We needed to free space he wanted to be gone. I didn't like it but it was needed for both.

Now what I really miss. I miss being relevant.
Don't know when we will again. I'm not sure if you can blame everything that is happening on the players here or who's departed.
This team can't stop a team 94 yard from winning after they couldn't execute 1 yard in rushing to ice it. The problems are pretty deep.
Will next year be better? I think the window slammed shut on us and we will need to rebuild and get costs back in line with production on the field. How can you justify being so full of holes and so cap strapped at the same time.

You're almost there my friend. We didn't need to free up Diggs money that should have came from different moves our should I say people. The bad they are stuck in one way or another and I think being relevant will hit around 2023. The total rebuild is long overdue at this point.

But we did need to free space and he was trying to get out. Both things came together right. That was my point.

If being a Viking fan was easy ~ everyone would do it.

He wanted out after an extension was granted.

Say what you want about Cousins, but he's not a quitter. He has a little more integrity than that. He wants to play and win here. He actually values Minnesota and the Vikings. Diggs thought he was too good for this team, ya know, the team that helped make him the star that he is. So, no, I don't miss Diggs -- nor am I willing to throw Cousins under the bus for him. A lot of the Cousins' criticism is warranted, but him/his contract forcing Diggs out? No. He didn't want to be here anymore. It happens. Bye! People using Diggs' drama as some sort of validation of their negative feelings towards Cousins and/or Zimmer is reaching. Just let it go. Diggs wasn't "right" for throwing his tantrums and quitting on his team.

So what! Diggs was traded 5 months ago and you're still arguing your point about why and how he was dealt with.

Hey, did you see Irv Smith Jr last night average 16 yards a catch? I know, I know we lost, but that was AWESOME!

Go ahead, carry on about why Diggs wanted out of Minnesota...... (roflmao)

Thanks for giving me permission to say what I want about Cousins. Kirk is not a bad guy and he'd be a great player for 1/2 the price.

No he has about 200 million not to. Yeah I know your view is the only one that is right yet others have sighted the issue(s). Please again show us the evidence of what you claim as fact. Tantrums you mean like Adam had as well? Those type? I know you post a lot of others information but you missed some very key issues with Kirk and Diggs that I happened to post dating a few years back to when sh*t hit the fan. Trust me teammates from 2 different clubs have had negative experiences with Kirk and what he values most. It's not winning. Funny thing is if Diggs was still here you would be happy as a lark if he was helping the team with miracle wins.

People are so desperate to compare Diggs and Thielen. Their situations aren't even close to the same. I have zero issues with heated discussions on the sidelines or even comments postgame. I do, however, have issues with players quitting on their teams, causing drama on social media, demanding trades, etc. Those issues are well-documented. If you want to praise that, go ahead, but I won't. I don't value any player over the team, nor will I ever. I learned that in 2010 with Moss.

I dont value any player over winning. Ask me who my favorite player is. I wont have one. I will tell you what players will help the team win and which one wont. We let the player go that would do that.

Diggs is no longer a Viking. But I love how some now hate Diggs, when they always praise whoever is on the team, like Kirk Cousins, or Mikey Z. We are luck Ricky may have finally found a good WR in the first round. And from what I have seen of JJ, he may be great. He has a lot of god given talent.

Diggs is too good for this team. Cousins is garbage, but at least he "values Minnesota" and "wants to win" whatever the hell that all means. Diggs never quit on the team in a game unlike the guy you honor in your signature.

It's sad that you feel that way, but okay. *thumb_up*

And you don't understand why I want guys who want to win a championship in Minnesota as opposed to leaving and trying to win one elsewhere? Okay. *thumb_up*
