Cole started 7 straight games for the Vikings last year, 4 at center and 3 at right guard, before missing the final 3 games of year with hurt elbow
Thanks for the heads up Chris, Cole to the Steelers on 3 yr deal…

That's roster building 101. Not what the Vikings are doing..
-Seems pretty simple. Here is the blueprint.
-First, you need to have the worst record in the league at the time when one of the top college QBs in years is about to enter the draft so you can select that star QB.
-Second, the next year, also have a terrible record so you can draft that QB's stud college WR with whom he had one of the best college offenses of all time.
-Now, with all the cap space you will have by having your best players on rookie contracts, sign free agents to fill any obvious holes in your roster. Done.
Kinda reminds me of the Steve Martin joke: How to be a millionaire and never pay taxes. First, get a million dollars. ...Yup that's the blueprint. Draft a franchise quarterback without selling the farm to do so. If that's tanking....than that's tanking. Then spending available cap and draft resources building around them on a rookie contract until its time to pay the piper once its established that they are the franchise player you wanted. That's your window in today's NFL.
The Vikings have taken four 1st round QB's in the 60 years this franchise has been in existence. Kramer, Culpepper, Ponder, and Bridgewater with Culpepper being the highest drafted (11th overall). So in the entirety of this franchise we've never drafted a QB in the top 10 picks. That's mind blowing. We've always been just good enough to not be in position to do so. It's also no coincidence that we haven't been to a Super Bowl since 1976 and have been in groundhogs day type mediocrity for 45 years. I just see more of the same with Cousins and his contract moving forward. If I'm wrong, I'll happily be wrong...but I think the Bengals got it right and are now going to be a legit contender for at least the next four years if not longer.

Why doesn't every team do this?

To me the model is the saints/steelers. They hit on Rothlisberger and Brees in different ways obviously, but they contend every year because they invest in their fronts and draft extremely well.i dont agree with tanking at all, i think its a total shit sandwich handed to the fans.
Love it. Build inside out. I suppose Pierce is gone as we have tomlinson, watts and lynch. Getting younger and cheaper
@"JustinTime18™" said:I assumed Dalvin would be a 5T in the 3-4.Source confirms the #Vikings have agreed with Bills DT Harrison Phillips on a three-year, $19.5 million deal. We'll see what that means for the middle of their defensive line, but for the time being, three's a crowd.
@"Havoc1649" said: Phillips is a really good get. Guy can play.He seems to be very popular among the Billbos. Would've preferred keeping Pierce, but Phillips has some upside.

The 2018 third-round pick has dealt with some injuries but has developed into a good player. He was also the Bills' Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee last year.
