After the Smith signing is there any money left except for draft picks?

I’ll never question “The Brzez”

Bates would probably come cheaper, but hey - it aint my money

I think Tretter is out of range without another (Kendricks?) restructure. Bates is possible, but I read he was in Chicago today, and they already lost James Daniels, so I'm guessing they're even more desperate than we are.

Just took a quick look at Vikes cap on Overthecap. Currently have $14MM and some change in space, but that doesn't include Za'Darius' contract nor does it include Thielen's cap savings. Draft class will be a hair under $10MM so we probably could get one of them as it currently stands. A restructure to Kendricks and Cook could mean both.

$10M for our rookie class seems really high. I think it should be about half of that - about $5 or $6M.

Scroll about half way down: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/minnesota-vikings/cap/

Spotrac is saying $9.7

Perhaps, but don't overpay for Bates. I think you do whatever you can to get Tretter

Both guys have to want to be here too, especially Bates.
