Da fuck? This is highly disapointing. Brian belonds on this team as the primary backup DE. Sorry Brian and Pops.

Pops... you know where I stand.

As far as cutting BRob and keeping Newman and Sherels... what a stupid fucking move. Newman cant cover shit any more and Sherels never could. MS's contributions as a punt returner as easily covered by Hughes and or Hill and or Beebe (another dumb cut IMO, but not to the level of parting ways with Brian)

I could go along with it if I could see how its in the teams best interest, but I dont. Brian was the 3rd best DE on the roster and easily one of the most versatile guys up front. Rick fucked him right in the ass. This would have made a little bit of sense if they had kept Odenigbo... but hes gone as well. Just plain stupid, its moves like this that makes me wonder if they are even trying to win a superbowl over there.

Fucking Stupid.

Best of luck to a classy player, and his dad as a classy poster. A sad day to see a great viking depart. These are never easy, but they are inevitable. If Brob clears waivers, maybe the vikings bring him back at a later date???

Yeah I'm not a fan of this. Not just because of the warm and fuzzies because he seemed like a good dude and Pops posted here and also seemed awesome. I think this is a bad decision from a football standpoint. Guy had at least another year or two left in my opinion. He might not've warranted a starter anymore but I'd have utilized him in some role.

Is there any chance we could bring him back at a reduced price (if no one else signs him)?
Maybe I'm in denial. And BRob certainly didn't need to take any more pay-cuts for the team.
In the end, no matter what happens, he played the game the way it was supposed to be played... and was a "poet warrior" on and off the field. He was a Viking that we could ALWAYS be proud to call our own. And we always will.

I was hoping that we'd get one more season of Brian in purple. He's been an exemplary Viking for the past 11-years and even though things are difficult now, he and Pops will always be part of the Vikings family. I wish him great success in whatever he chooses to do next.

It's odd to think 11 years as a full career. The NFL is so cut throat.

I literally have a memory of being at my COLLEGE bar and the chyron had the Vikings D-line up and I thought "Brian Who?" He was the rookie we'd drafted.

Time flies. I'm sure he'll have a successful career in football after this which is reassuring.

That is heartbreaking. He is one of my favorite players and one of the classiest in the league. I will miss 96Questions this season. I know he’d rather be on his boat hauling in fish, but maybe...just maybe...Vikings Entertainment Network could hire him.
Anyway, thank you, BRob, for all you’ve given us. And thank you, Pops, for raising him right. I’m sorry we didn’t tet a ring together.

Shit. I understand it, but it's still sad. Thanks for everything Brian and Pops.

Doesn't Patterson need a protege? BRob is the kind of guy I'd like to see continue to be associated with this franchise.
