Now, if there were a big difference in talent, that might not factor in, but their numbers are remarkably similar. Bynum is better in coverage, but Holland is a better blitzer. Holland is also a good year and a half younger. That might actually be the most significant factor.

Give me Moooooooviiiiiiiie for similar money.

KOC on the radio today stated that he'd love to have Aaron Jones back in Minnesota next season. The RB spot is going to be one of the more interesting positions to monitor for the Vikings this offseason

I'd love to have Jones back...as RB2. I think it would be a pretty big mistake to go into 2025 with 30-year-old Jones are your RB1.

I think Jones is probably the odds on favorite to be RB1 next year. I don’t know where we would get a better RB1. He's the consensus best RB available in free agency. With as few draft picks as we have, you have to have a guy you are at least comfortable with starting prior to the draft. I think we’ll resign Jones and Akers and hope we can fix the problem by upgrading the OL in free agency, then hope to draft a RB in the middle rounds that might be an upgrade, but I don’t think there’s going to be any sure path to getting a RB upgrade. I can’t imagine we’re spending our first pick on one.

That said if we can pick up an upgrade in the 3rd or 4th, that'd be pretty special.
