Panthers have reached out to Minnesota for Kirk Cousins

[pantherj]

I have not once said this on this site until now. Fire Rhule immediately. Promote McAdoodoo.

Lol I would out right fire Rhule if cousins was brought in as anything but a cheapish (yeah right) stopgap for a rookie to learn under.

Oh my god.

Kirk Cousins is just Teddy Bridgewater maximizing his abilities. Good enough to compete for playoff berths, not good enough to get you anywhere on the playoffs. Hard pass.

Rhule's quest for mediocrity continues...

TL/DR:  Lock up your draft picks and cap space, Rhule's going shopping.

You mean this isn’t what the fans want?

thought Tepper said it’s all about the fans

  This would be the 4th strike out in QB's in 2 years with this coaching staff and front office.  WTF are they thinking?

 

Just did a quick check and his base salary for 2022 is 35 million.  lol

We would damn near 1/2 of our money going to QBs.  If you count what we still owe TB5 and Darnold's 5th year option plus Cousins quick math brings us to 50 mil in QBs alone.

I could see something like pick 6 and Darnold for Cousins and their 1st rounder… Need to make that money work somehow

This is really why I’m not against Pickett. I’d rather have Pickett on a rookie deal than trade for basically Pickett (Cousins or Garopollo) and pay them their salary

FYI: Still nothing from any established sources but for what it's worth, a listener to the show tweeted that Zulgad said the Vikings told the Panthers that Cousins isn't available "at this time".

There have been reports that Kevin O'Connell plans to stick with Cousins.

Of course, you know how "plans" go.

Cousins isn't bad, but he hasn't struck me as great either. The Vikings paid for "great" but the best they ever got out of him was "pretty good".

Is he better than what we have? Probably, but I'd really like to know what we're thinking of trading if we go that route.

Cousins would be Carolina’s version of Jimmy G. If you surround him with enough talent then he can get you deep in the playoffs. The problem is……do we have THAT much talent? I would think with that contract you could probably land him with a 3rd or 4th round pick or a 2nd next year.

Vikings fans are replying to the Twitter post calling BS because the original “source“ has an ax to grind against cousins

[pantherj]

Rhule is crapping his pants in fear that he's going to get fired, so he's going to trade our future away to get to .500. Fire him now Tepper.

[Waldo]

I can't wait to see these idiots fired. 0-3 incoming fast lol.

I'd rather have Jimmy G., but if a QB trade is going down (and it appears it will) Cousins isn't the worst option.  My question is what do we give up?  I'm more worried about that than Cousins being a Panther.

O’Connell led off by saying “well he’s under contract” when asked and sounded like if they could trade him they would.

I was told about Cousins a month ago. So I’m not surprised by this
