Montae Nicholson Jersey , winning neither. Yet, the Vikings signed him to a three-year deal last year that made him, at the time, the highest-paid player in NFL history.The Vikings have to figure out how to get back to what they did in 2017, now with Cousins as their quarterback.“A lot of the things we’re doing now [are] . . . to get Kirk Cousins to go to that next level to do the things he does best,” Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman said Wednesday at the Vikings charity golf outing at The Meadows at Mystic Lake, via Chris Tomasson of the .The Vikings are expected to run more and do more play action, something Spielman said Cousins does well.“We know what our identity is,” Spielman said. “We got away from that last year. Our identity with Coach [Mike] Zimmer and how we win games with the Minnesota Vikings is we’re going to be tough; we’re going to be physical; we’re going to play great defense; we’re going to run the ball; we’re going to set up big plays by being able to run the ball and use play action. One of the things Kirk Cousins is best at is play action, and we didn’t do that enough last year.”Cousins threw for 4,298 yards and 30 touchdowns but committed 17 turnovers. The Vikings went 8-7-1 a year after reaching the NFC Championship Game with Case Keenum Josh Doctson Jersey , who went 12-4 in 2017, including two postseason games.

Downing-USA TODAY SportsPrior to the draft, I published an article that discussed, among other things, nine recommendations from OverTheCap regarding changes that should be included in the next Collective Bargaining Agreement.Since that time, OTC has published one more suggestion: increasing minimum salaries.I don’t have a lot to add. I think the OTC argument is concise and compelling.Once again, the money to fund this increase would simply come from the pool available to pay top-tier players.If I correctly read what OTC wrote, this proposal would shift around $5m per season from the highest paid players to the lowest paid players - an amount that is easily managed by teams and hardly noticeable in terms of the effect on the top-ten salaries per team.This basically takes away about $0.5m per year from the each of the top-ten players on a roster and redistributes the money to the lowest paid players on the roster.The most consistent criticism I would have of the 2011 CBA is that it set up a number of different factors that combine toward the same result.That is, the bucket of money that is the salary cap, and which owners must, by agreement Sean Taylor Jersey , pay out to the players, keeps getting bigger, but the cups used to scoop money out for drafted rookies and minimum-salary players don’t grow as fast.This actually forces teams, who are bound by contract to pay out the agreed salary cap money to players, to give more and more dollars every year to the stars at the top of the roster.That needs to change; a greater degree of equity should be restored by giving more money to minimum salary players, and providing earlier opportunities for drafted rookies to participate in upside earning potential.Seattle deal was pretty much expected, and a $20m contract for a quarterback is seen as nothing out of the ordinary.The new CBA, due in less than 2 years, is a good opportunity to change a lot of the rules so that player salaries, in all their forms (draft slotting, minimum salaries Chase Roullier Jersey , franchise tenders, RFA tenders, ERFA tenders, etc) are all indexed to the overall salary cap number.Until that happens, the NFL will see more and more tens of millions of dollars in increased salaries going to just a handful of big name stars, while the lunch-bucket guys see bracket raises of $15,000 per year.This is a very good proposal that should be on the NFLPA agenda, and I can think of no reason at all for the owners to oppose it.This doesn’t cost owners any real money — it simply redistributes the salary cap a bit more equitably.
