Report: Panthers 'laughed off' purported interest in Vikings QB Kirk Cousins

[TheSpecialJuan]

Two weeks ago, a claim from the Purple Daily podcast connected the team with Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins—alleging Carolina made an inquiry into the three-time Pro Bowler. But Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer has sniffed out some opposition to that particular account, writing that the Panthers didn’t think much of the purported interest.

“. . . while there were reports that the Panthers inquired about Cousins in Minnesota, two sources said that call never occurred,” Alexander notes. “The coaching staff and front office were actually in a meeting when they heard the news and laughed it off.”

Not sure why we would laugh it off. Cousins is worlds better than Darnold.

And Bridgewater.  He is actually better than anyone we have had since 2017 Cam Newton.

Probably because even though he’s absolutely better than Darnold he’s not worth the money/the money he’s gonna ask for next year. We crucify the team for dumb decisions kudos to making a good decision.

They didn't. USA Today read the story wrong.

What they laughed off was the report that they had already made a call.

When you're Matt Rhule, you pay the salaries of two starting QBs every season.  Even though, you never keep more than one of them on the roster.  That's just what you do, when you're Matt Rhule.
