Is your phone charged up? Seattle, SF, and Chicago all got better the last couple days.

BIG TRADE, Vikings sign 2. And then go on to mention the two TEs that were signed.

The more I think about trading for Jonathon Taylor, the more I realize what a weird place it'd put the roster in.

Currently we have a short, shotgun-loving, quick passing, scrambling, TE-targeting Quarterback. Which is something KO has traditionally not valued at all.

Jonathon Taylor is an incredibly talented running back... Which is something KO has traditionally not valued at all.

On paper an offense with JT, Jefferson, Kyler and co. is a JUGGERNAUT. And RBs are more plug n play than Quarterbacks. But is KO the guy to make all these pieces mesh? Four years ago I'd have said yes, KO will have this baby humming 100%.

But after a year and a half of watching Jefferson and Addison get underfed to the point of starvation, I don't know anymore. As much as I wanna believe JT is our savior so they should do the damn deal already, there's an equal if not greater chance he's fools gold. But there's only one way to find out. High stakes.

Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason are free agents at the end of this season, so we're going to have to use a high draft pick on a running back anyway. If we can get JT for a second, particularly with KOC trying to emphasize the run game, I say the Vikes about have to do it.

This is totally reckless speculation on my part, sooooooooooo…

Deal is already done. Hold up on it being announced is getting Taylor’s contract redone. And maybe Addison’s contract.

Yup. We’re currently going into 27 with Claiborne under contract. That’s it.
