Is Darnold your guy or not? If so, pay him, trade JJ and use the 1st rounder to build around Darnold. A stud 1st round running back would look pretty damn good with Jefferson, Addison and Hockenson.


Haven't we proved multiple times over that you don't need to draft a stud RB in the first round(s)?

I just don't think they have to be in a hurry to trade McCarthy. They can give Darnold a Geno/Baker type deal that secures quality QB play for a season or two, and let McCarthy do a Montana/Young or Favre/Rodgers/Love type of deal.

Sure seems to be a bit of a resurgence at the running back position IMO. An elite talent at running back like a Saquon Barkley, Bijan Robinson etc to pair with Jefferson, Addison and Hockenson would be pretty damn ridiculous. Not saying there is that caliber of back in the draft. If I was a Vikings fan, I just don't think I'd want a 1st round draft pick sitting on the bench in prime Justin Jefferson years. Go after it!

Guess you didn’t see how their deals were structured. Basically, the guaranteed $$$ gave TB option of releasing Baker after just one season, with a $30 million cap hit, or keeping him for a second season then cutting him instead of playing him for a third season. Genos iirc is similar.

No, I didn't look those deals up, but I still don't see why Baker would take it. Baker is no longer a reclamation project. Why would he voluntarily take a one year deal?

Make the Vikings offer at least a three year deal, force the Viks to use the tag, or go to some team that will offer a long term deal.

It’s not a 1-yr deal. It’s a 3-yr deal, but designed to allow the team to walk away from it relatively easily after each year.

And baker did sign it.

Ok.



I guess my confusion was when you said they should sign him for a season or two as opposed to giving him a three year deal...

And I think Darnold is in a stronger position than when Baker signed his deal.

I guess we'll find out.

Agree that Darnold is 100 percent in a stronger position than Baker. It's a weak QB market, there are plenty of teams that are going to have cap space that need a QB, and the league is QB-starved.

Yeah smart money is sign him for 2 to 3 years. But i doubt his camp allows it. Draft another wr. Mentor jj then trade him at end.of his contract if you think jj has improved.
