Reuniting with quarterback Kirk Cousins makes sense. If that were to occur, general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and the other front office members of the Vikings would have to excel in the NFL draft because this roster is riddled with weaknesses.
The quarterback position for the Vikings has been a moving target ever since Kirk Cousins tore his Achilles tendon. Will they be able to fill the several deficiencies on defence through the draft if they re-sign him to a big contract?
Something Adofo-Mensah mentioned during the trade deadline comes to mind when considering the intricate web the organisation finds itself in. There was a sense of impending dread since cousins had just sustained a season-ending injury. Adofo-Mensah was questioned on how decisions about whether to try to re-sign Cousins this offseason will be influenced by his impressive performances before to his Achilles tendon injury.
That day, he said, “I think it’s not just me that wants Kirk to come back.” “It’s a negotiation.”
Folks, there it is. the main idea of the whole conversation. How much does it cost to get your cousins back? Unquestionably, that response will have an impact on the roster overhaul.
Anyone who has witnessed the Great QB Shuffle of 2023, to put it simply in football terms, should want Cousins back. Nick Mullens was selected to start in the regular-season finale in Detroit on Wednesday, but does it really matter who starts at this point—Mullans, Jaren Hall, or Joshua Dobbs? Just put a stop to it.
The Vikings defence, which was able to hide its true nature through deceit during the middle part of the season because to coordinator Brian Flores’ creative scheme, has collapsed in the last month of the season. That defence lacks depth and difference-makers.
Adofo-Mensah selected defence with three of his first four selections in his first draft in 2022. These three guys, linebacker Brian Asamoah II, cornerback Andrew Booth Jr., and safety Lewis Cine, hardly have an effect. In just two years, Adofo-Mensah has selected eight defensive players. There wouldn’t be as much unease regarding the salary cap if that group displayed more positive indicators.
