Smart move by both the Vikings and the Raiders.

Raiders paid Cousins $600K this season, got nine weeks of competent play out of him while giving Mendoza some time to watch, and then flip him for a 3rd.
Well done by that front office.

Don't disagree with the rest, really well done by LV, but didn't the Raiders pay him a $10MM signing bonus too?

I thought the Raiders would demand a 2nd for Cousins and hold the Vikings hostage, I was obviously wrong.

That bonus is payable on the third league day of 2027, so the Vikings are on the hook for it now.

Carson Wentz (8/25, 81 yards, 2 INT) was terrible for Minnesota, posting the worst passer rating (8.9) since Sam Darnold was "seeing ghosts" against the Patriots in 2019 (3.6).

I won't argue with that, I don't watch a lot of football.  Noah was very good in hoops with D.Wade at the Olympics. 

That's true. Wade was great!

I'm no expert but why is Wentz out there?

Ty. 

Google it

Idk man certain teams are missing 80% of their preferred offensive line, or are missing 50% of their preferred defensive line. Or 200% of their preferred linebacking unit.

Anders isn't injured, that's an unforced error

Is that bad? I can't do math (I'm from Mississippi (I work for the Elections Commission))

Good catch.  Even better.

Spytek having a hell of a start to his GM tenure.  Back to back very highly rated drafts, this really nice bit of a business.  Recognizing it was time to cut bait on Pete Carroll.

Though, as is often the case in the NFL, none of that matters if Kubiak and/or Mendoza end up being failures.

They are also paying Geno Smith $16M this year though.
