Hughes traded to Chiefs
2022 6th and 7th round picks
Jesus, that's nothing. Wonder if that means the Gladney situation is ok?
Thank goodness we have an embarrassment of riches @ DB.
I personally doubt Gladney sees a snap this year.
Nothing like selling low..
I think we are swapping 6th for 7th. Not even worth a late round pick straight up. Seems like a very dumb move.

Wow. Does this mean the Vikings coaches think his career is pretty much done? $3M ain't much considering we already have $10M+ in cap space. Unless Hunter has them absolutely over a barrel I fail to see why this move makes sense. I would've thought they at least wanted to check his health in offseason workouts? Hughes' health I mean, but I guess Hunter too. Strange...
But ultimately, probably won't affect us much this year. Not much to get too worked up over.
I still don't like trading pennies on the dollar. Anytime you are swapping a former 1st round pick (who has shown potential) for late round fodder its a fail.
So with Gladneys situation in the air, this leaves us with Peterson/Dantzler starting, Alexander in the slot with Hand and Boyd as the primary backups. I would of felt a lot better about this trade if the Gladney situation was clearer

Only thing Hughes has shown is he can't stay on the field...

1 of 6 .........Ouch.
Am I bummed with what we got? Yep, sure am. That being said, we already busted on Hughes. Before he re-hurt his neck last season, he didn't even look the same. Playing way off, was super late to react to what the receiver was doing, etc... I think the ACL hurt him more than what we first thought it would.
The pick swaps don't really matter to me, but if we are getting 3 mil back in cap space, I am happy about that. Give it to 75, or put it towards signing one more solid free agent.

And he'll most likely be gone after this season too.
I dont know how that hit rate compares to NFL Avg, but that sure don't go down easy or taste good with wine or beer.
He's got to pass his physical. Regardless, they must feel pretty good about the Gladney situation to move a depth guy.

If we are freeing up more cap space, gotta think we are getting ready to do some semi-serious shopping...
