Cousins is already saying he wants to play for the Viks.

The Minnesota Vikings are Kirk Cousins’ top choice in free agency if they’re able to offer him the money he’s looking for, according to a report.

The Redskins trading for Alex Smith earlier this week signaled the end of the Cousins era in Washington. Cousins is likely to be highly sought after by teams desperate to upgrade at quarterback. The Broncos, Jaguars, and Browns could be among the teams bidding for Cousins’ services.

It would be a great situation for him if winning is histop priority.

From what I read the Vikes don’t have the cap space either. But what does the internet know.

Let's go get us the Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles (or at least that is my prediction.) 

 

He was really good in Philly under Kelly, and if Fisher hadn't ruined the kid, he probably would have been a Super Star. I would def take a chance on him. Trade Philly like a second round or third round pick after the Super Bowl and see how the kid competes in training camp. 

 

Why do so many Bills fans Hate good QB play

I would not sacrifice any draft capital for an inconsistent mediocre bridge QB.

 

Calling Foles a "bridge QB" pre-supposes he's actually good enough to be a regular starting QB, which he hasn't demonstrated that he can be since his sophomore season.

Cousins to Vikes that would hopefully spring all 3 of the vikes qb elsewhere

 

then we’d have

keenum, Bradford, Bridgewater, Taylor available

and

jets, Broncos,, cardinals able to swoop them up.

 

anything that puts as many starters on other teams looking for QBs so it makes more of the rookies avialbe to Buffalo.

That would be Mike Glennon x 4.

Those guys are all bridge QB's and the teams that sign them very well could still draft a QB high like Bears did last year.

I'm not sure what Cousins is going to cost, but I'm pretty sure it will be a lot.  Foles is an interesting possibility to me.  I'm not sure he'll be available, but I'm not going to write him off yet.  Apparently, Phillie has a young QB prospect in Nate Sudfeld whose upside they really like.  The question is will he be ready to be the back up next year.  Only the Eagles can make that determination.  Obviously, a lot of things need to happen for Foles to end up in Buffalo, but it's too soon to rule it out.

5 years

$180M

most of it guaranteed

I feel sorry for the team stuck with him and that ridiculous contract. If it's the Jest I'll laugh.

No way is it that much.  I'd be surprised if he got 5 years and $150M.

Can someone fill me in on why Foles was benched/traded after his amazing season in Phily as the starter? His stats, espcially the TD/int ratios were among the top QBs yet he is seen as a mere backup.

 

I can fill you in a bit.

First off, Foles wasn't benched.  He broke his collarbone and went out for the rest of the season in 2014.

 

Short answer, after Foles went down, Sanchez more-or-less played "as well" statistically to finish out the season, so Kelly decided he needed an upgrade at QB for the Eagles to take the next step.  He thought that Bradford, who is an excellent passer and pocket QB, would be that upgrade.  Bradford was not, resulting in Kelly being shipped out instead.

 

Long answer, in 2013 Foles really wasn't "all that and a bag of chips".  His TD and his INT were amazing, but he was only passing for about 220 YPG, and that was the result of some games where he passed for >400 yards, and others where he passed for <200 - one game only 80 yds and got pulled for Matt Barkley.  The gouge on Foles was that he was great when you gave him time, but he would leave plays on the field, and under pressure he would flush out of the pocket instead of stepping into his throwing lanes.  They wanted to see improvement in 2014, and actually they did - more >300 yd games, fewer games <200, average of 270 YPG.  But they also shipped Foles favorite WR out of town - and while he actually got some pretty good WR to replace them, he wasn't as "in sync" which meant more interceptions.

 

I think Philly would have been better off in 2015 if they kept Foles and worked more to develop him, but Kelly wasn't the patient type, so off Foles went (along with LeSean McCoy and some other good players).  Foles got shipped out to purgatory (St Louis Rams) where his play outright sucked, and that completed the view on him as "not good enough".  In hindsight, when you have two "sucked in St Louis" QB facing off in the NFC Championship and taking out QB like Drew Brees and Matt Ryan, I think it's pretty clear that the QB weren't the problem there.

i'm probably going against the grain here, but i think guys likes foles and a.j, may be more focused on being in a winning situation than trying to be the highest paid qb ever. brady is the best qb of all time but he doesn't demand to be no. one in terms of money. i also feel cousins may be of the same mold. the best place for his family....the best  place for him to thrive...the best place for him to make his mark/legacy.

 

everyone assumes these guys are all about greed, but i still believe in some guys having values....and with our fo, just maybe one of those guys feel they want to take buffalo and it's fans to the promised land. something good is about to happen. i believe.
