In the wake of Kirk Cousins' season-ending injury, Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell received many text messages from unfamiliar numbers.
"You wouldn't believe some of the things on my cellphone I've received here in the last 24 hours,'' O'Connell said Monday at team headquarters.
So, I hacked O'Connell's phone. Here's what I found:
"If I were you, I'd trade a bunch of draft picks for Sam Bradford." — Rick Spielman
"Hey, Kevin, I probably shouldn't be sending you this since I play for the Texans, but I took the Vikings to the NFC title game in 2017. Let's stay in touch, by code, so I don't get in trouble." — Case Keenum'
"Yo, KO, your situation is perfect for me. I wouldn't have to go to training camp, and I can take a lot of money off you in a short period of time, which is kind of my thing. Just get a few players down here to beg me to sign, send a bag of unmarked million-dollar bills, and I'll meet you in Atlanta on Sunday. Might even get there by the anthem. Wearing purple would be the best way to distract people from these allegations I'm dealing with down here. Who knew Mississippi had laws and stuff, amirite?" — Brett Favre
"If you haven't watched any of my Vikings tape, I would like to apply for the job of starting quarterback. If you have watched my Vikings tape, I will give you $1 million to burn it and all copies." — Josh Freeman
"My record as an NFL starter is 11-25. If you're looking to improve your draft status, I'm your guy." — Colt McCoy
