and Hey everybody welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collar here along with Sports Illustrated's Will Reggett as we were just witness to the end of year press conference between Kevin O'Connell, Quaisey Eiffomensa, and us, the Twin Cities media.

And where do you guys want to start?

You want to start with the strong safety position, you know, the special teams, the kicking

was addressed. We could get into get into no is that not where we should begin

all right so uh here's what quaysi daffel mens has said about her cousins that he wants him to return. But of course, along the way of saying he wants him to return was also a yada yada yada price tag is very important and that negotiations also with his agent Mike McCartney

And so when, if there's a line that they can't be crossed,

then they won't cross it with Kirk Cousins.

But I also get the sense that there are a lot of people,

maybe in the ownership, maybe in the head coaching chair that want more of a sure thing at quarterback than taking a risk with a rookie.

So it comes down to can they get cousins at their price and the other part of this that

Kirk cousins was not definitive the other day and saying that he absolutely can only return to the Vikings he seemed kind of excited about the idea of talking about other teams.

So that's my takeaway.

How do you feel about it?

Yeah, the good line from Kirk the other day was,

you know, my kids really like their kindergarten here,
