Rick Spielman was a busy man Monday. A busy general manager who also had a productive day in making defining personnel moves.
A flurry of activity that saw the Vikings and quarterback Kirk Cousins agree on a two-year extension was punctuated by a late-night doozy: Trading disgruntled wide receiver Stefon Diggs to Buffalo for a significant haul that includes a first-round pick in the upcoming draft.
Well done, Trader Rick.
Now fix the offensive line.
Cousins’ extension was widely expected because the Vikings were mired in salary-cap quicksand and needed relief to make necessary improvements.
