I honestly don't think we have many guys outside of our "untradables" that anybody would want. Addison is the one guy I think we will get a few calls on. I think the Vikings would probably like to re-sign him, but do we want to end up like the Bengals having huge cap money tied up on two receivers? And can they trust him is the other big question. I'll throw out a team that would likely call and that's Pittsburgh. I don't expect the Vikings to trade him now when they are trying to develope and see what they have in a young quarterback, but if they offered a 1st round pick it might cause them to think about it

Kam will make moves, natives are g getting restless.

My guess is the Vikings will be sellers more than buyers, the dough didn't rise this year.

Wildcard playoff victory is still the goal for me. Until eliminated, they're still in it

If we are buyers, a guy I'd like to see them acquire is Michael Mayer from the Raiders. The TE position has been so underwhelming this season and teams literally know what we are doing depending on if we have Hock or Oliver in the game. Hock is the only real receiving threat between the two and if he goes down we are screwed. If we don't upgrade the position at the deadline, earmark it for upgrade this offseason..

The stats Sticky showed are beyond indefensible. If you are the Wilfs, how can you allow this to continue to happen. This franchise is being totally destroyed and will take years to make up for all of the poor drafting. I think it would make sense to look at making some trades that could help us next year as I do not see this year going anywhere, however we are likely to waste them anyways, just more draft day frustration of watching us get abused by other teams in trades only to then reach on our picks.

Lol well imagine being me who said this exact thing would happen when we hired Mensah on day one and seeing it play out. I was blasted by just about everyone on this board who thought it was some brilliant "outside the box" hire by the Wilfs. Just because you are the smartest guy in the room doesn't mean you know shit about football, and Kwesi knew about stock trading, spreadsheets, and making sure the hotdog cart was filled up for game day...but nothing in his background qualified him to be making important personnel and draft day decisions for an NFL franchise. Its like slow torture at the hands of the Wilfs being a fan of this franchise.

From ESPN today..

Notable trade candidates: RB Aaron Jones Sr., LB Ivan Pace Jr.

Down their fourth-round pick in next year's draft (but with a third-round compensatory pick on the way and handful of late-round picks to make up for it), the Vikings might also want to follow in Houston's footsteps to make up for some of the aggressive moves they made in the past. The Vikings had only five picks in 2025, and at 3-4, they haven't looked like a team that can make a deep playoff push this season.

They're too thin at LB and RB to trade anyone this year from those position groups. Plus they'll want to keep Jones as a weapon for JJM.

I think the team holds serve and wont do anything till off-season

My hope is they bring in new GM/Scouting leadership. My expectation is everyone gets another year barring a complete off-rails 10 game collapse.

I concur with the earlier thought that how we play Sunday could impact just how active we are before the trade deadline on Tuesday. We get curbstomped against the knee biters, it might change opinions on some players they weren't originally planning to move. Tons of intrigue with this game and it's impact on our season.

Agree on the front office leadership. This season goes off the rails, how can the Wilfs justify keeping it status quo after spending almost 300 million on free agent contracts and the draft results being what they've been? They'd look like bigger fool's than giving Mensah the keys to the kingdom in the first place.

First off, @meatsauce1 is freaking hilarious.

Secondly, with those stats, it's surprising that he was extended. I recognize his job is more than just the draft, but wowsa that is bad data...especially for a data guy. It would have been amazing if the Wilfs brought that data into their negotiation meetings with Kwesi and asked him to sell it.

While you take a risk in FA, I do believe Kwesi did a good job of bringing players in to compete day 1 in '25. It's the responsibilty of the players and the coaches to execute from that point and so far, several of them have underperformed.

Like others, I think Hock is on the short list of possible player moves, but with Oliver hurt as well as Bart, I don't see it happening. I don't us moving on Addison, but Nailer is a possibility.

IMO TJH is taking one for the team by being asked to block so much...I think we can look to draft a TE next year, but I'd tread lightly with Hock for now.

My gut says his production drop-off is how he is being used as much or more than anything. Might be plenty of gas in tank and burst in the step. We're just not privy to it much.
