doubt about that. They showed last year when they tried to move up for Richardson that was the way they were heading.

I think they would have probably had enough without this to get to 5 which would be enough for JJ McCarthy. I think they've got their eye on a top 3 pick. They'll not get the 1st off the Bears but maybe they can throw enough at the Pats for 3rd.

Vikings trade the 42nd, 188th and 2025 2nd Rd picks for Houstons 23rd and 232nd pick. Vikings now have 2 picks in the first round so much more desirable capital to use to trade up.

Jefferson will be getting paid big time by the Vikings, I don't buy that he'll want out without Cousins there.

Yes, it is unlikely but it should be an option that they consider. They tried to trade up last year from 23 to get Richardson but couldn't get an agreement but it will be "easier" this year to do similar so there is clearly no fear from the organisation in taking that leap if they feel it's the...

Would expect with the number of players missing and the number of youngsters we have had on the bench recently that he will be in the matchday squad this weekend, even if he doesn't get off the bench.

Yeah, if we had went for someone like Russell Wilson then there would have been a lot more pressure to play him regardless, even though he would have been on a team friendly deal. Darnold is an easy choice as it's a cheap deal we're not tied into. If it doesnt work then we can look again this...

I don't think that Darnold is going to be the starting QB. I think the Vikings will be trading up as far as they possibly can and taking a QB, it will be interesting to see what the price is to get up to third for example. If they are sold on JJ McCarthy then they'll likely not have to trade up...

I think the fact that Cousins has taken it this far would indicate to me that he's going to Atlanta. He knows what the Vikings are offering him and will know what's on the table from Atlanta so if he was re-signing with the Vikings it would have happened already. The only way he stays in...
