Carr is boom or bust like Cutler and he's 32 years old. You don't tie up 30+ million a year in that kind of a risk after you've already traded for Darnold and Mayfield. Be realistic people. The draft is the only path forward.

I’ll trust whatever decision our coaches make.

Ofc I would accept it and support but that doesn't mean I have to be blind to the possible cons. I think the % odds of Carr being who we hope is at best even with what we would get drafting a quarterback. When you add in the fact we would have to pay him 35 million a year that's a BIG miss if it doesn't work in our favor. At least with a draft pick if you miss you aren't sinking your salary cap too.

If this coaching staff and FO love him, take him at 9, no issues there.

However, he will need a year of sitting, and likely more.

Fine by me, invest in the future....but you need to win now, and we will need a good Vet if we go this route.

Rivers sat for 2 years, Rodgers sat for 3.

I don't see a point of drafting him to sit for a year or two.  There's a guy like Richardson every year in the draft.  Now that I thought about it and watched a little tape, I'd be cool with the Skoronski pick.  Skoronski would solidify us having one of the best OL's in the league.  Corbett is coming off the ACL tear so we have a hole there.  I'd also swing Christensen to RG.  

Icky, Skoronski, Bozeman,  Christensen, Moton.  If Corbett is 100 percent I'd switch Christensen back to primary rotational player.

Icky, Skoronski, Bozeman, Corbett, Moton.  That's a nasty line.

It just reeks of a Kirk Cousins kinda move. Good enough to make it to the wild card game every other year and lose, always picking around 15-20. And it's not even really your own guy you drafted. I think Cousins is better than Carr and most on the Vikings message board are ready to move on and draft a guy instead of paying Kirk $35M a year over and over again with the same mediocre results

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
