Minnesota had a lot of turnover this offseason. Despite Yahoo’s Frank Schwab saying that Kirk Cousins was one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL last season, he thinks the Vikings may be in for some regression.
Here’s what he said:
“And the odds of this being the Super Bowl season with Cousins got a lot longer in the offseason.
The way the Vikings structured deals, they had a two-year window with Cousins before they entered salary-cap hell. The first year resulted in a very disappointing 8-7-1 finish, and the second year was 10-6 with one playoff win and a terrible performance in a loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round. The Vikings, who lost in the NFC championship game the year before signing Cousins, took a big swing for a title and seem a lot further away from the Super Bowl now.”
Schwab later said that it looks like the Vikings are rebuilding but only with half the roster.
