Brez is really maximizing draft picks and salaries - Comparison on moves
I do think all of these players are semi tied together although its not as clear on its face.
Did not resign Nailor - The money was too high for the vikings. However it opened up for a 5th round compensation pick in the 2027 draft
Greenard wants more money. Brez works with Rosenhaus, saying if you can find a deal and contract we will work with you. The Vikings needed more opportunity for Turner. Final offer comes in for 2 - 3rd round picks - 1 in 2026 and 1 in 2027 and saves $12 million on salary cap. The Vikings treated Greenard and Rosenhaus well.
Vikings draft Thomas SS in the 3rd.
Vikings with 2 additional draft picks in 2027 see value at the end of the draft at RB and trade a 6th to pick up Claiborne
Vikings work again with Rosenhaus and sign Jennings for $8 million dollars. Vikings had wanted a big WR - he remained hanging out on Free Agency, they continued to talk with Rosenhaus and were able to come to an agreement.
Vikings Lost - Greenard starting DE and Nailor WR #3 2027 6th round pick
Vikings Gain - More opportunity for Turner starting DE, Thomas backup Safety, Claiborne RB #3, Jennings WR #3, 2027 3rd round pick, 2027 5th round compensation pick, $4 million remaining on salary cap.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
