This is a no frills forum designed for entertaining discussion about our beloved Vikings. Many of us have been discussing Vikings football together for years/decades, resulting in a camaraderie which we strive to preserve.
Looking at another team that's well over the cap... the Miami Dolphins - currently $50 million over the cap.
CB Xavien Howard likely a post 6/1 designated release to save $11 million
Edge Emmanuel Ogbah saves just a hair under $10 million
LB Jerome Baker saves a little less than $5 million.
Those players look like the lowest hanging fruit on their roster.
Post 6/1 doesn’t do anything to get them under the cap. They have to carry his full cap number till June 1st then it comes off the books on the 2nd. It’s why so few teams actually use the post June 1st cuts, by the time to get the cap space, free agency is over.

In that case, the Dolphins are in for a world of hurt. They'll have to look into restructuring Ramsey or Tyreek to get some extra cap space. Maybe extend Tua.
Yeah I saw that and that's fine. We're not winning the super bowl next year so you could plug in Hall for 2 games. If we're bringing in a bridge QB, I think we need to be realistic about what options we would really have with a $28M dead cap hit tied to Kirk. I'm not looking to pay someone $15-20M a year to fill a gap while a rookie gets up to speed.
so other than being bad, injury prone, washed and facing a suspension he's good to go
I mean yeah that's kind of what we have to pick from. If there's some QB out there that isn't those things AND cheap.... sign me up.

plus they have some big free agents of their own to retain. Wilkins, olineman Hunt and Williams and edge Van Ginkle are all up for new deals

The problem they have is that is what they are doing. Just looking over the cap for them quick… 6 players have a cap hit over 20m, 4 of them already have restructured prior… base salaries are low on a lot of them so they don’t get much relief.
I feel like I need to preface every comment about whichever QB with it really depends on the $$$... But I wouldn't be opposed to Jimmy G as a bridge guy. And I could see him being realistically cheap in a prove it type deal.
The Saints are $83 million over the cap today. But Mickey Loomis their GM is a wizard at this by now. Every year they're wildly over the cap, then you blink and somehow they have $40 million in cap space.
if you would have told me 3 years ago we could get Wilson as a free agent I would have been extatic. Not so much now
3 years ago Kirk was under contract with us and Russell wasn't a FA in 2021 but that's beside my point. Why would you want another FA QB starting for the Vikings?

just a hypothetical my man
Oh ok.
If we were in a position to draft any college QB prospect in April who would you want?
