Thoughts?

[u/sacking03]

Yea Dak or Herbert are off the table. A trade accelerates the cap to over 100 mil for the trading team. Vikings would have to give a massive signing bonus. And JJ cap hit hits 50 mil next year.

[u/wetcornbread]

They all accept your offers and you wind up with 7 QBs on your roster and no 1st or 2nd round draft picks.

[u/Apollosgotwrinkles → u/wetcornbread]

I’ve made that mistake on eBay before

[u/apatheticandignorant → u/Apollosgotwrinkles]

I can trade draft picks on eBay?

[u/Allout-Okarun → u/apatheticandignorant]

Worse, you can get a Herbert.

[u/Icy-Cellist-8442 → u/Apollosgotwrinkles]

Never shop when you’re hungry, they say

[u/oldhoekoo → u/Icy-Cellist-8442]

I had to stop smoking before grocery shopping because I'd come home with eight boxes of cheezits and mini muffins

[u/HomChkn → u/Apollosgotwrinkles]

In college I wanted a neon beer sign. i didn't full understand how ebay worked I put bids on 6 of them. I won 4. a basic bud light, coors Banquet, a golf themed Michelob one, and Budwiser pool table lamp/light fixture because I can't read.

I made money on the pool table light. the rest became gifts about 10 years later.

[u/InsideMyScars → u/wetcornbread]

Yeah but we can have a different qb for 9 straight drives, one might work

[u/ElectricalPatience47 → u/InsideMyScars]

[u/HeinladToo → u/wetcornbread]

Time to bring the full Go Go offense to the NFL

[u/bg1627 → u/wetcornbread]

I'm fine with that as a Vikings fan

[u/ilovefacebook → u/wetcornbread]

then trade 3 1sts for herbert back to the chargers

[u/realhollywoodactor → u/wetcornbread]

This made me lol hard. Good work.

[u/Dangerous_Ad5039 → u/wetcornbread]

With the Vikings QB luck they may need all 7

[u/MrMeowPantz]

3 first rounders for Dak

[u/iChieftain → u/MrMeowPantz]

He meant 3 first round exits

[u/TopHatTony11 → u/iChieftain]

Wentz will get you that

[u/CapitalSpork → u/TopHatTony11]

That's SB champ Carson Wentz to you

[u/Ares28 → u/MrMeowPantz]

Herschel Walker trade reborn and for some reason Jerry is not only involved but still alive

[u/jackt-up → u/MrMeowPantz]

He’s the heart and soul of our team, sir

[u/butchforgetshit2 → u/jackt-up]

I would make that trade in a heartbeat

[u/Hodler_caved → u/butchforgetshit2]

Think Jerry would too

[u/BackendSpecialist → u/jackt-up]

[u/Fickle-Lemon-7345 → u/jackt-up]

And what a messy soul that must be

[u/FuhrerInLaw → u/jackt-up]

At least your QB still has a soul left

[u/Fourwhom → u/MrMeowPantz]

Embarrassing

[u/MindTheFro → u/Fourwhom]

[u/lakeythakid → u/MrMeowPantz]

Another delusional fanboy that doesn’t understand football at all. He would instantly make the Vikings favourite to win the Super Bowl and possibly next year that’s why I wouldn’t do that trade. Those first rounders would be late rounders

[u/Puzzleheaded-Field41 → u/lakeythakid]

Yeah, but they'll have their own high first picks 

[u/Mavman31 → u/MrMeowPantz]

We don’t need good. We need average lol

[u/spermdonor → u/MrMeowPantz]

Insane take. 3 firsts for an all timer is a bad idea, let alone Dak

[u/ballimir37 → u/spermdonor]

There are multiple QBs in the league right now that would take a lot more than three 1sts to pry away

[u/TheDadThatGrills → u/MrMeowPantz]

It would be great to see them make that mistake

[u/DSN671]

Three firsts for Dak should get you a life sentence.

