Rodgers is washed. Let the Love era begin, hopefully with an extra 1st+!

They said the same about Favre

I'm pretty sure nobody said Favre was washed after a 13-3 season where he threw for over 4000 yards and 28 touchdowns. He was an MVP candidate his last year in Green Bay.

Will help the struggling run game, likely heavily backloaded. Pretty sure the cap hit will be only around $3m or so and this is more of a 2yr deal than a real 3yr deal.

Not really. They are fixing it but after trying to go for it for a few years their cap space was going to be a mess. They are letting players walk like Kendricks and replacing them with youth.

Havent done the research myself but i heard our cap situation next year looks real nice, between 100-120 million.

It will be but they may shift some of it this year to next.

It will be but they may shift some of it this year to next.

It also probably doesnt look that good when you factor in JJs extension too.

 

[Sad People]

Looks like he has a pretty big dead cap hit next season at 28.5 million when his contract ends.

Kirk Cousins contract restructure saves $16 million

The Minnesota Vikings saved $16 million in salary cap space by restructuring the contract of Kirk Cousins.

www.yahoo.com

The Minnesota Vikings restructured the contract of quarterback Kirk Cousins on Tuesday afternoon to save cap space. According to The Star Tribune’s Ben Goessling, the Vikings have saved $16 million on the salary cap for 2023.

Cousins had a base salary of $10 million and a roster bonus that was due this week at $20 million. With two void years to play with, the Vikings push out $16 million into those two years and reduce his cap hit from $36.25 million to $20.25 million. The dead money that the Vikings are looking at in 2023 sits at $28.25 million.

Why did they do this? It’s one of two ways. They needed the cap space and were in a very comfortable place adding to next year’s salary cap.

This could also have been done to help facilitate a trade. Lowering Cousins’ cap hit for a new team down to just $6 million makes his situation extremely lucrative.

Vikings rework Cousins' deal, retain C Bradbury

The Vikings have restructured the contract of quarterback Kirk Cousins to provide $16 million of salary cap relief in 2023 and agreed to re-sign center Garrett Bradbury, sources said.

Meanwhile, the Vikings agreed to terms with incumbent center Garrett Bradbury on a three-year contract, a source told ESPN, confirming a report by NFL Network.

The Vikings also announced the re-signing of quarterback Nick Mullens, whom the Vikings acquired last summer from the Las Vegas Raiders to serve as Cousins' backup. Mullens appeared in four games, completing 21 of 25 passes for 224 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

 

[Sad People]

5 milly a year for Bradbury aint that bad. Hopefully we can draft and develop one here in the next year or 2.

I love that he's been complaining that he has no weapons in GB, but then he requests the Jets to sign the exact same WRs he had in Green Bay along with Mercedes f***ing Lewis.

Keep in mind, Garret Wilson is already there and he's a fantastic weapon, the other guys are just depth.
