Breaking: Former #Bills CB Levi Wallace has agreed to terms with the Pittsburgh #Steelers on a 2-yr deal worth $8M, per sources.

maybe you better leave KAM the number to Gladneys agent next time you call,  we might end up that desperate.

Vikings to sign LB Jordan Hicks from Arizona for 2 years $10M with $6.5M guaranteed.

Jordan Hicks? Ugh...that dude is not very good

You can get a Nick Vigil who had a better coverage grade (if you believe in the PFF grades) than Hicks.  

I mean, I guess it is OK but what about Dye and Surratt?

Shaq Mason (the #4 rated guard last year) goes for a 5th and has salaries of 6.5 and 7.5M the next two years and Kwesi could not get in on that action?  Would not surprise me if he had no clue about it to be honest.  Many other GMs probably did not either though.

Still, if you are going to continue to give Kirk freakin Cousins money, then why not give him the most best protection possible so that he does not have to move (he already barely moves).

I guess more moves are coming or they will draft a guard early.

I would have tried to sign a guard and draft a LB early.

I have no clue what analytics led to this decision but an average LB for 5M per year when you are tight against the cap and need to sign some cornerbacks too?

Hard to get aggressive in FA when you dont have your cap figured out when FA starts.  I am sure they will field some sort of team but this is so Vikingesque to get the fans excited and then.........

LB Josey Jewell back to the Broncos for a two-year, $11-million deal, per source.

Damnit. Maybe when we figure Thielen and Hunter we will get Bobby Wagner? :) Speak it into existence?

The Arizona Cardinals drafted LBs with back to back 1st round picks and Jordan Hicks still earned a starting role in 2021. He played a big role in their defensive resurgence and even had a good relationship w/ Simmons & Collins

Sounds like Kwesi brought in another CULTURE

The #Vikings have reached out to multiple free agents, including CB Darious Williams, CB Patrick Peterson, and OLB Za'Darius Smith.

Screw that.  Old broken players go to Seattle from MN, not the other way around.

Do I have this right? The fan base that wants to tank to get better draft picks isn't patient enough to get through Day 2 of FA without getting all pissy.

JFC.

Not sure if you’re kidding or not but I would 100% take Bobby Wagner so long as his contract isnt outrageous. He’s about as durable as they come and rarely misses games, which has been the biggest issue with the Vikes defense the last two years. Gotta have guys that stay on the field

@PFF ranked Hicks 34th out of 95 LBs overall last season -- but 12th as a pass rusher.

Vikings now have two reliable MLBs, assuming Eric Kendricks sticks around.

Things I trust more than PFF: single ply toilet paper after a Taco Bell binge.

I didn’t link it but Wolfson says there’s a Thielen restructure about to come down the pipe.

This team has missed the playoffs the last two seasons.

What is there to be happy about?

It does not matter what they do until they do something on the MFing field.

I'll be pissed all offseason and will not drink any freakin kool aid.

Sounds like to me that you want the smoke to be blown where the sun don't shine.

I got you.
