We sign Josh Kline

[Guest]

So.Kubiak and Dennison all the sudden don't know how to coach up.O-Linemen despite years of evidence to the contrary?

Or maybe you still believe it's just evil old Rick sitting in his ivory tower purposely trying to get himself and Zimmer fired.

One thing to keep in mind, because Kline was not a "free agent" but a cut casualty, he is not part of the calculation for draft compensation.  In other words, the Vikes signing Kline does not offset the Vikes losing Easton.  So, assuming Easton and Kline are equal, the Vikes will receive a low draft pick for signing Kline over Easton (unless there is another offset by the Vikes signing another player).  I know that probably doesn't make Cousins sleep better at night, but that is the type of calculation management makes.

Players completely cancel out each other to avoid having to take any subjective skill level into consideration. You're 100% right that Kline will not cost them a comp pick but right now it would appear Richardson is worth a 3rd/4th, Easton would cancel out Shamar Stephen, Latavius would be worth a 6th, Simien a 7th, and Compton/Sendejo will likely fall off as more FA's are signed. Overall that is a decent looking haul still.

3 years almost $16mm with incentives.

Was 18 the anomaly or just the beginning of the end for him?

We need some live bodies on the line. No complaining aloud lol! 

He played hurt for about 1/2 of last season which really gave him some trouble. I wouldn't go so far to say that he is going to become much better, but he should be an adequate option at RG. World Beater? No. But if he's your weakest link you will end up being ok.

Is that from some weird comedy about some dudes in college messing with some spectacular science project?? Looks familiar - Isn't that Iceman from Top Gun on the left playing some geek? LOL!

The Vikings have agreed to a contract with offensive lineman Josh Kline, according to reports. The team confirmed the signing Wednesday on Twitter.
Kline has started all 16 games at right guard for the Tennessee Titans in each of the past two seasons. Before that, the 29-year-old offensive lineman switched between both guard positions for the Titans and the New England Patriots.

Kline is expected to start for the Vikings. He’s agreed to a 3-year contract, according to KSTP and SKOR North’s Darren Wolfson. The signing addresses a clear need for the 2019 Vikings along the offensive line.

so, I suppose he’ll have to switch sides... 

At least the guy has some O-line guns - However, it looks like his head is about to pop like a well fed tick.

Yeah - Real Genius! That was a funny movie - had not thought about that movie forever. But remember it being much better than you would think.

I think we signed him because he fits Remmers' old helmet.
