OBJ to the Vikes?

And apparently Jay Glazer has some HUGE news to pass along later today.

WHOA. From @jayglazer w/us on @FoxSportsRadio - 'I am breaking big, big news tomorrow night on Fox Football Now. I mean big, national news tomorrow. I'm not kidding around.'

I really don't know how to feel about this. We just got done dealing with the Diggs drama, only to go out and get OBJ? I know the dude is supremely talented, but man.....Kirk's head might explode.

I'll believe it when I see it, but a 2nd rounder in exchange for a guy who just a year ago drew a mid-first and a starting safety? Yeah, I'd pull the trigger on that. Especially comparing his talent with the talent of receivers we'll see at 58. 

The talent is without question. My problem is any potential distractions and issues down the line. But I guess if anyone can handle that storm it would be Zim.

I agree....doesn't make a lot of sense. But the money might...Also have to wonder if Harris is part of this. Cleveland is known to want him...

Eh, damn salary cap issues. I'd hate to lose Harris, especially with how young our backend is going to look this year.

Next year. 2nd and a 5th...next...year...

You'd love to be able to keep both Harris and Harry, but I've traded him for a 3rd in every mock I've done for a month. It just makes more sense financially, and in terms of roster structure, to pair one of our veterans (personally, I'd rather trade Harry but I know that's less likely), with a draft pick. I know, Barr, blocked. :-)

Not buying it. Doesnt feel like a cultural fit.

They dont take on perceived problem children/malcontents but tend to trade em away.

This could just be talk about a Harris trade, which has been rumored for a month, and the fact that they're talking is being misinterpreted to involve OBJ. But the fact that Glazer says he has an huge NFL announcement to make kinda makes you wonder. He's not often wrong. 

Looks like Glazer put cold water on this, for now. Says his big news is not transactional with a player getting traded or signed.

God, I hope it's not bad news. Like something involving the virus's impact on the NFL. 

I'd be a lot more happy with this if we were able to get the Bills to eat some of Diggs' dead cap money. OBJ is definitely better than Stefon but acquiring OBJ certainly doesn't make things easy with the cap and it'd guarantee no Anthony Harris for Trent Williams. 

I hope it's all smoke.
I don't like the fit or the finances of it. OBJ being like top 5 in my most despised current player list doesn't make it feel better either.

Upon reading the tea leaves I say...  B)
