Questionable source though.
SOURCES: The Vikings and Rams are in serious trade talks for Matthew Stafford.
Minnesota made a push to trade for Stafford this offseason but are now revisiting with the idea that he can be the piece to help them win a Super Bowl this season. pic.twitter.com/K9fHC0QPg7
Our 4th that becomes a 3rd (or a second) based on incentives. Is that possible?
I also don't understand why these teams are so concerned with not trading shit. Like if I'm the Panthers I'd be unloading anything that's not tied down.
I'd go tell my fans, "They drafted a midget QB who isn't good, we're gonna tear this down to the studs and build it up". [Reply]
Cooper? Pfffft! Dude is the walking wounded. He can’t be trusted or relied upon to remain healthy. Get him only if the Rams pay his salary and it costs us a 7th rounder. [Reply]

It's a little more important. But this isn't our last year to be contenders. It's not even close. We've probably got the better part of another decade with Patrick Mahomes as our quarterback. We need to be continually reloading through the draft. Kupp is not worth a first round pick. I could get on board with Pick 64 but that's it. [Reply]

I don’t think they’re giving up on him. I think they’re probably just being very realistic about Sam. Right now, the Vikings are probably a lock for the playoffs as currently constructed. But if you’re being realistic about Darnold, and his stats lines appear to back this up, you know Sam is a limited QB that probably won’t rise to the level needed to win a SB.
Stanford not only is just a much better QB in all physical respects, he’s also been there. Stafford makes them serious SB contenders. They see an opportunity to win it all right now. [Reply]

Yeah, I have no clue why anyone thinks this would be close to a smart idea. The guy hasn't been healthy in several years and he's 31. It's not like guys start getting healthier after they turn 30.
I would've been 100% on board a few seasons ago. But McVay has been overusing him for years now, which is why he has those injury issues. I mean, in his last full season, Kupp was targeted nearly 200 times, fcs. Of course, Andy wouldn't target him anywhere near 15+ times a game, but the damage appears to have been done at this point.
Bottom line, there's a lot of potential reward in acquiring Kupp, but there's also a ton of risk. [Reply]
