Look for Mason to be that tough inside runner for us this year. He's our Montgomery and Aaron Jones is our Gibbs.

So in summation Ed Ingram and #160 get us Jordan Mason and #187. Dig it!

P.S.: Much of Mason's 2025 cap hit will be paid for by cutting Ty Chandler

Wow the Vikings just filled a major major need This was an outstanding signing He's gonna kill it\

Wonder if he’s related to Tommy Mason.

Nice sized RB that runs hard and pass blocks well. Trustworthy. We've got Thunder and Lightning now. Also: can do anything and go anywhere with that first round pick. I figured they'd want a bigger back with size for RB2. 49ers had a 2nd round tender on him contactually. just 25 years old. Decent get for sure. Take a developmental RB late or not at all, don't need to. Always nice to gather talent from organizations that are chucking for cap space.

Minnesota aggressively attacking their needs via free agency. Hell yeah. 2025 offseason was always the target and now we are seeing it.

 Not winning the NFC will be a failure.

Not sure about that, but they've definitely made themselves more competitive with NFC elite like Detroit and Philly. Aggressively attacking weaknesses in the roster. It'll come down to QB play I think for Minnesota. They aren't operating in a vacuum, so other teams like Washington have improved as well.
