The Packers have won five division crowns since 2008, but the division just got a lot tougher. With NFL free agency slowing to a crawl, the NFC North got a lot better.
The Minnesota Vikings backed up a Brinks truck for Kirk Cousins — despite getting to the NFC Championship on the arm of Case Keenum. Amazingly, Keenum was ranked as the No. 7 passer by Pro Football Focus last year. Coincidentally, Cousins was No. 24.
Even though Cousins was the big get for Minnesota, the guy that scares me the most is Dalvin Cook. He was having a very good rookie campaign before tearing his ACL in the fourth game.
