Yeah, isn't this like bringing in a guy that was kind of on "paid leave"? Does it even make any impact on the Vikings' payroll - or what Treadwell receives?

‘Super geeked’ to be back with Vikings, Laquon Treadwell basically is playing for freeLaquon Treadwell is essentially playing for the Vikings for free now. 
When the 24-year-old receiver was waived Aug. 31 by Minnesota, he left with $1.15 million guaranteed on his $1.8 million contract for 2019. He re-signed with the Vikings on Tuesday on a prorated one-year, $720,000 contract.
Treadwell had offset language in his previous contract, meaning he doesn’t get anything extra with his new deal and it will be a salary-cap credit for the Vikings next season. Treadwell could have earned the same $1.15 million this season by sitting out, but he never considered that.

I laugh when somone says he knows the offense---yeah he just can't execute it.

That was me...why else would be be here other than knowing the offense? ST play? Aldrick Robinson was available and way more productive.

If this was such a solid move, why was he ever cut in the first place? Its necessity bred from desperation. Beebe and Doctson are out for awhile, enter a familiar yet useless entity in Treadwell. The rest of the league must agree as he went unsigned elsewhere.

Apparently a Lot of useless names out there as free agents right now.  Just that this one doesnt cost the team a dime to come in and fill a role,  and as said he is already familiar with everything so for a 2 or 3 week guy to fill in...I dont see a better option once all the facts are laid out.

I second that...

Jimmy would have that Avatar for as long as Treadie is on the active roster

That would be until about Week 10

Nah,  my avatar is what it is.  I cheered for the guy to turn into something because it would help my team,  I didn't mention him once when he was gone and only really like the move due to the fact that outside our 1 and 2 receivers the rest are just fillers so there was no point wasting half a million or more on cap that would roll over to next years cap on a player that really wont contribute much.

Treadwell is working for free,  if there was a better option available I would love to hear who.

I just made the comment on exploding heads because of the apparent enjoyment so many have shown from his failures they wouldn't know how to react if he actually did something they couldn't crow about.

Love his work ethic.  Z called him a good kid, who knows he may contribute something to our team, for free

That would equal his career high for any type of TD, so my head might not explode, but it might relieve the migranes he has given us all...

The price is right anyway