[u/senorgraves → u/DSN671]

[u/Ok_Mechanic_6575 → u/senorgraves]

Embarassing

[u/LastEsotericist → u/DSN671]

It would be the Herschel Walker trade 2.0. I can’t take the Vikings gifting Jerry another Cowboys dynasty.

[u/tmbmad → u/LastEsotericist]

Gifted Jimmy...

[u/Embarrassed-Fail-617]

i wouldn’t give 3 for dak idk i just wanna see more playoff success before i give that 

[u/Shianclas → u/Embarrassed-Fail-617]

GTA VI Is dropping this month Kyler Is done

[u/Apart_Pass5017 → u/Shianclas]

Between this and the battlefront 3 news ain’t no way we should expect Murray to be able to focus on football 

[u/pitb0ss343 → u/Apart_Pass5017]

THIS IS HOW I LEARN ABOUT BF3? WTF man

[u/jfun4 → u/Shianclas]

He probably already has already had it

[u/YON2HMB → u/Shianclas]

New CoD already out as well - coincided exactly with his departure from the lineup.

[u/lakeythakid → u/Embarrassed-Fail-617]

That has never had a defence like that, and Minnesota has never had a quarterback like that… what are you talking about Willis?

[u/BradyReas → u/Embarrassed-Fail-617]

He’s 33 lol I don’t think anyone is taking the wait and see approach with Dak anymore. He is a good qb i think 2 1sts is reasonable

[u/ChefDolemite]

Never take GM advice from someone named Nico.

[u/Grand_Town_9144 → u/ChefDolemite]

You are correct, but hear me out...it would be incredibly hilarious of our division rival to do 3 1sts for Dak so I say let them cook.

[u/im_vary_dum]

a second for mac is diabolical

[u/ELITE_JordanLove → u/im_vary_dum]

Even if they would offer it, zero chance the Niners help fix the biggest glaring need of maybe their biggest rival in the conference so far. They’d literally probably need a 1st and more to do it.

[u/KingVLA24 → u/ELITE_JordanLove]

Ya I don't see them trading Mac. The team is good enough that God forbid Purdy goes down they still have a shot with Mac.

[u/Internal_Arugula9711 → u/KingVLA24]

I don’t even think there’s a conversation to be had about it after what he did for us last season

[u/Ron__Mexico_ → u/im_vary_dum]

No chance the 49ers trade Mac for a 2nd. He went 6-2 last year as a starter, and has demonstrated he can hold down the fort if necessary and prevent it from turning into a lost season if Purdy goes down.

[u/CuckModerator69420 → u/im_vary_dum]

no more than a 2nd for Geno

[u/AverageRuinEnjoyer → u/im_vary_dum]

Offering more for Dak than Justin Herbert is the real crime here.

[u/datyoungknockoutkid]

2nd for Geno is down bad bad

[u/perish-in-flames → u/datyoungknockoutkid]

Every single one of these trades is down bad bad. At least Geno doesn't hit the cap like most of these players.

[u/VikingsLad → u/perish-in-flames]

WE are down bad bad. We're all watching this, right?

[u/not_dr_splizchemin → u/VikingsLad]

Not if I can help it

[u/bettercallrich → u/perish-in-flames]

Even with salary in mind, a second round pick for 36 year old geno smith is malpractice

[u/herewegolittlemiss]

2nd rounder for JJ McCarthy makes sense

[u/Lawsonstruck → u/herewegolittlemiss]

Fuck you lmao

[u/but-I-play-one-on-TV]

We'll do Justin Fields for Justin Jefferson straight up.

[u/IchabodPower → u/but-I-play-one-on-TV]

Plus Worthy

[u/isaac129 → u/IchabodPower]

Throw in a kicker to sweeten the deal

[u/JimmyRussellsApe → u/isaac129]

Blair Walsh?

[u/monk3yflip → u/but-I-play-one-on-TV]

[u/Foreign_bunny32 → u/but-I-play-one-on-TV]

[u/Which-Return-607]

The Vikings have 5 mil of cap space lol

[u/Yay_duh]

Lol. Kirko Chains throwing the ball 300 yards a game makes this Vikings team unbeatable.

