One guy has been traded and Viking's Twitter is already pissed at Teasley for doing nothing, lmao.

If Seahawks hit on this move Teasley is gonna be answering a lotta questions in late January.

And so will the Packers and Bears GM's who were supposedly kicking the tires too.

I wanted Nelson more than a RB, but its a 1/2 yr deal with a new contract on the near horizon.

Not making excuses, but maybe Teasley has a plan? Whether he can execute it if he does, we’ve got about 13/14 days to play it out still.

I like the OG out of Philly and I'm good with the unsexy move @JIT has been pimping with Pollard too.

I think Taylor is a pipe dream and Barkley's hammy makes me as nervous as a cat in a dog pound for the remainder of this year. Too bad too, cause that would have been a move I might have liked a lot.

Arizona tried out four WRs today: Ronnie Bell, Zay Jones, James Proche and Xavier Guillory.

...aaaaaaand one more time the halftime show can f**k right off.

Isn't it time to at least consider a rock band, instead of various repackaged of rap and rap-adjacent garbage?

Usually the under the radar moves seem to work out better than the flashy ones. But Barkley would have been interesting if he were healthy. Hard to give up anything for a guy who hasn't been on the field this year.

Teasleys plan hasn't been shown yet. Maybe it's better.....

The Vikings lost their best run blocker in Jackson. Trading for Taylor or Barkley doesn't fix that. Renting Nelson would have.

Nelson is the guy I wanted. He's same age as Hutch was when Vikings signed as a UFA. LG problem would've been solved.

I agree with JIT Pollard to Vikings still makes a lotta sense

That's the big sticking point. Q is a LG so if you trade for him, you're going to extend him. Then where does that leave your highly drafted starting LG on a rookie deal? Now you shift him to RG where he might not play as well? Or do you stick with Huber for now and try to upgrade RG in the off-season replacing Fries money? Might be smarter to save that draft capital and cap space to round out your 2027 roster when we don't have a single QB under contract and other core guys eligible for extensions.

Quenton Nelson likes to serve up polite pancakes 😅

The #Chiefs worked out three kickers and kept both Justin Tucker and Harrison Mevis around all day, giving them both physicals after similarly impressive workouts. In the end, with the experience and resume, Tucker gets the PS spot. https://t.co/xNiMwf6wVH

#Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle, suffered an aggravation of his previous chest injury on the reverse last week and his status for Sunday vs the #Chiefs will be determined at a later time, sources say.

Waddle’s availability will be based on how practice goes. pic.twitter.com/OKC4BCVQLA

Please, baby jesus.....no.....😑

The Bears recently called the Titans inquiring about star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons.

Simmons would likely cost a 2027 1st for Tennessee to relinquish their best player before the trade deadline.
