I will continue to pound the drums for the team to get extensions done for Jefferson, Hunter, and Hockenson before training camp begins. They have the cap space. Here is what I would offer with the hopes that it is sufficient and fair.
First, the current cap space ...
Season : Cap Space
2023 : $17,809,972 | 2024 : $53,446,344
...
Hockenson gets a 4 yr 58M deal
Hunter gets a 3 yr 66M deal
Jefferson gets a 5 yr 168M deal
...
2023 : $8,044,972 | 2024 : $23,554,177

Six Takeaways From Watching Kirk Cousins in Netflix’s ‘Quarterback’
I have not watched any of this show. I might but Cousins has always been a good man and tough as nails. His character is outstanding.
“I didn’t even see it,” Cousins said. “This is the first time hearing about it.”
Cousins probably could have just left it at that and no one would have thought anything of it, but then, the Vikings QB decided to offer a more in-depth answer.
“As a competitor, you’d always want that,” Cousins said of being on a top-five list. “People have to be honest and share what they think and I’m not going to tell somebody what they need to think. Hopefully in 2024, I’ll be on his list. We’ll see what we can do this year.”
Nice but the whole thing is much ado about nothing.

Vikings Trade Proposal Secures $230 Million QB to Succeed Kirk Cousins
“The Kyler Murray thing, I think there’s some potential there if the Vikings are moving on from Kirk Cousins but they win too many games to get a high draft pick,” Matthew Coller said on a July 12 episode of “The Purple Insider” podcast.
“It’s not completely absurd to think that could be something of interest for the Vikings. The most likely scenario remains… the Vikings draft somebody [to succeed Cousins],” Coller said. “But if they end up with 10 wins and they’re in the playoffs and they can’t get one of the top quarterbacks [in the draft], then what do you do? You start investigating other ways around that.”
Interesting but it is pure speculation.

Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new:
- No discussion of politics or religion
- No feeding of the trolls
- Leave the gender hatred at the door
- Keep the bad language to a minimum (using the spoiler tags, if you must)
- Speaking of which, if discussing a newer show or movie, please use spoiler tags
- No pictures that could get someone fired or in serious trouble with their employer
- If you can’t disagree in a civil manner, feel free to go away
- While navigating the open thread, just assume it’s sarcasm
