ONeill EXTENDED 5yr/$92 million

[Guest]

Glad we got him tied up but this a tad rich. But, like most contracts, within a year it will look more reasonable.

No no no.  Don't teach the Lions anything.  Its nice getting to play them twice a year.

Here is a question to ponder: between Harrison Smith's and Brian O'Neill's extensions, which one do you think is the most "too rich"?

Also, I would guess that the future Oline is not Darrisaw/Cleveland/Bradbury/Davis/O'Neill but Darrisaw/Cleveland/Davis/Udoh/O'Neill.

Why does everyone think Davis can play center? Has he done it at any level? I'm seriously asking....

I'd be surprised if Minnesota resigns Bradbury. But I'm still not sure if Bradbury just isn't a fan favorite because he's smaller or if the team really thinks he might be a liability. The team might love him. Proof will be in the next contract....or lack thereof. I can tell you he's not going anywhere next year: his dead cap money would be $4.1 million in 2022.

This year is key for Bradbury. He has to improve his pass blocking by leaps and bounds in order to get his 5th year option. Centers make the biggest leap in their development in year 3, and this is his third year, so we'll see. I can see him improving, but he might still be the weak link among those three IOLs (at least in pass pro). Honestly, I have a hunch Cleveland and Udoh will be the stars of the line. 

Vikings obviously want to get bigger on the line. Davis is a little bigger than Bradbury. He hasn't played center that I'm aware of (until camp) but he's a little bigger than Bradbury and he seems to have a better anchor.

Davante Adams on the chances of getting a contract extension done before the season opener, which has been a point where deals have gotten done in the past:

"No. No chance."

I could see that, but maybe Cleveland moves to C with Udoh and Davis as Gs.  Hopefully Bradbury proves us wrong and starts playing like we all hoped and expected.

The hope for Bradbury is for improvement from within and by having better OG's on either side of him...

Agree with @MB, this is a crucial year for him when it comes to wearing a Vikings uniform in the future.
