To me the thing that sticks about the Viking's is they had a pretty good QB in keenum and yet they want to change to another similar QB who will be much more expensive? It doesn't make much sense to me that they would be satisfied with Cousins and would want something more.
I know that Foles winning last month throws a monkey wrench in my thesis, but your chances of winning a Superbowl are largely dependent on your quarterback. Sure a guy like Foles, Dilfer or Flacco can win the big game if they play smart/have an amazing supporting cast/catch fire, but any team would rather have a Brady, Brees, Roethlisberger, Rodgers, Manning, Wilson.
I'm personally (and again, there's probably a reason I'm not a talent evaluator and all that, so take it with a grain of salt) not convinced that Cousins is that upper echelon of QB talent that will be the reason you win a Superbowl. And honestly, if a team doesn't have that quarterback, the team's sole focus will be finding that QB.
Maybe the Vikings/Broncos/Jets/Cardinals feel differently and think that Cousins is. If they do, then there really is no price tag on that. If a team thinks he is the guy they need to get him.
And if he is, I'll gladly eat crow. But IMO right now, Cousins is a rich man's Case Keenum who is a rich man's Blake Bortles. They can all be serviceable, but any team should be looking for an upgrade.
