Agree, don't forget one of the true Vikings greats was an UDFA too...John Randle.@minny65 said:
It's stupid not to IMO. When your payroll is over $200M and the lowest paid player on your roster clears $800K, it's insane to me that more owners don't risk $300K on a couple of UDFA signing bonuses. Austin Ekeler was a UDFA. Shaq Barrett. Adam Thielen. In the past, Warren Moon, Kurt Warner.@MaroonBells said:
I wonder if teams just forgot about IPJ. I know that sounds ridiculous, because it is. But teams have certain size benchmarks players must meet in order to even be listed on their draft boards.
Why else do you not take a flyer in the 6th or 7th round on one of the best LBs in the country? Once again, kudos to the Wilfs for opening up the purse strings on two of the best UDFAs in the country. Andre Carter being the other. Yea our owners really want to win and are not shy about shelling out the bucks.
