What about that XR for Ramsey trade?

Hughes is going to turn out to be the best CB on this roster. 

from a coverage standpoint I agree,  I just am concerned that he might have trouble defending the high thrown balls in the endzone or other possession type plays if he is matched up on taller bigger body types.  The kids is like fly paper in coverage,  but I do have that reservation on him.

Rhodes just isn't the player he was two years ago...Hughes will eventually/ shortly surpass him...but the Jags won't give up Ramsey...

Depending on what we get out of Hill the last 8 games, along with Mac and Waynes...I'd try to sell high on Rhodes...


 

At what point will the Vikings say "we're done" with Hill?   


 

Well,  we started the season shorthanded and we kept a guy with an 8 game suspension, who sank his own draft stock, that says a lot about his talent/ability...but, next tuck up and he's sent packing...

no reason to cut him until suspension is over. He does not cost a roster spot until then. Good insurance policy. If all is healthy and you are done with his actions, he is gone. personally I think they keep him. 

yes they will keep him for now,  but I agree with Barr,  another screw up and they likely part ways.

I wanna see how this plays out. They kept him Hill because he can play. 

IMO it depends on how nicked up the secondary is at Week#8 and whether Hill stays out of trouble. 

 The Vikes may get to week 8 and say adios. No one knows if the FO sees him as part of the roster long term. I gotta believe he's out of mulligans.

   The issue for the FO  comes down to, is this a player they can count on?   Given his history, man I dunno?

The first time it happens in Rhodes' career, he ends up signing a one year contract at the Veteran's minimum, he will have to figure it out then...

We can trade Rhodes for Jalen Ramsey?? Great, I'm all for that! Let's also trade Cousins for Pat Mahomes.

Just a heads up. Sometimes teams will throw in other things like draft picks to balance a trade.

does anyone really think rhodes will be on the team next year. cut him sign waynes

You really think next offseason he's just cut? No way.

They will try to trade him, but if Wayne's is cheaper they'll sign him and cut/trade Rhodes.

I'm not defending Rhodes but do you all think Zimmer playing more Zone is affecting more than the other guys?

Waynes definitely played in more of a hybrid Zone & Man scheme at MSU. And while FSU did employ both schemes while he was there I can factually state that he played a lot more Man, against the like of Jeffries, Hopkins and Watkins by the way.

With the NFL cracking down on contact after 5 yards and Mike using more and more zone looks to counter bunch formations, misdirection, rub routes and running QBs Xavier might not be the ideal fit any more.
