CAP Savings - Murray, Wright, BRob?
#11
 I agree with "Wetlander." It's not like BRob has even slowed down. Yeah, i get it, everything is about age. Has BRob showed his age? If he has, i haven't seen it!! I realize it's a business, but I'd like to see some loyalty!!

I can see asking a player to take a pay cut and I was thinking whats the big deal on B Robs part about taking a cut when you only make 3.5 million it cant be that much can it.  But then I looked at it thinking how much cap space can the vikes really clear from a guy only making that much.  I think having him on this team for his leadership alone is worth more than the little cap space his pay cut would clear.  Isnt there a way they could restructure a little from say Everson, Smith or one or all of the higher paid players.  Take a very little form each of them and keep B Rob on the team.

I don’t think the Vikings are picking on him...

Most hear have an emotional attachment that you cannot have in a billion dollar business
As a fan of a team....why wouldn't a person have emotion?  If there is no emotional attachment then what the fucks the point?

Hasn't Pops been a little irritated the last few days?  I would say it's safe to say that Brian has been given some sort of ultimatum.

I dont get how it’s so vital for us to go overboard in treating BRob special. i understand he’s been a Viking his whole NFL career. Careers end, and players aren’t entitled to earn more than they’re worth.  If the best talent evaluators on the Vikings deem him expendable on his current salary, they should move on.  Do what’s best for the Vikings.  
Then why didn't do the same to others who clearly weren't pulling their weight I'm the past.  And if they can't see that BRob is still playing at a top level in limited opportunities then they should seek other employment. The team led the league on 3rd downs last year...Remember who was setting the D for most of those plays?  Here's a hint. ...it wasn't any of our regular 11.

Hey Rick....pay that man his money!
Hmm, so you are a better evaluator of talent than the guy who put this Super Bowl contending team together.  Ok.

When I look at the salary's on spotrac, BRobs salary does not stand out as needing an adjustment.  Actually they all seem pretty fair.  If I was forced to look at someone, it would probably be Ruddy at 7.65 before BRob.

A blind man could see that Robison is pulling his weight on D and that his contract is not out of line.  But if you want to be a smart ass...OK

So you’re still making the argument you know more than the guys paid to put the best team on the field?  The ones who have shown an obvious eye in identifying talent, and manging the salary cap effectively for years.   AD was awesome too, more awesome than Robison, until he wasn’t.  i think I’ll be okay seeing Hunter in his third season more often, and teamed with Richardson.  It’s too bad it may mean making a tough decision.
