Why are we worried about fixing anything? We are 3-4 and sinking and we haven’t even gotten to the hard part of our schedule.

Nobody is giving up anything notable for AJ Bouye.  At best, he would get us a 6th round pick, and even that is a stretch.  Why would a team trade anything worth having, just so they could have Bouye for ~8 games?

This is what some of you guys never seem to understand.  If trading guys on the last year of their contract was that easy, then every team would be rushing to do it.  You guys overstate how much Donte Jackson would get us back in a trade too.  He's on the last year of his deal.  At best, a contending team might trade a 4th for him, but it ain't like he's some elite superstar.  He's a solid corner who teams would wait to bid on when free agency hits.  So even a 4th probably isn't something teams are calling us to offer.

He is under contract for next season. I think he has been decent so far this year.

Bouye has been great and I like him for us.  Donte before overpaying would be smart.

Chinn, Bouye & Taylor have been the glue for us in the secondary.

Gonna be very interesting to see where they decide to allocate money in the secondary moving forward.  I think there is a real possibility of us re-signing Gilmore assuming he comes in and balls out the rest of the season.  So, we would then have Gilmore, Horn and Taylor as our 3 main CBs, which, from a financial perspective anyways, makes the most sense to me.  If we're going to be handing out a big money extension to a CB they're gonna have to choose between Donte and Gilmore.  Too many holes on this team to pay them both big bucks, especially considering the draft capital we've thrown at the position recently.  Hell, I wouldnt be upset with Horn, Taylor and Boyue next year honestly.

Understandable Fitterer would want significant compensation. Bouye had been an excellent free agent acquisition and has a favorable contract (signed 2yr $7 million deal in April) 

 

He came in and took over that DB room right away. Both DJ, and AJ paid him numerous compliments early on. The guy fits right in.

    • Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.
    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