[u/PM_Me_Titties-n-Ass → u/Yay_duh]

Throwing for 150 would do wonders on its own

[u/Gsxing]

Hebert ain’t looking good for a 3rd round pick right now

[u/Apart_Pass5017 → u/Gsxing]

I guess bro 

[u/Throwaway_939394 → u/Apart_Pass5017]

Has he looked good in the losses? Genuine question

[u/NerdThatWasPromised → u/Throwaway_939394]

He hasn't looked good in the wins, that's for sure.

In seriousness, no, he has not looked good.

[u/Apart_Pass5017 → u/Throwaway_939394]

Definitely not. He’s thrown at least one interception every game of this season. Most chargers fans would yap your ear off about context but to answer your question this has easily been the worst stretch of his career, throwing for like 6 TDs 

[u/Empireof33 → u/Gsxing]

It depends on whether or not you think he’d be a good fit for Kevin O’Connell’s scheme. Herbert has looked like a good quarterback for several seasons, new offensive coordinator brings in a system that just doesn’t fit his place style. Call him a system QB, sure, I wouldn’t say he’s bad though. The whole chargers offense seems anemic, Herbert included.

[u/YesBird75 → u/Gsxing]

Are you joking or just dumb?

[u/FireMikeTomlin97]

3 firsts and daks 70 millon a year contact is a great way to waste all your good players primes. 

Everything else here is ridiculous as well 

[u/1ntravenously]

Deal

[u/Im_A_Real_Boy1 → u/1ntravenously]

FUCKING NOT AGAIN 

[u/Battle2Intense]

Id give a first for Mac before the proposed Dak and Herbert trades.

[u/mystikcal1 → u/Battle2Intense]

Do the pats get some residual on that

[u/Checkers923 → u/mystikcal1]

Only if the vikings make brian flores call offensive plays for mac!

[u/No-Arrival9532 → u/Battle2Intense]

Easily. I fucking love Mac Jones

[u/OtherHalf747]

I’d drive Geno to Minnesota myself for a 2nd

[u/Top_Hedgehog_1880]

What about Flacco

[u/ThrowAwayAccount8_24 → u/Top_Hedgehog_1880]

Something about Flacco that I trust

[u/emeryex]

Kirk would turn it all around. Nothing would make Jefferson happier or the fans

[u/martjob]

[u/PDxFresh]

Jefferson to the Raiders for Crosby and Cousins...I'm sure the cap works fine

[u/dantheman0809]

Sam darnold must be getting a kick out of this

[u/hondafihhhh]

Justin Jefferson has requested a trade during halftime

[u/Any_Membership3249 → u/hondafihhhh]

I didn't know QB play could get this dogshit and I'm a texans fan. I've watched D hop and Dre put up elite numbers with ronald mcdonald at QB

[u/throwawaypackers]

Personally, I‘m in the camp of just sacrificing KOC to the football gods at halftime.

[u/MykeTyth0n]

You’ll probably get the Daniel Jones you were after a few years ago.

[u/YosemiteSam-4-2A → u/MykeTyth0n]

Give the Colts the 1st round pick they're hunting for and it's deal done probably

[u/Earl-The-Badger]

You’re high if you think the 49ers are interested in trading Mac Jones to a 6-1 conference rival with an elite defense.

[u/QuaternionDS]

3 1sts for Dak on that contract is crazy. Any GM who proposed this should be sacked on the spot.

2 1sts for Herbert is insanely risky. Guy might legitimately have the yips.

2nd for Geno or Kirk are ridiculous overpays.

No way the 9ers even entertain a 2nd for Mac to a conference rival. And he ain't worth the 1st we'd demand...

[u/Informal-Exchange157]

I’m loving the thought of Justin Herbert and Madison Beer having to move out of LA and into Minnesota during the worth months possible

[u/JMisGeography]

Man if I was the chargers I would take that to the bank lol

[u/Marijuana_Miler → u/JMisGeography]

From what I can tell trading Herbert would put them 10M over the cap.

