Minnesota Vikings News Dump (2.8.2026) | Super Bowl, Kurt Cousins Reunion, SkoLSU

21 comments

1. With all of the backup QB options out there, I see nobody talking about Zach Wilson.

2. How is wentzs rehabilitation going?

3. Coffin corner kick.

4. Dump KOC.

5. I’m fine bringing back Cousins. He will push McCarthy for the starting job. If McCarthy is the QB we hope him to become, he wins the job. Cousins is a guy that can keep things going if there is an injury. Plus Cousins wouldn’t be a cancer in the locker room.

6. Many in my circle believe the Vikings have become a Meme Franchise under the current regime. I do believe the Wilfs are going to turn the screws on KOC to win a playoff game and build a productive, resilient offense.

7. Is it any wonder that this franchise has never won a championship. In 1961 I was seven years old living in Bloomington or Bummington as we called it as teenagers. I’ve seen it all. One incompetent mistake after another. JJ will be good just not with the Vikings. If I’m his agent I’m requesting a trade and I don’t blame him.

8. It would be hilarious if Kirko gets a 25-30MM/yr 3-yr contract to head up the Jets then the Jets take a QB in the first round 😂😂

9. JJ cant stay on the field. I dont care how good his arm is. He is. weak and I wanted it to work.

10. Capt Kirk will agree to terms with Vikes to 'finish' his career as a Viking. Then his agent finds another team to pay a few more bucks and then it's 'see ya' suckers. Deja vu. If KC does sign, better & cheap vet QB than CW to push/mentor JJ in koc's O.

11. After reading/listening about James Pierce Jr. my opinion of Jordan Addison has completely changed. Yes, he got arrested again but in comparison he’s not a monster like JPJ.

12. they don't call it clipping anynore it is usually block in the back

13. Cousins was a disaster since day 1. He took Vikings to just above mediocre. And he drained the bank. Cousins wasn't worth the money. Reminds me of the Hershel Walker trade. One guy was going to take Vikings to a SB.
    I hope Vikings come up with a better option.
    Please stop with the JJ excuses. No more overhyping. We all hope for the best. But his mechanics need work. So far he has been injury prone. Etc. We'll see if Vikings can build a team around him.
    The Vikings saga continues.

14. The worst Super Bowl as a Vikings fan was when Rich Gannon played against Brad Johnson.

15. Like it or not, Cousins is probably the best option. Veteran. Familiar. Better than "most" available options out there. Will push JJ to complete for the job. Won't be a locker room cancer. I can see it happening. Can't believe I'm saying it, but hopes he makes a cap friendly deal.

    Giving up on JJ this soon will likely be another huge blunder in Vikings long history of blunders. He's already starting to look better than Darnold in his first few years. He WILL only get better.

    Going all in on Burrow is very high risk / high reward and very costly for the entire team… It's the Vikings, so risk usually comes, not the reward. 😅 Imagine completely selling out for him only for him to go down early in the season or have a career ending injury… and with his injury history and our oline history, it seem very probable…. I'm riding with JJ/Cousins and hoping JJ can overcome his own injury prone label. Still too early to tell if it was random flukes or if he really is injury prone…. and besides, could we even afford a decent backup if they went all in on Burrow?

16. Bring back CPT Kirk. JJ is still unproven, health wise and otherwise. I think it would help JJ to have a good mentor backing him up. Kurt knows his role as a backup, he knows the offense and he knows how to feed Justin Jefferson.

17. Maye is gonna win. Conspiracy is becoming more real. Twice now the sanpaku eyes is the tip for the winning player. Same thing was done for all of Jake Paul’s fights. Darnold/Maye happened to be closest to the SB stadium in the SB mural before the season started while Maye being the closer player. All signs say Patriots, but I want Sam to win it!

18. There is no SEC west 😂

19. We'll see if it turns around. But man, his first 2 seasons are riddle with injuries. IDK, you keep saying it, if Darnold was here we wouldn't have won or go to superbowl. How do you know? The biggest problem was QB play. You can't keep blaming the O line for poor QB play. Dude it was all season, QB play sucked.

20. Cousins is probably the best option. Familiarity with the system and a lower cost are important.

21. I remember after that Packers victory Stephen A saying "pump the brakes on Sam Darnold". Now he's saying why'd the Vikings let him go?
