They cant cut JJ.
From what I understand, the team us tight against the cap tonjust sign kyler at vet minimum.
Cutting JJ adds dead cap$'s the team cant afford.

This cap situation, itvshould tell anyone windering about the Vikings being a top tier SB contender. It cant be wusged into existence. It takes personel and depth. That takes cap space. Ir at least an owner willing to do what the wild did lastbyear. Spend way betond the cap with funny money/ creative accounting. Which the Wilfs said theyre not doing this season.

Sure, we all want the vikings in the superbowl. Last year. This year, the next 10 years. Wanting doesnt bring results. There are some seasons best spent- sucking it up. 8-10 years of poor drafting with 8-10 years of overspending in FA to compensate all the bad drafting. At somebpoint. That chicken hops into the nest to hear the rooster crow... For the vikings. The obvious decision is that moment is now. Missing on McCarthy comes with these consequences. Building the team that could help JJ to the promise land. That was the swing for the fence. In retrospect. I'll conceived. Oh well, they tried. We want them to try.

Now. Suck it up- regroup. If they take their lumps this year. Then they can try in earnest again relatively soon. If instead they keep pasting bandaids atop the wounds these mistakes left in their wake. Then the middling results will always be the teams ceiling.

Upper tier superbowl team? No, i really dont see it. Not getting embarrassed on a weekly basis. Thats the realistic goal of the '26 Vikings.
