Aaron Rodgers or Kirk

[Wolvesfan21]

It's a interesting topic now, since the Vikes haven't signed a backup QB yet and they continue to get picked up.

I have 100% faith in JJ, but I wouldn't hate Rodgers here either as the week 1 starter. You never know with a young guy how he'll turn out / possibly get hurt again. If things don't go well then you can quickly pivot to JJ. It's a long season.

Kirk would be a nice backup also if he's released, which seems likely. My guess is they are waiting for Kirk to be released honestly. So that is my guess.

Kirk does seem like the most likely scenario. I believe tomorrow is the deadline for Atlanta to release Kirk or be on the hook for another 10 mil in salary. Apparently Kirk knows his best opportunities out there are as a backup. He knows the KOC system and he and his family are familiar with the area. He would be dirt cheap since Atlanta is already on the hook for next year's salary, and why wouldn't he want to "stick it" to the team that screwed him over!

Welcome home, Kirk. I would not be a fan if he was brought in as a starter. But a willing backup is another story.

Same, I'm a Kirk fan at the right price and now position. It's always been about him being overpaid relatively to his production. One playoff win in 6 years was it? Not good enough. The goal is to win the SB.

Had he been paid appropriately just maybe we sign a stud G and DT for instance with that extra money to beef up the lines and all of a sudden we are a SB contender.

I wonder if he even sold his old house yet? It could be another factor for him just easily move back with little hassel. He knows the team, area, people, etc.. It's pretty appealing for him and us.

Looks like Atlanta wants to play hardball for anyone who wants Kirk Cousins. It will be interesting to see if the Vikings wait it out, or turn to another direction.

I'm not really sure on the details, but I know they paid him a roster bonus of 10 million. I don't think we can trade for him without picking up most of his bloated salary. I THINK Kirk is going to stay in ATL for at least this year. Maybe a team who needs a starter gets desperate during camp or something or maybe whoever between NY and Pitt misses Rodgers may jump in on trading for Kirk. I think him as a backup here isn't happening, if I understand the money a bit. He'd be too pricey.
