More and more buzz around Daniel Jones to MIN. Might want to prepare for it. I dont love it, but at this point I dont think he would be worse than Kyler. I would do a 2nd, 3rd and Kyler for Jones and Jonathan Taylor. One of the picks in 2028. That can't hurt the offense. #skol
I doubt it happens before Tuesday, but a Herbert trade to the Vikings in the future is so much more likely than it was just 2 months ago. In season is hard to do but I am all for it. But in March if the Chargers win 2-4 games all season and clear house, makes so much sense. #SKOL
I know it won't happen, but a Derrick Henry trade would be a great option for the Vikings. Henry is on a 1.3m salary this season meaning the Vikings would only be on the hook for ~$700k. He has 1 year and 12m with 0 guaranteed in 2027. 1-2 year rental for a 3rd or 4th round pick?
Might just be moving players around (DeeJay Dallas to 53?), but typically those are announced together. Could be the lead up to an addition through trade.

The former Michigan standout has played in 7 games this season.
Based on other things people on this app have told me, Kyler can't make this throw because one of the LBs will intercept it, or the safety will drop down to grab it, or somehow Kyler doesn't know it is open. These are the things he is missing REGULARLY that are there to be had.
Bahahaha 0 correlation between a good highly paid HC and winning? Did he miss the entire Patriots dynasty? What about what Reid is doing in KC? McVay in LA? Shanahan in SF? Is he trying to say all of those teams have won more than DAL but the HC didn't impact those wins?
#Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on the notion he doesn't spend top-dollar for coaches, via @1053thefan:
“There is zero correlation between how much you pay a coach or how many coaches you have as to winning. There is no correlation. And that’s a random sample of years and all 32 teams involved. So put that in your hopper and smoke it.”
Starting to think this one from @rickeyscoops was not about JT and about something bigger. I could see it being the rumored 2nd and 5th for JT offer I have heard, but the "being finalized" part makes me think its something else...
This! The plays are there for Kyler to hit, he just is so gun shy for whatever reason and refuses to pull the trigger. This is Darnold seeing ghosts in NY level of getting in your own head. Not sure it can be fixed, especially in season.
.@Vikings @Lions this one play showcases the issues with this passing game...This should be a TD by @JJettas2 #BaldysBreakdowns
Possible trade I might be able to get behind for the Vikings.
Jets Get:
Kyler Murray
2027 2nd
2028 5th
Vikings Get:
Geno Smith
Breece Hall
It sounds like it is a bit of a bidding war for Taylor between NYG, SEA, and the Vikings. I am still not giving up a 1st rounder for him (unless it is more of a 1st for 2nd swap), but I would still be all in on a 2nd and 3rd with some day 3 swap(s) to get him. Bet we hear today.
Don't get me wrong, I would be all in on a trade for Jonathan Taylor or Tony Pollard. But at this point its the QB that needs to be better for this offense to succeed. If that's Cousins and he can be had for a 4/5th, do it! And that's coming from a big anti Cousins guy before.
We will never hear it, but I really need an explanation on why KOC and the Vikings thought Kyler was the easily better QB option for this Vikings team over McCarthy. So far nothing Kyler has done shows me why compared to anything we saw from JJ last year or this year in NY.
An offense so bad it let Detroit maintain possession of the ball for 30 of the first 45 mins despite only scoring 12 pts. Cannot do that to this defense especially against a top run game like Detroit. The "we are close" excuse no longer works.
The worst run tackling we may have seen from this Vikings defense in many years. Just plain bad. Not blaming the DEF for a loss today because the offense still sucks, but not a great showing in the 4th quarter at all.
Not sure why you dont kick the FG there. Makes it a 2 point game so only need a FG. But also, what has Kyler shown you that makes you think he could get 4 yards there?
This is unsustainable for the Vikings at this point. Defense has already been on the field for 27 mins with 20 mins left in the game. If Kyler can't even just operate in the offense and take what's given to him, you have to move on and do something different.
