00:00 Year four in the NFL for KJ Osborne, 7.4 yards per target.
00:08 He's got 198 targets, uh, entering into his age 26 season, just a very
00:15 average NFL player.
00:16 Um, you know, you're, you're not really expecting anything great from him.
00:21 I think the kindest thing you could say about the whole situation is that the
00:26 Vikings are not built to be a grounded pound team.
00:29 The defense is pretty brutal.
00:31 We should still see, you know, 38 plus pass attempts any given week.
00:36 Kurt Cousins is fourth in the NFL in per game dropbacks.
00:40 They continue to pass obviously very heavily, even after, after
00:44 Justin Jefferson left that game.
00:46 Brandon Powell came in and was substituting for Jefferson snaps.
00:49 Addison, I think you can have, you know, some expectation that he's able to carry
00:55 some of that weight that Justin Jefferson left first round rookie out
00:59 of USC, he's got 29 targets in five NFL games.
01:04 One of those was in a very weird, his, his target numbers have been very good.
01:07 Other than one very poor game against the Carolina Panthers where Kurt
01:11 Cousins only had 19 dropbacks in that game.
01:15 If you can acquire Jordan Addison right now, whether it be via trade or, or
01:19 however, I definitely would do it.
01:21 Osborne was pretty expensive on waivers over the last week.
01:25 I probably would not have paid those prices.
01:27 Um, for example, I had a couple of listeners reach out to me and say,
01:31 you know, someone dropped Quentin Johnston in my league.
01:33 Which one would you prefer?
01:35 I mean, I definitely prefer Quentin Johnston to KJ Osborne.
01:38 The other element is, you know, why would Kurt Cousins even be playing for this team?
01:43 Why would the Vikings want to pay his salary on, on this team?
01:46 So I do wonder if Kirk ends up, you know, on another team, it's very hard to trade
01:51 these very large NFL contracts, but there are certainly some teams with terrible,
01:55 terrible quarterback play this season that would, Kurt Cousins would
01:59 be a giant upgrade for them.
02:01 So, whereas I would have said that's like 0% possible 10 days ago, I'd
02:05 say it's like 5, 10% possible now.
