KAM Addresses Cousins, Jefferson, Hockenson Contract Situations

Jefferson:

“Ongoing dialogue. I believe we’ll speak with his representatives again soon. We just got back to training camp, Right? There is no rush, per se. ” said Adofo-Mensah. “ When we got here there was certain types of players you want around. Players who love football, are great at football, make their teammates better and just have that winning spirit. I’ll never forget when I first met him, he just talked about winning. And that’s what you want around. So, when you identify players like that you try and find solutions to keep them around. We will do that as best we can as we go forward.”

Cousins:

“We’ve had great conversations with Kirk and his representatives, Mike and AJ. Ultimately, when you sit across the table from somebody, you try and understand their perspective and make sure they understand yours.” Adofo-Mensah said. That’s how our conversations were. It was never a type of thing where it was combative or ‘yes or no.’ It was right now we can’t come to a solution that fits both of our perspectives. We always knew that we were going to keep coming back to the table and conversing about where we see these things and ultimately try and find a decision that works for both parties. We have a vision of being one of the last teams standing.”

“The quarterback position is extremely important, but it is no different in terms of being able to prepare for any plans. There is a certain level that you need to have to win a championship, and it’s all about working within those confines to put a team around them,” continued Adofo-Mensah.

Hock:

“Great dialogue with his agent. We spoke recently as well. I actually called T.J. in when he got here. Again, another person that fits what we want as a Vikings long term and we’re going to try and find a solution to that as well,” said Adobe-Mensah.
