And if you are in a win-now mode, you don't care what happens 3 or 4 years down the road when you cannot afford an elite defense, your other skills players become expensive, and you have an above average QB that cannot carry the team on his back.



But if this means potentially winning it all within the next yer or two, then I don't see why they wouldn't do it.

I agree. Like I said earlier, if you’re the Vikings you push all your chips to the middle of the table and go for it.

You don’t put the next couple years of golden opportunities in the hands of a discounted journeyman. Pay Kirk and take your best shot.
