Bashaud Breeland visited the Vikings today.
Former Chiefs CB Bashaud Breeland visited the #Vikings today, per @ByNateTaylor.

Breeland in 2020:
- 72.9 PFF coverage grade
- 55.6 completion percentage allowed
- 2 INT, 9 passes defended, 1 FF
Versatile, physical seven-year veteran. Would be a big add for Minnesota.

Is he really serious about coming here or is he using us as leverage against KC to get a better deal?
We don't have much cap space until Rudy's money comes off the books in June correct?

Hughes leaving just exacerbated this situation. Wilf's dont take that kinda s hit lightly. If he wasn't a high pick? He'd already been cut.
@"BarrNone55" said: I'm not sure if charges were actually filed yet.he turned himself in and is out on bond since early april. you dont have to put up bond unless you are formally charged?
@"BarrNone55" said:It would be great if we could sign him, but I would also like to see us add another veteran WR because I don't have any faith in Beebe staying healthy, or Bisi becoming a consistent receiving threat in this offense.@"TBro" said: Is he really serious about coming here or is he using us as leverage against KC to get a better deal?

Again I don't understand the Hughes trade with the Gladney situation up in the air and now bringing in street free agents to address your depth issues. Why trade Hughes? They got virtually a zero return on a first round pick from just three years ago and now you have potential depth issues at the position.
@"BarrNone55" said:mine was a question, I dont think you do, but since I am a fine upstanding member of society I have always been ROR'd and dont really remember the whole process since I was usually hung over through that part.@"JimmyinSD" said:That sounds logical, but...@"BarrNone55" said: I'm not sure if charges were actually filed yet. he turned himself in and is out on bond since early april. you dont have to put up bond unless you are formally charged?

I am also wondering if he may have been pushing for a new contract since his 5th year wasnt picked up, really not worth the effort based on what we have seen to date.
@"JimmyinSD" said:I think he had shown potential when healthy and by all accounts was going to be ready when the season started. He already knew the system and wasn't going to be counted on to start so he was actually a perfect depth guy with high upside. It just didn't make any sense to me with Gladney's situation to move Hughes for essentially a swap of late round picks when he was our 1st round pick three years ago. Now we are scouring free agency for depth. Just a curious decision to move him@"supafreak84" said: Again I don't understand the Hughes trade with the Gladney situation up in the air and now bringing in street free agents to address your depth issues.

I don't know that they are scouring anything. They certainly don't seem desperate and seem to always be looking for ways to make the team better.

@"JimmyinSD" said:I'll disagree. I think he's played well in spurts when healthy. The injuries have been unfortunate. My gripe is that we traded a former first round pick for peanuts and have since signed Parry Nickerson and have made an offer to Bashaud Breeland. I think both those guys are a downgrade to a healthy Mike Hughes, who we weren't counting on to start anyways.@"supafreak84" said:Hughes hasnt impressed since early in his rookie season.@"JimmyinSD" said:I think he had shown potential when healthy and by all accounts was going to be ready when the season started.

@"supafreak84" said:hes played so little since his rookie year, but from my recollection he played really soft coverage, his hips got really stiff so even with the large cushion he was still getting exposed on deeper routes. He just seemed last year like he was away from the game/training to much.@"JimmyinSD" said:I'll disagree. I think he's played well in spurts when healthy. The injuries have been unfortunate.

I am guessing his neck isnt 100% like has been reported or his attitude has gone to shit since his 5th years wasnt picked up.

They have not been filed, sounds like the NFL has a 6 game suspension though for first time offenders, if they deem him a violator…
