Hey, I love cashing checks too!

I'd like to have him in camp down in Eagan...That was very un-natural to type btw, after 50 years of Mankato lol

if he is in a good place with his rehab/addiction the best thing for him to do is stay in the environment that supports it.  If he goes to a different place with a different environment and expectations any short term monetary gain could be wiped out for good.  IF staying makes him less near term money but allows him to have a 'long' term career and stay sober he will be far better off in the long run.

This isn't exactly an altruistic business. My guess is he's looking for a new team next year.

He wants to stay in the Cities, as he and Summit are going to roll out a new non alcoholic kombucha

I think the main thing is how he's doing in rehab and practice.  I'm not too concerned with his lack of production as long as he is doing the things that would lead to future production in the case that either Diggs or Thielen goes down.

#Vikings Mike Zimmer on Michael Floyd's limited playing time: "It’s kind of crowded there at receiver.. We’re trying to get Jarius involved a little bit more and trying to make sure Treadwell’s still involved & getting (Floyd) involved. It’s hard to get 5 receivers a lot of reps"

So why do we have six on the roster?  With only 3 TEs?

Keep talent where you can.  Likely better talent at the 6th reciever than that 4th TE would have been.  Keeping weaker players for depth is a recipe for future weak rosters.

True enough, but unless he starts putting up some numbers, will he be in demand anywhere else?

How many TEs do you need on a roster?

We don't run 2 and 3 TE's as much anymore.  3 TE's and a FB should be all you need.
