A quick reminder as to why Jonathan Greenard wants a pay raise. There were some hefty deals given out to other edge rushers this offseason:

#Vikings edge rusher Jonathan Greenard’s agent wants “much more money” in a revised deal with the team, @DWolfsonKSTP mentioned via @SKORNorth. Wolfson mentions Jalen Philips, who recently received a 4 year, $120M deal with $80M in guarantees, as a potential baseline for JG.

@Bubblebathgirl I can’t even register my car in Co without an ID…so dumb.

@Vikeologist I was too young to know it at the time, but what a hella of coach!
English

@vikingzfanpage False. He’s only 23. He can be our franchise QB at 25 and play until he’s 35-28. Plenty of time.
English

True or False: When the #Vikings sign Kyler Murray, JJ McCarthy’s future in Minnesota is over.

@Kramer9Guy Were you excited when Sam was signed? I doubt it and look what he did.
English

@VikesCentral JJ is what 23 years old? We can’t prepare him to be a franshise QB at 25-26 years old and play until he’s 38-40?
English

No patience whatsoever for developing a quarterback.
It’s honestly sad because our fanbase will never get a franchise quarterback unless they’re awesome from day 1.

My eyes saw development during the final 5 weeks of the season. “Bad defenses” or not, accuracy & processing were improved. No question about it!

@SkolStateOfMind The thing is that 2 years in and our young QB has been a lot of time.

I gotta say this — and some might not like it.
I don’t see the overwhelming infatuation on Vikings Twitter with Kyler Murray. It bothers me because just over a year ago, a lot of people were big on drafting a young quarterback and letting him develop into the franchise QB. Now suddenly the focus has shifted to a quarterback who hasn’t had much team success in seven seasons in the NFL and has dealt with frequent injuries.
I just don’t get it.
Maybe some people are subconsciously hoping for another Sam Darnold-type situation, but I really don’t think Kyler automatically puts the Vikings in Super Bowl contention.
And here’s the real question: does bringing him in stunt the potential growth of J.J. McCarthy? Or are the Vikings just repeating the same cycle they’ve followed for the past 20+ years — bringing in veteran stopgap quarterbacks who might pop for a season, but ultimately lead to no real postseason success?
I’m just asking the question. Some people will call me a hater or whatever — I really don’t care.
But what happens if the Vikings do sign Kyler Murray and things don’t go as planned? What if he struggles or gets injured again? Are we going to jump right back on Twitter demanding McCarthy start?
At some point we have to stop jumping from quarterback to quarterback. Development on the roster matters, and that’s one of the main reasons this franchise hasn’t reached a Super Bowl.

@Yfz84 Kirks best years are behind him and he didn’t win anything. To me someone who is fine signing Kirk is fine with bringing Wentz back. Been there done that, no thanks.
English

Kirk is my guy. Truly a fan of his. He was always extremely underrated by the masses
Give me Kyler
Robert Smith@Robert26Smith
Which one?

@ChipBrown247 @Horns247 So he made a decision to listen to his agent and now he’s mad at Texas?…. it’s called being an adult and take accountability for your decisions.
English

Now at #Oklahoma, former #Longhorns' WR Parker Livingstone says, “I want to beat the crap out of Texas.”

The ONLY way JJ does this is if he knows a solid QB is incoming- only way. Humble as he is, he's still hungry and wants a Super Bowl. Vikes have a plan.
VikingzFanPage@vikingzfanpage
The #Vikings are restructuring Justin Jefferson’s contract, per @TomPelissero. This move will likely free up roughly $18M in cap.

@PurpleForTheWin If JJ doesn’t make it the coaching staff neeeds to replaced.

"So we are talking about a potential world where JJ McCarthy is the number three QB" 👀
