March 11, 20197 yr I'm not a big fan of Sendejo. He is a big hitter, but it cost the team multiple times, and he's not a great cover safety. I think Cousins needs another WR to throw to. DiggsThielen really aren't different enough from each other to rely solely on them. I'd like to see a tall, athletic WR drafted that can create mismatches in the red zone. Treadwell isn't that guy. Maybe I watched Randy Moss too much?
March 12, 20197 yr Barr and Richardson gone.....but sure, they can build an OL basically from scratch, and replace those two. No problem.......and Murray, but I think they an find a RB in a mid/late round.

No problem.......and Murray, but I think they an find a RB in a mid/late round.Breaking! I guess Barr is coming back! https://twitter.com/MikeGarafolo/status/1105510083931320329?s=19
March 12, 20197 yr Apparently Barr is not gone....he went back on his agreement with the Jets and is coming back.
March 12, 20197 yr wow.....and wut? I'm not sure how I feel about this, from a commitment perspective. There have been issues with his commitment and work ethic before....
March 12, 20197 yr Author I'm afraid to think what the terms are for Barr.Rumor has it the Jets offered somewhere around $15 million a year. I am cringing if the Vikes offer anything around that.
March 12, 20197 yr Paying Barr all but eliminates signings an OL. Unless there is another move coming.
March 12, 20197 yr Rumor has it the Jets offered somewhere around $15 million a year. I am cringing if the Vikes offer anything around that. Anything more than 8-9 makes me cringe.
March 12, 20197 yr Woof, that's too much money for him. Draft a replacement and spend that on something else. I can't see how the team keeps Waynes unless it is restructuring a ton of deals.
March 12, 20197 yr Woof, that's too much money for him. Draft a replacement and spend that on something else. I can't see how the team keeps Waynes unless it is restructuring a ton of deals. griffen and Rudolph will be restructured, or maybe traded/cut. IMO. but, ya, I'd rather have Waynes after this year, than Barr.....not close. Edited March 12, 20197 yr by Mike Sixel
March 12, 20197 yr griffen and Rudolph will be restructured, or maybe traded/cut. IMO. but, ya, I'd rather have Waynes after this year, than Barr.....not close. Or maybe Paradis at center? Barr just isn't productive enough.
March 12, 20197 yr Or maybe Paradis at center? Barr just isn't productive enough. Yes, 100x this, I'd rather have Paradis for sure. 100x this. Not even close.
March 12, 20197 yr Author They gotta make a move in order to pay Barr. I read Griffen's salary becomes guaranteed on Friday, so I'd anticipate him being released. Or Waynes traded very soon.
March 12, 20197 yr They gotta make a move in order to pay Barr. I read Griffen's salary becomes guaranteed on Friday, so I'd anticipate him being released. Or Waynes traded very soon. Cutting Rudolph, Grifin, or trading Waynes are really the only options. Griffin has almost no dead money. So they'd save 10M the next three years cutting him. If I were a betting man, I'd say that's the move. And they promised Barr more pass rushing opportunities.
March 12, 20197 yr My money is on a Grifren cut, a Rudolph restructure, and one more move involving Rhodes or Waynes, though I can't decide what that move is...... And, no real OL signed in FA.

March 12, 20197 yr Maybe he's the new DE replacing Griffin? Wouldn't be opposed to that. In Nickel and Dime situations I bet that is part of the plan. At least, that's what I'd wager on. If you're going to pay him 13.5M - you better get more out of him.
March 12, 20197 yr Author And at the very least they need to make depth OL signings in FA... Though I was hoping to aim higher than the Tom Compton/Remmers types.
March 12, 20197 yr And at the very least they need to make depth OL signings in FA... Though I was hoping to aim higher than the Tom Compton/Remmers types. I continue to wonder if they should have left Remmers at OT......and had O'Neill inside last year. Or drafted an IOL instead....
March 12, 20197 yr Author I'm guessing Paradis is going to get around the same money we just paid Barr.
March 12, 20197 yr Author 5/$67.5 million $33 million guaranteed. Incentives to get to $77.5 million. Yikes!
March 12, 20197 yr Author This defense needs to be 10x better.....Yep and I don't like the fact they're locking up a lot of these players that were key pieces on a declining defense last year.
March 12, 20197 yr Yep and I don't like the fact they're locking up a lot of these players that were key pieces on a declining defense last year. My thought also......this OL is going to kill them again. But, hey, the draft just didn't fall right, that's why they HAD to pick a DL in round 1.....
March 12, 20197 yr Author Rodger Saffold, best OG available, signs for $11 million a year. We have Barr.
