Deserved its own thread...one to watch...

Excellent physical traits: 6'4"+, 220 lbs. 4.6 forty. Big arm. I like this very much as a developmental QB. Wiry strong kid, could settle in at 230 lbs. with NFL strength program. Upside so much better than Heinicke. A 'gamer'. Needs more experience playing under center, which he'll get. Vikings obviously super high on him as they paid him almost 3 times the going rate for a practice squad guy.

Vikings said they watched every one of his preseason throws and college throws.

This guy's college career reads like a tale from Homer...wonder how he holds up vs glass doors...

Wow. I am in Estes Park with a friend who was super bummed that the Broncos tried to stash this guy on the practice squad. I didn't realize we had picked him up!

Great developmental project!

Sloter's preseason numbers: 31-of-43 for 413 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs, 125.4 rating.
As we know, preseason and regular season are two completely different animals, but still a nice stat line.

People here in Denver are pissed, and I love it! I was saying for the last 2 weeks, you better not get cute and cut him with all the tape he's put out this preseason and think he will cruise right to your PS.

Yep, and he's only making like $90k less than the vet roster minimum so he's the #3 QB on this team. Unheard of for a practice squad player. But keep in mind he's still raw. Lots of development required.

Vikings went hard and opened the check book. I was surprised, but thought they were obviously high on the kid. Should be fun to watch his development next offseason. 

Question - is he on the 53 or practice squad? PS means he can be signed by another team correct?

There's the answer to the "Teddy vs. Sam" debate.  If Sam doesn't "prove it" this year, he's gone... and it'll be a decision of "Teddy vs. Sloter".  Maybe...
