The cap number for MIN RT is almost the same as Cousin's. What ever national guy wrote that clearly didn't bother to even look at Cousin's contact, that it was restructured in March, or where all MIN cap space is tied up.From a national guy on the Smith trade, because, ya know, I thought we had the bad QB contract per the pundits.
“As for the Vikings, this is definitely a disappointing development and an obvious ramification of Kirk Cousins' horrible contract. The Vikings needed to shed some salary, so at least they're able to upgrade two late-round selections into a pair of mid-round picks. That said, Smith's departure will really hurt a defense that was already poor against the pass”
He'll very likely be just fine, but still, anything that ain't us ...
