Imagine doubling down on a blatant lie there was nothing on the nabers front
The Nabers report was the biggest load of crap ever.
Same team couldn’t win a Super Bowl with Moss and Carter. Not going anywhere Jefferson either
@@tnshsd3526cleary someone hurt u😂😂
Much love bud…you know as well as all of us know…click bait!!!
Florio just gonna die on this hill huh? 2 reporters out of hundreds spewed the false information regarding Nabors. Every other local and national reporter has called it BS. Just give it up Florio my god.
Yes yes yes…shout it out loud my man!!!
Schefter said the team never tried to trade JJ. He said last year he was going to sign for 28 mil then decided last min to wait. Smart move by JJ. He made an extra 7 mil a year by waiting a year. This was just good business by JJ and good business by the vikings too to understand JJ is worth the money
"Money isn't everything." Florio, every day prior to today... "You should get every dollar you can during your playing career."
Kwesi would get run outa town trading JJ in his prime what a dumb take
He’ll be gone soon
@@averieandhunterbanksoh yeah? Why’s that?
@@FlickaNickk if you think Kwesi has done anything significant in the draft then you’re high. Signing your star player to the highest paid deal is easy. If McCarthy doesn’t turn out then he should be fired.
Especially when Vikings had huge cap space! Why would any sane person not pay the best WR in the league, trade him just to push down a mega pay into the future? That's pure asinine and shows why people like Florida shut keep their mouth shut😂
Florio was acting like a total jerk to the Vikings organization. Telling them to get the Jefferson signing done as if they weren't trying. The Vikings and Jefferson got the deal done before mandatory mini camp just as they should have and it was a fair deal to both sides.
Florio is a CLOWN on trying to die on the hill for his Nabers take.
Florio is a clown.
🤡
Yet here you are watching.
@@bhillis99fans watch clowns out of curiosity. You're here too. You must be a Florio fan.
Florio hating on others reporting because they aren't spreading clearly false information. NO ONE except you said anything about vikes trading up for Nabers. Name a source if you "knew" this information.
Pioneer press also said same thing.
Florio the one started the Rumors.
@drexlspivey3047 they may have said it recently when the rumor picked up. Florio started the baseless rumor on draft night and no one and nothing said anything prior or after until last week
Jefferson was never going anywhere, period. If anything, the Vikings intentionally floated the rumor about Nabers out there on draft night to steer the Giants away from either McCarthy or Penix. They were never going to draft Nabers, their priority from the start was selecting a QB high in the draft.
This is what I was thinking. Where are the the sources that Vikings wanted to trade Jefferson? BS
Show proof on this story Mike. You are all speculation on this topic with no evidence of anything.
Simms has turned into an excellent broadcaster. Props
I’m glad he recently stopped stuttering and muttering like he was afraid to talk around Mike Florio 😂😂
@mannyvenegas8378 😆. If I can nitpick, he should stop saying "I don't disagree" and just say, "I disagree with you Florio".
If you're not smart, be knowledgeable. If you're neither, be Chris Simms.
@@alexmalt Plato in the chat
I damn near turned off the video when Chris said he was doing the show by himself with no Mike. I was like hell naw. 🤣😂
Chris is WAY better than Mike.
I 100% would rather listen to Chris. Florio is good for the legal shit and contracts, the rest of his takes I don't care about
Same here, then he got on and they talked non football stupidity for a couple mins, then I actually turned it off.
I bet this story has legs because one of Florio's "sources" told him that the Vikings were trying to trade for Nabers sarcastically and Florio took it as fact. Trading away the best player on your team is not a good idea. There are examples of it today, like CMC. Trading a rookie for a proven player who also happens to be the best at his position, is not a good idea either. The titans did that with AJ Brown (top ten WR), and we know how thats been going for them.
The Vikings did that with Diggs and Jettas and we all know how that’s going for them
Panthers getting rid of a running back for a good pick was a good deal LOL what else should they have done?
@@evilknegro6010yea but diggs forced his way out so they did what they had to do
@@evilknegro6010 Good point, I would be willing to say Stefon Diggs was not the best player on the Vikings at the time and he was not the best at his position when he was traded though. I'd say Hunter was the best player on the team when Diggs was traded, but this is all my opinion.
