Quenton Nelson to Seattle for a third and a fifth. How do we not match that?

He probably looked at our running back stable…!?😱😇 A diversion to “Dwarf Tossing” perhaps…?

Are you suggesting we let Kyler Murray take a snap and then toss him across the LOS? Not a bad thought on fourth and 1. And if we can toss him to TJ Hockenson, we can call that a completed pass. I like it.

Hopefully it’s because we’re acquiring Taylor instead? That’s my hope anyway!:flag_wave:

Are we sure?

I would have done that, in a heart-beat...

Feels like a no brainer. You probably get the 3rd back a year later.

Seahawks GM John Schneider taught Teasley everything that Teasley knows. He just didn't teach Teasley everything that Schneider knows.

3rd round pick for a 11 game rental and a 30 mil/yr contract in the off-season is steep.

Yes, you likely get that pick back in 2028 but teasley wants that pick to reload in 2027. And he plays the same position as our 1st round pick last year and nobody knows if you can just say switch positions and be as effective

He can just be a rental. Don't have to resign him.

Vikings needed a mauler when Jackson went on IR, Seattle now has 2 of them.

Nelson would've been Vikings best run blocker Day 1, In late January teams that win run the ball. Wonder who Teasley will go after.

Seattle significantly improved today, this move stings. What could've been.....

Don't trade JJ.

Nelson gone, Buckner gone. Are we still going to be standing when the music stops? I just can't believe how cheap these guys are going for, and now that the Colts owner has said he doesn't want to trade Taylor, it means he's holding out for a higher pick.

That's right. Keep thinking of Bob Irsay

Now is the time to make a move if you are going to do it. Not next week or the week after. To hell with waiting to see how the Vikings are going to play against the Lions and/or Bills. They are heading into a tough part of the schedule and need the help now. I like your idea. Pick a chair before the music stops.

Yeah before I said wait a week and see how Kyler does. I did not anticipate Indy doing a firesale weeks before the trade deadline.