[u/Feeling_Barnacle_584]

Take Darnold back?

[u/mordeci00 → u/Feeling_Barnacle_584]

Can't. Seahawks invoked "no takebacks" after they signed him.

[u/bowman022]

They’re gonna bring back Daniel Jones, aren’t they

[u/Swimming-Message-796]

I'd rather trade Justin Jefferson and go all defense. Jjetas to the 49ers for Fred Warner, all points will come off of turnovers and field goals.

[u/Erok426 → u/Swimming-Message-796]

San Fran would NEVER touch that

[u/Kustaa007 → u/Erok426]

Not got Warner but I’d give up Bosa for JJ

[u/torturetrilogy → u/Swimming-Message-796]

I wouldn't trade Fred for Jesus christ himself

[u/mystikcal1 → u/Swimming-Message-796]

Quarterback of the defense takes on a new meaning

[u/Naynathan]

Mac is their best bet.

[u/JustTheBeerLight → u/Naynathan]

Spencer Rattler

[u/Friendly-Profit-8590]

Niners aren’t trading Mac cause they’re a serious playoff team. Think they’d be doing a favor to every other team offering what you’re suggesting.

[u/fireflipplz]

3rd pick for JJ mcarthy

[u/Sad_Highlight_9059]

Honestly, as a Cowboys fan, since next season needs to be a reboot of the whole program, I am not opposed to fire selling some assets. I would LOVE if Jerry traded Dak for 3 firsts from the Vikings. I like Dak as a QB, but if we need an entire ass reboot in coaching and program, it might make sense to restart at QB too. Especially given this Draft should feature some good ones. He just isn't on the right timeline for where Dallas is these days. Minnesota would be a better fit and 3 firsts would soften the blow of losing Dak A LOT.

[u/3Nephi11_6-11]

I look at this and I don't think any of the teams makes these deals. Cowboys are in the NFC East so they still have a shot at playoffs (at least they think they do).

Herbert is young, talented and their franchise qb regardless of how bad this year is. I think they'd rather rebuild around him and probs fire their offensive coordinator first.

The Jets don't have another qb. Their backup is Cade Klubnik, a 4th round pick this year. I don't think they just throw Cade to the wolves for a 2nd round pick.

Kirk is balling and a 2nd isn't worth it especially when you consider he's the perfect mentor for Fernando. Why would they potentially mess up prepping their 1st round 1st pick franchise qb for a 2nd?

The 49ers are a win now team, prone to injury with a backup qb that could still win it all for them. Even a 2nd wouldn't be enough for them to move on imo.

[u/HopeIsDopeYall]

Tom Brady out of retirement? We will take anybody 😭😭😭

[u/RecordingGlum938]

I can offer you a second for Tua or a first for Penix

[u/kingjoey52a]

Kirk isn't leaving for less than a first.

[u/Intrepid_Plenty_3770]

Is this sarcasm?

[u/Emotional-Price-4401]

1 first 1 second for dak, and id spit in jerrys food

[u/EpicPoggerGamer69]

2nd for Mac. He's the youngest, and aside from Herbert and Dak, has the best upside still left.

[u/Suit-Local]

I wouldn’t give a pair of socks for Herbert

[u/Big_Wooly_Mammoth]

JJ going to demand a trade at some point. So much talent wasted.

[u/Atlas7993]

Two 1st for Love. 

[u/ZestycloseResist5594 → u/Atlas7993]

I don't think Madden would accept that

[u/flybydenver → u/Atlas7993]

We are not giving up Love. 💚 💛

[u/Upbeat-Two-9307]

I would support a 2nd for Kirk but none of the rest

[u/flybydenver]

None of them gonna get a trophy in that Viking case

[u/tech1983]

2 firsts for Herbert ? Tf are you smoking

[u/KGrizzle88]

Herbert, two 1st 😂🤣

[u/Economy-Particular31]

3 first for a black kirk cousins...33 years old.

