Arizona Cardinals inexplicably offered former Minnesota

This offseason Kirk Cousins Jersey , the Vikings’ quarterback Sam Bradford a two-year contract worth $20 million a season. Bradford’s hold on the Cardinals’ starting quarterback job lasted about three weeks before they turned the reigns over to rookie Josh Rosen, making the contract look even more ridiculous.On Saturday, the Cardinals released Bradford. . .and, in the process, may have hosed the Vikings out of a high-level compensatory draft selection.According to Mike Sando of ESPN, by releasing Bradford before Week 10 of the season, the Cardinals have gained a sixth-round compensatory pick of their own, and in the process have apparently deprived the Vikings of what would have been a third-round compensatory pick for Bradford.The cancellation chart that the folks from Over the Cap put together each season has proven to be pretty accurate Marcus Sherels Jersey , and as of now they have the Vikings receiving four compensatory picks in the 2019 NFL Draft. One of those was a pick for the loss of Sam Bradford. Now, it doesn’t appear as though that will be the case. The Vikings’ signing of Kirk Cousins is “canceled” by the loss of Case Keenum, according to the chart, and it would appear that Bradford is no longer going to be a qualifying free agent loss.The potential loss of a third round pick is pretty huge for the Vikings, given that they’re already out a fifth-round pick (for Trevor Siemian) and a seventh-round pick (for Brett Jones). Over the Cap still has the Vikings projected to receive a sixth-round pick and a pair of seventh-round selections, but let’s be honest. . .that extra third round pick would have been really nice to have.It’s also my understanding that if the Cardinals had held onto Bradford until Week 10, then he would have counted as a qualifying loss for the Vikings and they would likely have gotten that third round pick after all.Once we have more clarification on this, we’ll have another update to the situation. However Xavier Rhodes Jersey , it appears that Sam Bradford has found a way to, at least indirectly, kick the Vikings in the groin one last time.UPDATE: According to Nick Korte of Over the Cap, the Vikings won’t recoup the lost pick for Bradford even if another team picks him up. It would be another huge event for the city"Since leaving its (then) permanent home at Radio City Music Hall in New York, the NFL Draft has traveled all over the country, making stop in Chicago (for two years), Philadelphia, Dallas Mike Remmers Jersey , and this year’s event in Nashville.It certainly sounds like the city of Minneapolis wants to add itself to that list.A report from KSTP in Minneapolis is reporting that a representative from Sports Minneapolis has gone down to Nashville this week to explore the possibility of bringing the NFL’s annual selection meeting to the Twin Cities. The event has proven to be a pretty significant economic boon to the communities it’s been hosted in. . .Dallas reported an estimated economic impact of $125 million, per the report.When would the NFL Draft, potentially, be coming to Minnesota? Well, the 2020 event is already spoken for, as that will be held in Las Vegas. According to Sports Minneapolis director Matt Meunier, 2021 might not be promising, either.It sounds like 2022 might be fair game Riley Reiff Jersey , though, and I think it would be pretty great to see the NFL Draft come to Minneapolis. I mean, surely it would be every bit as good, and probably better, than any of the other cities that have hosted it, right? And we know that Minnesota Vikings fans would turn out in droves for the party.Hopefully we’ll see this happen in the relatively near future.
