Shatley Visiting: Oh the jokes that could ensue...

Vikings hosting former Jaguars lineman Tyler Shatley on visitAfter signing Josh Kline to a three-year deal on Wednesday, the Vikings are back on the hunt for affordable offensive linemen.The team is hosting former Jaguars lineman Tyler Shatley on a free-agent visit on Friday, a NFL source confirmed. Shatley, an undrafted free agent in 2014, started seven games for the Jaguars at center last season, and made 15 starts over the past three seasons at center and guard. He allowed three sacks and six hurries in 311 pass-blocking snaps last season, according to Pro Football Focus.
Shatley started at center for the Jaguars in 2016 against the Vikings, playing 66 snaps in the game, but finished the season at left guard. Were the Vikings to sign him, he’d seem likely to compete for a job at guard, while giving the team depth at center in case of an injury to Pat Elflein.

Yeah...wow...I can just imagine the comments for any failed block...!

"Tyler definitely took a big Shatley on that play".

So does this mean Brett Jones is a goner?

Probably means they're preparing to lose him.

The team has offered him a contact that he has yet to accept, so...

With the third worst cap situation, all the Vikings could do was approach free agency in a Shatley manner...

[Guest]

Well it looks like the Vikings did NOT "Shat" and get off the pot because his visit is over without a deal.

[Guest]

No Shat, must have offered him Shinola...

... why didnt anyone think of all 5 lineman shitting their pants as a blocking strategy last season? I promise it would have given Kirk more time back there...

Oh what a lost opportunity for laughter...Coulda been epic. 

We were just getting warmed-up here.
