McCord looked better but had lower QBR than Plummer, if such a thing were possible.

I'd be more comfortable with Bailey Zappe or Hendon Hooker

The benefit of McCord, if he’s close to the other two in ability, is the locked in, cheap contract. 
 

Zappe’s contract expires this year. 
Hooker’s next year. 
McCord costs ~$1mil per year through 2028.

It's about the money.  It's always about the money. 

Vikings want the Panthers to eat a small amount of his contract and Thielen to take a paycut down to around 4m that's fully guaranteed. 

 

To give an idea of how far along talks are at this point.

I really don’t want to take a weapon away from Bryce in a year where we have to know what we have by end of the year. Possibly 5 QBs will go in the top 10 this year. We need to give everything he needs this year to be successful so there isn’t an excuse to fall back on. Only way I would want to trade him even remotely is if it’s for a upgrade at FS.

    • 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.
