Colts getting a 6th rounder in return

Really curious what the Raiders can squeeze out of the Vikings for Cousins.

I don't think he's going anywhere.  The Raiders are a game out of a playoff spot.

Cousins to the Vikings for a 3rd. 

Well, damn. Thought they'd get more.

He gone

Yeah guess I don't know horsefeathers.

[Tryptamine]

Well the Vikings just got far more scary.

[NorthsideAvenger]

Cousins does represent an upgrade for the Vikings but Minnesota still has the worst QB in the division.

Hopefully Cousins will start vs GB. I assume he will

Sure they did, certainly a big improvement for them.  Though, think about this, they still have the worst QB in the NFC North.  Before this trade I didn't think they would beat GB - have to score points - after, think they have a good chance to beat the Packers.  Honestly, I don't care, the Bears are superior to the Vikings at the most important position, I like their chances.

Bears are too quiet,  not even a rumor

I hope Simmons isn't their only move

Chargers just traded a LB to the Broncos. So maybe things are thawing with the Chargers.

Honestly, I fully expected all along that it probably was.  And I'm fine with that.  One swing but it's a home run.

Elliot could be added as a signing which would replace Mack, but it would be nice to also add a CB though.

[Banedon]

Heh, if the playoffs started today, the Kirk Cousins Vikings would take on the JJ McCarthy Giants.  What a fun storyline.

[Tryptamine]

Really surprised Jonathan Taylor didn't get moved. The Giants supposedly had an offer of a 2nd and a 5th for him. 

[BigSlick]

Honestly a shrewd move by the Vikings. They are Super Bowl contenders if they can even muster average QB play (which they haven't gotten from Kyler or Wentz). We shall see how it plays out for them. 

A 3rd is not too much to ask to put you over the top for a Super Bowl. I am kinda into how much the division is pushing their chips in. Gonna be an exciting second half of the season.

Simmons was it for the bears...

Guess theyre hoping his presence with the line pressure will help the Dbacks, just hope it dont bite them in ass down the road.

They have 4 wins over teams that are 0-8, 1-7, 2-7 and 3-5. They tied an NFL record by allowing 30+ points in 6 straight games. They still play Denver twice, Seattle and at KC so that’s 9 losses at minimum. They might be a game out but they’re a bad team and they weren’t making the playoffs with Cousins.
