Matthew Coller and Arif Hasan of The Athletic imagine a world where the Vikings didn't sign Kirk Cousins to a contract extension. And what if they didn't trade Stefon Diggs? What does it tell us about this offseason?
On the first day of free agency, the Minnesota Vikings signed Kirk Cousins to a contract extension. How would we have viewed the NFL draft? Would there have been an argument to talk Jordan Love or Jalen Hurts? Could the Vikings have signed Cam Newton or Jameis Winston with hopes that they might take over the following year?
Also, looking at the Stefon Diggs trade, who would the Vikings have drafted if they didn't trade Diggs? Would we have seen another player get moved instead?
What does this all tell us about the Vikings offseason?