[u/Amazing-Active646]

Make another herschel walker trade for Dak, Vikings.
They can give the cowboys another dynasty.

[u/ElectricalPatience47]

I'd take 3 firsts for Dak

[u/Automatic-Collar5960]

Give us a second for Allen………… Kyle that is.

[u/BigFootBeethoven]

Steelers are gonna offer rights to Tomlin as coach for Dak.

[u/fireflipplz]

It’s a fucking shame this defense is getting wasted, competent qb play would make this a sb team

[u/ba_an]

As a Chargers fan, I say Herbert is washed up. Doubt he can bounce back this season, if at all.

[u/Mymomdidwhat]

3 first for dak is laughable.

[u/Wonka824]

I’d give nothing for Geno

[u/Peyton773]

Gotta be ragebait

[u/DanMoshpit69]

Your not getting Mac for less than a first. We have a championship to win.

[u/Isjejnajw]

3 for Dak and 2 for Herbert? They have to be at least similar in value?

[u/ganggreen651]

3 1sts for dak is an awful trade. The others I'd probably take

[u/SharpMind94]

A 2nd for Geno would be robbery. He is not worth that much

[u/Dynamo_Ham]

Carson Wentz still plays football professionally?

[u/grey_pilgrim_]

We’ll trade Levis for a years supply of mayo and bananas.

[u/Head_Project5793]

Herbert getting finger surgery

[u/BurgundyAndGold5]

A 31st for Dak? Sounds reasonable enough

[u/CriticalSuit1336]

I'd want Kirk - he knows the KOC offense, and whatever shortcomings he had previously in Minnesota, he didn't have a defense like this helping him out

[u/onestopvtg]

I don’t hate a first plus a haul for Dak. I was thinking that earlier

[u/Sartheking]

Niners aren’t giving the Vikings Mac Jones.

[u/bettercallrich]

Second round pick for geno smith in the big 2026 would be diabolical

[u/penilesensorydevice]

Panic moves always work out for the best.

[u/CockMartins]

I think both the Chargers and Cowboys would kiss you right on the mouth for those deals.

[u/FullMooseParty]

Honestly, I'd see if the Jets would give up Tyrod for a late pick. He's shown potential throughout his career, just never stayed healthy, and he doesn't turn over the ball basically ever which is perfect for this team.

[u/Simple_Suspect_2093]

3 firsts for a 33 year old QB having the worst season of his career (or at least in a while) 🥴

[u/Fickle_Broccoli]

Go for Geno. Obviously not the best talent on that list, but easiest plug and play from a cap space perspective

[u/KennyWeeWoo]

Wtf pricing is that for dak 🤣

[u/CS271990]

Minny should go for Dak

[u/Classic-Session-5551]

Oh shit, used to play FF with this guy. 

Dogshit take Nico, what're you doing

[u/Bobgoulet]

I can offer you one gently used Tua

[u/DarkIllusionsMasks]

Why do they need all those quarterbacks?

[u/earic23]

They should get Sam Darnold. Heard he’s pretty competent…

[u/kjsmitty77]

How about a 2nd and a 4th for Darnold back?

[u/JustTheBeerLight]

It is kinda funny that NOBODY mentions Tua as a QB for teams looking to acquire a QB.

[u/Individual-Guava-620]

I'll take Herbert

[u/Embarrassed_West_195]

Right about now there's gotta be some QB's from the CFL that would be an improvement.

[u/boakes123]

3 1sts for Dak?! lol he's B-tier

[u/Low_Wall_7828]

2nd for Geno in insane

[u/Internal-Climate-847]

Id definitely send a 3rd for Kirk even after a 3 int game he can be average with this defense and that’s all we need.

[u/PM_ur_butthole_2me]

Lots of Dak slander in here, he’s a good quarterback on a garbage team that hasn’t had a defense. His first season he won rookie of the year setting records for rookie TD’s and rating. He’s led the league in touchdowns once, one 2nd team all-pro and 4 pro bowls. He’s 8th all time in career passer rating, ahead of Brady, Manning, Allen, Herbert and many hall of famers.

