:siren: I like podcasts. If you have any to recommend for your NFCN team, let me know and I can add them to the OP.

I like Purple Daily both because I think their analysis/takes are good and because they make people who think you're not allowed to criticize your favorite team incredibly mad

Stafford went for two firsts, a third, and Jared Goff. Packers will likely keep some of Rodgers' contract if he's traded to sweeten the pot, but yeah I don't see him going for much less than two firsts.

let's be real, one of those firsts was because they were taking on Jared Goff

Theilen is a weird one to me because you only save about 6 million in 2023 by cutting him so unless they're doing a post-june first designation on him to smooth it out I don't know that you can realistically even replace him with someone who's even at his current level (wherever you think that might be) with that money.

Thielen will be 33 next year and is not the same receiver he was. That is a terrible contract however.

Even when he signed it people could tell it was going to be terrible at the back end

They're not doing a post-june 1st on this either so they're definitely making sure they keep their 2024 books clean in the process.

That's surprising, Smith was still good last year I thought. Maybe he's just taking a hard stance on renegotiating his contract.

Or he sees the teardown coming and would rather gtfo.

If both Smiths do depart, there's very little reason not to go straight tank. Or to not fire Ed Ingram's pedo rear end into the sun.

As to the teardown, I really don't see a credible playoff team if either Smith departs and if both go, that definitely makes the Vikings one of the worst teams in the conference?

Za'Darius was invisible in the second half, losing Kendricks was a bigger blow to the defense than losing him will be

cool trade for Da Bears

Vikings converting Kirk's roster bonus to a signing bonus spread over void years to open up space in this year's cap. Even if (:pray:) Cousins departs after this year, it'll be $28.5m on next year's cap.

I'm... intruiged? I don't think I can judge it until I see how the cap space is used this year. If they are planning to tear it down to studs for 2024, this would help them hit the floor.

now we know why they weren't absorbing some of their other cuts into 2024, either through post june1st designations or restructures

I know he's cool but is Jamaal like really good at anything that isn't short yardage because his stats sure don't show it

e: this is more directed at the people wondering why he got paid "so little" when I look at his numbers and think "yeah that's probably about right for an RB like that"

This whole thing is reminding me of when the Timberwolves "had" to trade Kevin Love to the Cavs and everyone was wondering why it was taking so long because they had no leverage and then they got the #1 overall pick in the trade

I’m sure the trade ends up happening and the compensation will be meaningful but way less than Wilson or Watson cost. Maybe the equivalent of a late first, with some conditions.

I'm not sure anyone would have predicted the Bears pick would be even close to #1 when they made the trade anyway, didn't they just lose out to finish the season after they made it? I feel like they were like 3-4 or something when it happened so getting a weapon for your young QB to see if you could make some magic happen seems fine to me and ending up in the 10-15 range otherwise would have probably been a more common prediction

yeah they did better than I thought they would, considering the Jets had the leverage in being able to wait, knowing the Packers have to get rid of him, with no other team giving offers.

The jets not having a competent QB on their roster kind of killed any of that so called leverage they had

They could wait until after the draft and closer to training camp, they were betting the Packers did not want to spike the chance to get picks this year. and generally have that specter hanging around into the Love torch passing.

Which was a correct bet. Packers ended up having to come closer to what the Jets were looking for.

I guess I feel like the Packers got the better end of the trade is all, so I don't think they were the ones that broke first. A second this year + a (probable) first next year is pretty good for a 39 year old QB

There's been tons of smoke around the Vikings trading up for a qb so I just want to get it over with so they can end up trading back for more draft capital when none of that happens.
