So, basically, you're giving up probably 1 or 2 more seasons of Tee to have a high quality guy at QB for the rest of this season. Then after the season let him sign elsewhere unless he wants to stay as our backup for the vet minimum lol
I agree with that for the most part its just why would the vikings want Tee? It's not like adding him is a benefit to them at this point. They're basically going to be in a rebuild after this season and will be looking to replace cousins and adding a big time wide out won't really help them, especially one that will probably won't to be paid.
It's not that you're wrong in your assessment (you're not) it's that the Vikings don't want or need Tee so there's no up side for them in this trade. But maybe some combination of picks would work if he'd be willing to take a lesser roll next season for a reasonable price. I don't think he will. I think cousins believes he's still got a few elite years left. His words I made up he said, not mine.
