The way Hunter was beating his ass every rep in training camp maybe we're having 2nd thoughts.

First, congrats to O’Neill! Hope he earns every dime and plays well for us. 

Second, an hour or so ago I was scrolling up twitter and I see a PFT tweet/article with Zimmer saying the Vikings roster is very top-heavy with salaries so depth could be an issue.

Then shortly after I hear O’Neill is extended.

Strange comment and timing by Zimmer. Maybe I’m reading too much into that but it just seemed weird that you’d say something like that to the media 30 mins before the team announces they locked up their best o-lineman with a huge new deal.

The top heavy contract resides w/ our resident Kook, goes by the name of Cousins…

It was sometime during his 10:30a press conference today. ONeill extension was announced by Vikings twitter right at noon. 

Again I don’t want to read too much into it, but it struck me as odd. Coupled with all of his vaccine frustration type of comments the past couple of months, I do wonder if the Belichick approach of not saying anything at all has some merit. Clearly Zim doesn’t give a what haha, but we knew that.