Florio fabricating stories i'm so shocked
7:53 Mike.F don't give a eefffff........lol
I love reading everyone’s comments. I personally would’ve traded Jefferson if the draft compensation enabled us to get Harrison or Nabers on a 4 year 30 million dollar contract.
The Vikings needed a QB and an edge as well as a third WR, but I do not get the Naber's deal. Why would they do this when other needs were higher?
It was a bunch of BS with Florio making it up.
Florio is really holding onto strings that were clearly never there. From the mouth of thr team "never planned to trade Jefferson". Creating false news for clicks is a sham. PFT would be so much better if he just left.
Florio wants to be right so bad that even after the deal he continues to rant on about what he thought was happening . Retire mike .
Florio is the worse Viking Fan ever!
Keyword is VOLUNTARY!!!!!
I’m surprised it’s only 35 per year, like Simms said you’d have thought it’d have been done a while ago if that’s all it took. Obviously, the guarantees were probably what slowed things down
Maybe Nabers was the back-up choice if all the QB's they liked were gone before they could pick? We know now Giants weren't really interested in McCarthy but did the Vikings FO know then?
They are so wrong on the Malik Neighbors Nonsense. QB was the only reason why they would trade up and they did. Neighbors would have been a gamble in replacing the best WR in the NFL in Justin Jefferson.
Nabers
This is a sad day. I used to have mad respect for Florio, but my gosh. He's a clown. His take on Nabers doesnt even make sense. So draft Nabers, and he put up the same production as JJ. Then what? trade him bcuz you dont want to pay him either😅
Doubling down on an untenable position? I agree Viking local media is trash,,,, but both of you are going down with the ship here.
Why would you hesitate to do 4 years, what are the chances you cannot offload him minus the bonus money any year, the team getting him will be paying 20 something. As far as money goes, if they ever have to pay their QB this contract will be over, it is 5 years till you have to pay both.
Once again, MF doesn't understand. JJ would have preferred 3 years Vikings would have preferred 5. Why 5 for Vikings? Easier to manipulate cap for the longer term contract and with cap going up?, would have been a bargain back half plus team control. Why 3 for JJ? He would be 27 coming up on 28 next contract. Siezing 2nd bag as he hits his actual prime at 28. Paul Allen, KFAN voice of Vikings, used to leak crap Spielman told him. KAM leaks stuff to PA, which he shares with Florio much in the way Russia would leak information to a Useful Idiot. Yes Florio you are the UI, once removed in this scenario. 4 year contract was the compromise, and June was always the month. I do believe Vikings were serious about JJ getting his own month to shine. Watch the presser; JJ didn't get his moment in 2020.
KOC clearly came out and put the JJ trade rumors to rest. Either he is a liar or you are wrong. He is not a liar. Also, there is zero guarantee that a high draft pick is great in the NFL. JJ is the best WR in the game right now. He isn’t just great. He is a game, team and people changer. He is a class-act. Last year he was out for several games due to injury and he still had good numbers. Why doesn’t every team trade their #1 stars for high draft picks when it’s contract time? There’s a reason. There is no guarantee in the draft.
Just for s-ts and giggles I had to run numbers. Jefferson will be paid about 350K per catch. In other words every time he catches the ball he could buy the average house in the US.
Florio is in the top 5 worst Viking fans I swear
Florio? More like Phoneyio
Florio LOL Lies
Overpayed,should have traded him prioto the draft‼️‼️‼️
Florio’s a clown
FLORIO IS HIGH IF HE THINK YOU CAN GET NABERS AND McCARTHY. YOU WOULDN'T HAVE ENOUGH DRAFT CAPITAL! HE NEEDS TO STOP
Florio can't even provide the logistics of how the Vikings would get up to 5 and then also get back up again to get QBotF on draft night. Imagine trading JJ for Nabers and then missing on the QB on draft night. Wouldn't that be a fun presser for the Vikings?! Dumbest take of all time. Please Florio continue to double down that you and some bum writer at the Pioneer Press decided to run with this as the truth.
Chris is easily the best commentator in the NFL. He’s not always right and he says it too but he’s funny and has great football knowledge
So this big shot national bucket mouth gets called out on the Nabers deal and then tries to slide Josh’s on the local media
Ima trade a sure thing for someone that they "say " is a can't miss prospect...I heard that one before Florio and sims stupid
Florio go watch K.O.C. press conference earlier today, there were NEVER any intentions or discussion on trading JJ. Jesus you made up that lie and tried to stick it on the media and that is as dead as it never existed.
