You guys are thinking short term. If we trade for Watson we're talking about a franchise top 5 guy for the next 10+ years. it will be worth it. We aren't giving away 10+ years of draft capital lmao.

It'd take about five of those ten years at least to be able to build anything, and that's assuming he doesn't get hurt behind the sh-tty O-lines we'd be trotting him out behind before that.

It's just not realistic.

With the roster we have now, the offensive line we have now, the cap room we have now, the head coach we have now and what we'd have to give up to get him, this notion is pure fantasy.

This isn't Madden.

Have u seen what our cap will be next year. I mean does nobody think before they talk anymore?

If u get a franchise qb what do u expect, damn they don’t for 20 mil no more. For a top 10 qb u going to pay 35 -50 mil a year!

We were expecting this year to have loads of cap space too, and we did before free agency and dead cap took it away.

Now, we have a head coach who's desperate to save his job and has full power to do whatever he wants.

If you think we're likely to go into next season with anything close to the cap (or draft capital) we have now, I have some bad news for you.

While that is true, you're thinking as if Watson will stay here the entire time. He didn't exactly like Houston.

I will say this, IF we trade for Watson there are two potential outcomes, and I see both as a positive. This of course assuming we make sure that the legal stuff is taken care of first.

1 - Panthers immediately have the best QB in the NFCS and it isn't close. This immediately puts us at the top of tge division and into the playoffs yearly.

2 - Panthers immediately have the best QB in the NFCS and it isn't close. Therefore Tepper will expect an immediate winner as mentioned in scenario one. Panthers fall short of this in 2022 finally opening Teppers eyes that Rhule is horrible, and fires him. Panthers having a legit QB attracts a good coach finally. We see a competent 2023 team and build from there.

    • As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.
    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
