@2G1CRangers @bobkillthebeatz @FieldYates So is it an issue that they aren’t able to sit Penix for a couple of years like they intended making this a disaster?

It’s also costing $90M. The process might have been different but the result is the same just more expensive with Penix starting even earlier than McCarthy

@BarstoolBigCat Was this a must win or a can’t lose?

[Smo @sam_orth]

But everyone said Will Smith was going to win the Royals the division this year???

@cka2nd2 @ClaytonRBrooks2 @Vikeologist In 2021 (under Flores), AVG played 800 snaps and Greenard missed time in 2022 and was a full time starter this past year. I’m also pretty sure Houston and Miami had deeper edge pools than the Vikings did last year and rotated a lot more than the Vikings did

@AustinPlanet @austingrew21 @ProFootballTalk Kirk cousins was under contract until earlier today brother. Contract didn’t terminate until the start of the new league year

[Smo @sam_orth]

@liliceberg1of1 @BushidoBJr @thorku @Skol_Doc Are either of them making $40M?

[Smo @sam_orth]

@acordweather @RedZoneStock @SkolBros You can only use it on guys set to become a UFA… The Vikings can franchise him for 2 more seasons if they want to. He is still solidly under team control.

[Smo @sam_orth]

@MNTwinsZealot “Gave”??? I’m pretty sure he was compensated fairly well. I feel like the TV broadcast was getting pretty dry, especially if you compare his HR calls to those from his peers across the League. I think it’s the right business decision and Provus will bring the needed juice

@twhite782 @NathanJ14331616 @NickNelsonMN Re-signing Gray was never in the cards. A) the price of the contract
B) regression should be expected
C) Twins are getting the 34ish pick as a comp pick from the QO.

I doubt he’d play well enough to make the contract + lost value of the pick. It would be poor asset management

@JonNoHPeterson @LaVelleNeal Crime has been decreasing year over year in Minneapolis the past 3 years if you actually care about statistics instead of fear mongering

[Smo @sam_orth]

@Djedi_Master @cursedfan23 @vig_senthil @JVSwaps I mean if we’re talking outlook, the CB room was ancient in 2021 and is younger with potential now, safeties are very solid and young even if they move on from Hitman, LB isn’t better but it’s younger and less expensive especially if you factor Metellus playing some LB/S hybrid

[Smo @sam_orth]

@TixGuy417 @dohyoungpark It’s exhausting. Buck seems like a genuine dude and he doesn’t even have that crazy of a contract unless he’s good and healthy (which would make it worth it). It’s so baffling how people can watch his struggles and seem to find joy in rooting against him.

[Smo @sam_orth]

@jjoshohnson @TPPSkol You’re just wrong. The $28M is money he’s already been paid that isn’t accounted for in the salary cap yet. New money would be in addition to that $28M. We can “save cap” this year by pushing the $28M and new money into the future which is the salary cap issue the OP is implying

[Smo @sam_orth]

@RyanKirkley @MattAnderson_8 Also, counting .500 seasons as “winning seasons” is being accepting of mediocrity in my opinion. How many .500 teams have won a SB?

[Smo @sam_orth]

@RyanKirkley @MattAnderson_8 I get that context matters but only adding context for the losing makes it feel like excuses to me. The 22 season they were historically good in one score games. If you cherry pick the negatives out of a data set it will look good but it doesn’t reflect reality.

[Smo @sam_orth]

@SDMAGA79 @verysadvikings One vote from unanimous MVP but go off.

[Smo @sam_orth]

@austin20914743 @NickNelsonMN @Mason_Clty Plus if he re-signed with us, we wouldn’t have gotten a competitive balance pick equal to a late 1st. Twins were never really going to go after him that hard because of that even if he really wanted to come back

[Smo @sam_orth]

@SDMAGA79 @verysadvikings Lamar just made it to the AFCCG, is like 10 years younger and is about to win a second MVP… he’s head and shoulders above cousins. Comparing Lamar losing in the conference championship to the chiefs dynasty vs the Vikings losing to the GIANTS in the wildcard is wild

@mnwprospects Does the Cup curse extend to AI generated versions of players??? 😬😬🥺

[Smo @sam_orth]

@DanielIves16 @RealMarkGalabi @_jason_777 @NoHoHankSkol_ And even if Kirk takes a major discount, you’re still pushing a lot of future cap expenditures into the future and affecting the ability to build in the future.
