Apparently turned down deals worth twice that amount for multi-years. He wanted the right fit and said the Vikings are it.

I'd say SB caliber roster and kicking in a dime were huge draws...hopefully he performs as advertised and we don't have another concern about the kicking game...

So we cut Coley for Bailey.  Any word on who leaves to make room for Johnson?

We'll also have to do something when Kentrell Brothers comes off suspension, too...

I won't lose no sleep over Brothers if they straight out cut him.

I don't know that I would either, but I think he's pretty good on special teams. That unit has looked pretty putrid.

I think he plays on goal line as well.  We don't have much beef at LB beyond him.

Bailey has that Longwell feel about it. We struggled with kickers for years before we signed the cagey veteran who solidified that job for years.

Now, now... You don't worry about that. Once they win one super bowl, they'll want another. And they'll be lining up at Spielman's/Brez's table, clamoring for paycuts to keep this going for another super bowl run...

At least that's how it goes in my ideal world

Or someone (Sherels?) to IR. Otherwise, I would bet on Roc Thomas.
