As of today, I’ve seen that framework for a deal to the Jets is put together fir Rodgers. Then most recently I’ve seen the Jets showing interest in Kirk Cousins.
The Jets need to get Garapolo and leave the aging/declining QBs of the NFC North for our Lions to send into the sunset…with no beans to be had.
I would love that!! But, why would you trade for Hock and then trade Cousins away, that makes zero sense. Because either you are all in or your rebuilding. They also have been cutting a bunch of vet players. Not sure what the Vikes are up to.
Unless the Vikes are trading up for a QB in the top 5!? Or trading for Stafford!? God no!
I’ve seen nothing to suggest Cousins is available.
I’m not understanding what they’re doing either I never understood the Hock trade, like adding a high price TE was going to get them a win in the playoffs.
Regardless, when it comes to Kwesi, I want Brad to have exclusive negotiating rights.
Rest of NFL, Leave Kwesi alone…
Yea I think Fowler and Graziano just making stuff up here right!?
If they make a move you would have to go back to how their GM was lukewarm on Kirk Cousins when he got there. He walked into the building with the attitude of “you have Patrick Mahomes or you don’t.” That echos the view of many here. And on top of that Kwesi is a numbers guy who can talk himself into things. So that could lead to another argument people have made here. Why would you pass up an opportunity to get 80% of the production for 25% of the cost?
So what you are saying is Goff’s days are numbered as a Lion! haha
Trading for Hockenson was a mind boggling move.
They gave a division rival more “draft capital”…
and made the Lions 2023 cap situation better…
while simultaneously crapping on their own 2023 cap situation… as
we now see them cutting significant players (Kendricks, Thielen)….
to help a team that no person thought could win the NFC in 2022.
Seriously.
Did anyone see any article suggesting the Vikings were ever a threat to win the NFC???
They were always PRETENDERS…. not contenders.
And that’s why the NFL is more fun than a barrel of monkeys throughout the year…
The Vikings in 2022 believed their record reflected their ability when literally every metric said that wasn’t the case.
They thought they were gonna legit make a run.
And Daniel ■■■■■■■ Jones beat them … in Minnesota.
So much for Kwesi being a numbers guy.
He beat them with a 1st round RB, which is even worse!
I agree brother! What’s gonna be even funnier is when they decide to pay Hock 15-20 mill per year, which they basically have to do after trading for him. Otherwise he walks and they get nothing, that would also be hilarious after trading for him.
And I like Hock but shit he aint worth even half of what he is likely to command.
Such a good call here…. 
I can’t imagine any computer, nerd, football guy, or savant of any kind thinking there was a scenario that the Vikings were gonna win a Super Bowl with that team…, and really struggle to see a NFC title even.
It would have required a “Minneapolis Miracle” on a whole new level.
I don’t know if he is worth half of his 5th year option this year.
Yeah… I’d rather have $4.5 million to spend elsewhere.
A little devils advocate here…
If we were the 2022 Vikings, we would be talking about how we are going to the SB. I mean we went 9-8 last year, granted a really amazing finish…but we didn’t play much of anyone significant. Yeah yeah we “should’ve beaten” the Bills blah blah blah…but still, we overachieved big time last year.
GM made a push and added a playmaker to their offense. Of course we all felt like they were fools gold but I totally understand it from all angles from their perspective. They had a lot of talent on that roster…but then again they also had Kirk Cousins 
Perspective is an interesting thing. We hate the Vikings, so they never had a chance! But if roles were reversed, I can just imagine how we would be the best team in football!!! And have every excuse in the book as to why the metrics LIE 
Lol at your 2 NFCN and Minny posts
They were winning last year only because it was Zimmers guys still.
I can see them sucking from now on.
About to be an early 3rd round pick from them next year …maybe 6th pick in 3rd round
Fair point! I guess they could franchise him and try to trade him. So this story isn’t finished yet.
The big issue they have is Jefferson wants to be the highest paid WR in the history of the nfl, and yes he deserves it, but how much money do they have! Hock aint the priority, Jefferson is.
They have to pay him over $9 million in 2023…
before they have the “opportunity” to franchise him and tie up $11+ million in 2024.
.
edit… I think I just threw up in my mouth after thinking of the Lions paying Hock $20+ million over the next 2 years…
