Carlos Correa Trade Buzz Is Heating Up
TheLeviathan replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I'm on board with shopping him. Not to dump salary necessarily (although his injury problems the last few years could make that contract something of an albatross soon), but to see if we can find a way to reshape our roster. The number one issue this team has is that we literally don't know who should be playing where except for maybe SS, CF, RF, and catcher. Everyone else it's a complete mess. -
In all seriousness, does anyone know what these titles mean in terms of decision making? I've lost track of the role of the GM in this organization. Falvey is now acquiring talent and running things like media? I realize it's all part of the selling process, just trying to figure out what to actually expect that people are doing/not doing with all the title jargon. I am sure of one thing: DSP is gone 20 years too late. Can't be anything but excited about that.

For those that care and don't want to get dragged into one person's inability to have fair conversation: The Vikings have not "pushed all their chips in" with contracts. They have the 5th most cap room in the NFL for 2025 and the only notable FAs they have to sign are Murphy, Bynum, Aaron Jones, and Gilmore. They will have ample room to add to the roster by free agency next year. The Vikings have traded most of their 2-7th picks. Which are, statistically, far less likely to return starting players. If the team's strategy is to continue to make first round picks or trade for established players, the odds are in their favor on that strategy. (They do, however, have to hit on those picks they trade for which is TBD at this point 9 games in) I believe the team quite smartly determined that they could supplement their roster next year with the money freed up from moving on from Cousins and others and utilized their picks to make splashier selections in what they view as a better draft. That really depends on JJ and Turner panning out and netting a good offseason of FAs next year. So, TBD on that strategy - I like the thinking though. Right now the results are hard to argue with. No matter what struggles they are going through, the team is vastly overperforming expectations. One would think that if a team vastly overperforms that those in charge of leading it would get some credit and not constant derision......

Ugly win. Hideous QB play has to get fixed.
-
Line giving him all day, moving up and down the field with ease, and he keeps handing the ball to the Jags. This is awful QBing.
-
Sam Darnold has been reaaly bad again. The red zone turnovers are simply awful.
-
Yeah, this smells like a trap game. It should be an easy win and better be.
-
Purple Monkey Dishwasher!
-
John Parker Romo. Woof.
-
Lattimore is so good though...I feel like that was a bargain personally. I'd give that up all day for a shutdown corner.
-
1 dog (Bowser) and two cats (Nebula and Zelda).
-
To piggyback a bit on what @gunnarthormentioned - they made some front adjustments I really liked: Greenard seemed to exclusively rush from the right and you can tell he's more comfortable there. Dude was a menace. They moved Gink into the middle on clear passing downs and dropped him into coverage more often and blitzed Pace more. That's taking away a good rusher, but I think the coverage over the middle was way better that way. It freed up Turner to come off the edge on the left and he looked better for it too.
-
I do think he played a good game, but that single play should've been devastating to his grade. It single-handedly swung the game at that point. It was comically bad how easily he got rag dolled.
-
The team has a ton of cap room next year so I'm fine giving up picks for the right player. I'm game for Calais Campbell in all aspects though. I think he's perfect - 5 technique who is a beast at collapsing pockets.
-
I would like the NFL to not flag hits like that, but clearly they have been for less than the blow Darnold took. I think what bothers me more is the inconsistency on when the league can intervene. Take a note from the NHl and just get involved in all scoring and turnover plays across the board.
-
Darnold's really bad plays, plus Bradbury getting p'owned, cost us a beatdown of a game. I liked the offense's rhythm and variability. Robinson played well. Pass rush was back.
-
I think we have enough to conclude that JJ shouldn't sweating his QB spot
-
That one was almost as bad as the Darnold one!
-
Should've been a hold on that 3rd down. Jones came through free but got yanked just enough to keep him off Flacco.
-
Very much so. This game by every measure should be a blowout right now.
-
Brandon Powell blocking a D end ain't going to work.
-
There he is!
-
He hasn't had a good start for sure. Verse looks like a better player. Just saying...in this game, defense is getting off the field really fast tonight.
-
It's hard to judge.....defense is getting off the field quick. Every stat says this should be 21-0 Vikings. It's wild.
-
What's weird is....that might be the best half of play-calling all year. And they have zero to show for it.
