Vikings Firesale?

[TheProcess]

The Vikings have traded Yannick Ngakoue for a 3rd and 5th round picks just months after sending a 2nd and 5th for him. The Vikings are going nowhere this year or in the near future. The Vikings organization is about to be in cap hell, and no way out of that Cousins contract. Is todays trade the start of a firesale?  If so, i wonder what they would ask in return for Kendricks? That guy would solve our MLB issue quickly!

They also have the youngster Irv Smith from Alabama, but doubt they trade him. He us the kind of young, cheap talent they need to keep. Maybe they look to trade Thielen?

I want no part of that contract

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he just traded to them this offseason?

If so, damn.

I doubt it’s a fire sale. They traded for him to help bolster their pass rush but their team ended up being terrible this year. He was on a one year contract and wasn’t going to re-sign because he has wanted to go to the Ravens since he asked to be traded from the Jags.
 

Vikings were very lucky to recoup some of their losses because no one was trading for Yannik since its known he only wants to sign with Baltimore. Ravens could have waited until the offseason but he filled a huge pass rushing need for them.

May not be, but they would be wise to dump as much as possible and reload. That team is in cap hell with big contracts. They had a good run with some good years, but its looking like that run is over.

They fuged up royally guaranteeing Kirk Cousins almost 70 million over the next two years.

Vikings are an example of why you are patient when building your team and you don't rush to "win-now."  Even if you think Cousins is better than the media gave him credit for (and I am one of those people - Cousins was underrated), that contract was just stupid.  Vikings didn't need to spend that kind of $ on a QB.  And it's never worked out for them.  They have never been as good again as they were in 2017.

Gutted their strength (defense) to pay an average QB who doesn't show up in big games. WTF do these GM's be thinking?

Yes, and then turn around and gave Cook that huge deal. That team is in it big time, and to think that the salary cap will probably decrease next year due to the Covid affect of limited fans this year. They really would be smart to sale off as much as possible, grab draft picks, and rebuild.

You're better off drafting QBs than playing the FA lotto these days.

Multiple high dollar free agents almost never work out....

Maybe we can trade Stephen Weatherly back to them.
