Vikes are set to offer Captain Kirk 3 years 91 million FULLY GUARANTEED.

I don't know if a QB is the missing piece in Minn. I guess we will see.

[Moo Daeng]

On the surface this sucks as a precedent. 

I hope the league can find and develop some good QBs soon.

I don't know why you guys are so surprised.  Cousins has put up solid numbers for several years. Plus, at least since Alex Smith was signed,  analysts have been saying that Cousins may be the highest paid QB ever.  

So,  yeah,  contracts may be "getting out of hand," but it is what what it is.  That's the cost of a quality QB these days (Approx 30 mil per). 

A lot of you are overlooking the significance of a multi-year fully guaranteed contract. If that's what this truly turns out to be, it's absolutely ground breaking and it's something that the NFL has been resisting for... well, forever.

I'm not sure I believe in the missing piece. I would agree that he's a missing piece.

I'm just not entirely certain I'd pay that much money for "a" piece.

Exactly. save your money give Keenum a 2 year deal and draft a Qb in the second round  Maybe even end of the first with Rudolph or Jackson being there

[RealisticPanther]

I'm not even tryin to pay Cam all that

I'm actually kinda curious as to why just three years. Most QB contracts tend to be five.

Given that it's fully guaranteed, my guess would be they don't wanna be stuck with him for more than three years if he goes there and sucks.

I agree with you to a point.  I think that it would possibly have more significance if it was for a longer term and more money, but it's almost as if they're treating him like a paid mercenary.

Here is some more perspective from PFT's Mike Florio,  @LinvilleGorge and @Moo Daeng

 

"Teams typically resist fully-guaranteeing more than the first two years of a contract at signing, because outdated rules require the guarantee to be funded at signing. It’s a protection that was put in place to benefit players at a time when there were concerns about the ability of teams to make ends meet. Now, to borrow a line from Eddie Murphy, the ends are meeting like a mutherf–cker.

"Three years ago, the Dolphins fully guaranteed the first three years of Ndamukong Suh‘s contract. That same year, the Jets signed Darrelle Revis to a contract that contained fully-guaranteed salaries for 2015 and 2016, with $6 million of his 2017 salary fully guaranteed at signing.

"So the Jets, at least once before, have departed from the standard reluctance to fully guarantee at signing more than two years of pay. Will they, or anyone else, do it into the fourth year or beyond with Cousins?"

Gulp, that is a huge offer.  Hope this happens and we can get our hands on Teddy

Teddy is going to want to start.  I would also think Turner would put up an absolute big NO on Teddy here.

Forget about it.  Ain't happening.

Case Keenum can't catch a f'ing break.