Didn't you jagoffs cover this 7 ways yesterday?
Florio butt hurt brings me so much joy
Go Lions
Said no one ever
@@austinhalvorson838 Except the Lions are becoming America's team. You're right though 'Stay Lions!'
@@brokentubing one good season and it’s “Americas team” lmao 🤣🤣
@@austinhalvorson838 Three years ago the Lions got a new owner, GM, and coaching staff. They said in about 5 years they should be in the Super Bowl. Everyone laughed then...only idiots laugh now. Most predictions coming in have the Lions only behind the 49ers in the NFC Super Bowl chances. The Lions have 5 prime-time games with the possibility of more. The Lions are 22-7 over the last 29 games. Enjoy your day sir!
@@austinhalvorson838lions fans are delusional
Oh no Vikings gonna trade Jefferson. Remember. Vikings never gonna trade him. Florio fake fan. Always start Rumors
Why does Florio feel like he has been be such a POS…I seem to remember him recently saying the Vikes should, and tried to, trade Jettas???? Do you feel a little silly Mikey??? What a joke. Hope you got paid with those clicks brotha ;)
Mike- sit down and break down the whole story. NONE of it makes ANY sense! Just like JJets was unhappy with the Vikings and after his beloved loser QB Cousins left, he wanted to go elsewhere. I guess he’s settling with this arguably “cheap” contract because he couldn’t force a trade??
Wouldn't have this issue if he would come to the office to work.
Don’t call them voluntary OTAs and then get mad whenever people don’t show up😐
Damn right get your ass out of West Virginia florio 😂
Mike need to head to the office haha
Blah , blah , blah , blah , blah , blah , blah blah , blah , blah , blah , blah………..no mas , no mas , no mas …👋
Honestly, this isnt a great deal. I get it, JJ is a great player, no debating that, but he’s playing the most replaceable position in the league. Before him they had Diggs who was great and last year they had Addison. You just aren’t getting the marginal value from signing him. It’s just a bad deal and I would have let him walk and trust my scouts could ID a guy or guys (as they have for years) to back full. WRs are all over the place.
In a vacuum of course its not a great deal paying a skill player that much but you have to take the rising salary cap into account here...how can you be paying a good qb 55mil and pay just half of that for the best wr who's making the qbs look good and great in other cases....might a couple years before anyone blows JJs deal out the water
Also let's wait and see how much micah Parson gets...I can see Dallas giving him something closer to 40 mil which would force teams like Buffalo to give Josh Allen a new contract at at least 60mil...who would argue that's value for money when everyone says JA doesn't have any support that would enable them to win big....in the NBA,in a few years some players add going to be making 80mil,absurd but it's all tied to the salary cap
@@vincentkariuki4227 I think it’s more about the replaceability. He’s a great player, but I don’t see him the way you do. I don’t see him as so unique that you can’t get comparable production from another player.
In terms of parsons I’d much rather pay him. There are far fewer guys who can get to the QB at volume than guys who can catch the ball (again, not saying JJ isn’t great).
JJ is not comparable to Addison and Diggs. Diggs was good in MN but didn't become the guy until leaving. JJ had b2b 1800 yard seasons under Zim in the same offense as Diggs. Addison is good but Jefferson still had more yards than him and he missed 7 games
@werb24 you are not getting similar level of production from anyone. JJ is 1/1. He's on track with Moss' yardage and was averaging 125 ypg before he pulled the hamstring
@@JPibbs2198 Honestly, I don't agree with you. He is a great player, but he isn't 1/1. His stats are and he's definitely near the top of the league as a WR, my argument is that the position's value doesn't justify this type of contract. There are a lot of good to great WRs in the NFL and in the pipeline to the NFL. I personally believe you are better off replacing guys with younger and cheaper options so you can put money in positions where the marginal difference between premium and good is larger. If they were a team with a young guy like Herbert or Jackson (when they were on their rookie deals), where you could make the argument that they just really need a weapon to help them hit the next stage in their career I could see it. Then you can jump ship when he loses a step like the Bills did. But when you have team with a lot of holes with a rookie QB who was a marginal talent coming out, it's tough for me to agree with tying that much of the cap in a position where the difference between the best player and the 20th player at the position is so small. This is no knock on Jefferson at all.
