Hughes traded to Chiefs

I still don't like trading pennies on the dollar. Anytime you are swapping a former 1st round pick (who has shown potential) for late round fodder its a fail. 

So with Gladneys situation in the air, this leaves us with Peterson/Dantzler starting, Alexander in the slot with Hand and Boyd as the primary backups. I would of felt a lot better about this trade if the Gladney situation was clearer 

Only thing Hughes has shown is he can't stay on the field...

Who picks up his salary cap

Them, I read it saves the Vikings 3M.

I wonder if this is the real impetus for trading him off for so little???

Am I bummed with what we got?  Yep, sure am.  That being said, we already busted on Hughes. Before he re-hurt his neck last season, he didn't even look the same.  Playing way off, was super late to react to what the receiver was doing, etc...  I think the ACL hurt him more than what we first thought it would.

The pick swaps don't really matter to me, but if we are getting 3 mil back in cap space, I am happy about that.  Give it to 75, or put it towards signing one more solid free agent.

And he'll most likely be gone after this season too. 

I dont know how that hit rate compares to NFL Avg, but that sure don't go down easy or taste good with wine or beer.

He's got to pass his physical. Regardless, they must feel pretty good about the Gladney situation to move a depth guy.

that's what I was thinking

If we are freeing up more cap space, gotta think we are getting ready to do some semi-serious shopping...

Unless the Vikings are really not confident in Wonnum, I just don't get the Kerrigan rumors...especially after the draft. I'd rather see those snaps go to the young guys already on the roster
