Somebody loves this guy. Smart to set him up to succeed with an improved O-line in front of him.

So my little birdie yesterday sent me a text that just said 'Friiiiies!'....that's why I said in another thread about Fries **cough** and **double cough**.....but then we corresponded a bit and he thought it would get done late yesterday and wasn't sure it was a great sign it didn't happen last night. Great news.

Here’s what you’re getting with new Vikings G Will Fries: a straight-up bully, a relentless finisher, and the kind of guy who’s going to make sure the Vikings' OL has JJ McCarthy’s back. Absolute enforcer!

This might be one of those times the organization's reputation and trajectory got them a W over a little bit more money. But that's not 100%. Tanner Weber @Purple_Post · 16m According to Albert Breer, the #Vikings beat out the Colts, Patriots, Giants, Seahawks, and Cardinals in the bidding war for Will Fries.
I think we’re going to find out Fries left a lot of money on the table to come here. You cannot tell me he didn’t have offers in the low 20a aav.
