Starts 3/15. For some reason that eludes me, Stephen is still on the roster.

If Jud said the sun was coming up tomorrow, I'd buy flashlights.



They aren't a finalist. The Vikings currently have the most money offered to him. 


and with 2 days until signings... a lot can happen between the leader out of the gate and when they are coming down the home stretch.

Hearing the Vikings have offers in to Griffin and Lawson. Not surprisingly, Thuney is getting a ton of calls.

Its not as crazy as it sounds. Although I backed down on it in my mock off-season I'd actually put Shaq in it since he fits what we do so much. That is without knowing of their interest. Alternatively that is why I ended up using a 1st on Horn. Even if they add him on a backloaded deal (like all deals will be this off-season) they'll be spending below league average at CB and have a 1A/1B along with Gladney as a + slot option.

My understanding is the #Jets, #Vikings, #Browns have all shown interest in adding #Saints DE Trey Hendrickson, per source. That list is in no particular order.

If the team is positioning Gladney as slot, I guess Hughes is done?

Hendrickson is fine but you're making a mistake if you pay him for his 2020 sack numbers. His pressure to sack conversion rate was unsustainable.

One team to watch re free agent All-Pro C Corey Linsley — the Arizona Cardinals.

Arizona has made protecting Kyler Murray its chief priority this off-season. Linsley, formerly of the Packers, is one of the top interior offensive linemen in the game.

It remains to be seen if the #Vikings will bring back free-agent guard Dakota Dozier, who had his ups and downs last season as a starter. If it were to happen, nothing would be imminent. Dozier has played the last two years for Minnesota on minimum deals.

Thanks, Chris. I'm just waiting for a journalism school to be named after you.

Panthers see Erving of a LT, Elflein as G/C. Adds to competition, depth on their OL. Still see them as team that will build mostly through the draft long-term.

Both linemen -- OG Pat Elflein and OT Cam Erving -- that agreed to deals with the Panthers today have been with multiple teams. Both also have played multiple positions on the offensive line, so they can compete at different spots. Both are mid-level... https://es.pn/3lhDm5D

Free agent tackle Rashod Hill has a few teams interested, including the #Vikings, and a decision is expected within the next day, according to a league source. Hill, 29, has made 17 starts for Minnesota in the last four years.

is there a starting LT spot out there for Hill?  One that he will be the leading candidate for if he walks?   If not IMO him staying in purple for 1 more year would be in his best interest.  He knows the system,  the team, the facility,  etc... and with the opening he will likely be given a pretty fair shot at winning that starting role where he could then parlay that into a fat contract next offseaon.

They haven't reached out to Cole yet. Also a few names they're in on that haven't been mentioned here.

Nothing close yet on an extension for Harrison Smith, who's entering the final year of his contract. But talks have taken place and will continue. Be nice to wrap him up, save 2021 $$, and
