TJ Hockenson
Lot of rumors that the Vikes are trying to get him to restructure otherwise may end up cutting him. He has clearly not been the same since his injury. We have no other options currently in regards to a passing catching TE.
It feels like we really have needed more from the TE position the past two years. Has not been that reliable go to target in key 3rd down situations. If we decided to go in another direction, from a pass catching TE perspective, I like Jonnu Smith who was recently cut by Steelers. He had a monster year with 88 receptions for the Dolphins in 2024 and looked unstoppable.

I was under the belief that Hock is under contract for 2027, though he's going to have an even bigger cap number in 2027 (and 2028). Over-the-cap hasn't posted his restructured contract numbers yet, but I believe the restructure will add about $7m to 2027 and to 2028 cap numbers (2028 is a void year)
They chopped off the final year, making him a free agent after this season.

John Carlson slowly churned his legs so that Kyle Rudolph could crawl down the field so that Hock could wade through quicksand.
Kleinsasser gotta be rolling over in his grave smh. Hopefully I’m wrong about 2026 TJ.
This is very much under my own fan radar. Ive kind of given up on the guy after last season, I really thought he would get a bunch of balls from JJM.
Glad to have him in 26 tbh and I'd like to see a bone thrown to the TE room this draft again. Someone who can actually run a route.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Jimmy K is still very much alive, not sure why hed be in a grave.
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?
In tight end related news, Johnny Mundt just got released by the Jaguars in a cap savings move. The Vikings will soon need a TE1 with Hock on the last year of his contract, and though Mundt is not a TE1 and is now 32, he appeared to be one of KOC's favorites.

Some of these FA contracts every year really are kind of a joke, like Mundt's. The Jags signed him to a reasonable, 2 year deal and he can't even make the other year?

KOC called Mundt the best #3 TE in the NFL.
