Everyone knew the suspension was eventually going to come and now Minnesota needs to 'trade for a WRer' and its a meltdown. Its all so bi-polar and that doesn't even mention all the fake engagement accounts spreading outright lies and exaggeration.
A self imposed mini-break for me is necessary I think until Saturday. Flush the garbage.
I've been reading some of those trade ideas from fairly prominent Viking followers on Twitter. My only question is...are they feckin crazy? With Addison out, Nailor jumps to WR2 and we don't really lose a lot. WR3 and 4 is a battle between Rondale Moore, Lucky Jackson, who's been having a terrific camp, and a 3rd round rookie. Not many teams have that kind of depth.
What's more, it's not like Addison's suspension caught the team by surprise and now they have to fix it. The Vikings likely drafted a WR so high and added Moore precisely because they knew Addison would be out for some games.
Meanwhile, we have Jordan Mason and a 31 year old injury prone back in Jones. Meaning Ty Chandler, who can't pass block, is a twisted ankle from splitting carries. And people think we need to trade for a WR. The mind boggles.