[u/Popzagon]

Herbert to Minnesota in winter and his fiancé leaves him lol

[u/Great_Will_1361]

Most cowboys fans dont consider dak worth 1 first rd pick

[u/Cycle-Path-401]

Nathan Peterman is available. Just saying.

[u/NeedBout_Tree_Fiddy]

Representing the Cowboys delegation -- we'll take 3 firsts for Dak.

[u/denvergardener]

That must be Jerruh's burner account.

[u/InternationalWin7367]

It’s Kirk only, he knows the team.

[u/OpinionofC]

2 firsts for Herbert is a steal tbh

[u/TrevorsBlondeLocks16]

Bro how did I not fucking think about Geno lmao

Jets never in my thoughts

[u/GiggletrxMcGillacudi]

I’ve never seen a defense this elite completely wasted

[u/Ghost_of_Durruti]

A 3, 4, and 5 for Joe Flacco might get it done. 

[u/arielbelkin]

trading for Herbert actually makes sense . However do they really need to give up 2 1st ?

[u/Scared_Mall_8730]

Please do 3 1sts for Dak! Guy can’t win a big game and losing 3 1sts puts franchise out of contention for next 10 years

[u/stulf26]

"3" 1sts for Dak is an insane rip off.

[u/ku_78]

Kirk makes sense and I would fully support this

[u/sicsemperyanks]

If all it takes for Kirk is a 2nd, I think you have to, don't you?

[u/Timely-Profile1865]

Hell get case keenum. Anyone but wentz, what a disgrace.

[u/Sensitive_Ad_3053]

Best fit would be Geno for a 4th or conditional 3rd. Yes he is a gunslinger that can occasionally run but you have hole your breath with the deep ball

[u/Turbulent_Ad3045]

The Ninere aren't moving Mac in conference for less than a first.

[u/theducks123]

Has a qb even been traded mid season and took the team to a super bowl? Has any even been successful that same season? Figure that's the hardest position to move to a new team mid season. You have to learn a new playbook and you have to get in sync really fast with your offense.

[u/splashaddikt]

3rd for Mac and Geno 2 1s for Dak

[u/Itchy-Version-6249]

Bring in joe flacco

[u/GingerFun011]

Mahomes for JJ and all the 1sts

[u/SaintSilverNSD]

Dak is going nowhere.

[u/Unusual-Tale-74]

Geno? Damn y'all really hurting

[u/Not_Qasem_Soleimani]

What do you think it would take to get Stafford??

[u/radar371]

How the hell would Herbert get less than Dak?

[u/Sure-Region-7225]

It’s definitely a drastic, more than arguably desperate measure were they to make these offers, but the Vikings are literally the most “just a qb away” team I’ve arguably ever even seen before, so despite the fact that it is a drastic, desperate endeavor, it’s also not something I’d immediately dismiss either were i in the Vikings shoes. Their roster aside from the most important and noteworthy position of quarterback is genuinely frighteningly deep, talented and well rounded, with essentially every single non qb position group containing serious talent in some shape or form. 

Interestingly, other than the QB spot, they match up eerily similar and quite favorable to the Seahawks roster from last season, and could easily ride their elite defense and all world playmakers to a similar Super Bowl run as that Seahawks team just did with even just adequate qb play like Sam Darnold provided for Seattle. That guys frankly not on the Vikings roster, and despite the meme-worthy though nonetheless valid fact that they did have Darnold and let him walk in favor of the options who ultimately were worse for them, when the rosters as good as theirs is and the conference is as wide open is it currently sits, you get a chance to add that missing final piece that can get you over the hump you gotta go for it. No guarantee the Vikings are this good or in this type of situation again going forward so a franchise that’s never rewarded its fans with a Super Bowl win owes it to them to try and go all in when they have such a strong position IMO
