Blake Brandel, starting center for your Minnesota Vikings
Cap hit for 2026: $4.46 million. 6'6+", 320 lbs. Everyone ok with Blake? Free agent after this season, might be playing for a new contract.
Weak link on the line or dude ready to be the center for the next 3-4 years?

he'll be allowed to train in a way he never has.
Encouraging. I hope Brandel rocks it. He'd be the biggest center in the NFL at that height and new weight.
I’m wondering if we are going to move towards more man, gap, duo blocking? That’s a lot of beef in the middle.

What a pleasant surprise it would be for Brandel to work out in 2026 and sign a 3 to 4 year manageable contract at center.
