What about that XR for Ramsey trade?

Rhodes just isn't the player he was two years ago...Hughes will eventually/ shortly surpass him...but the Jags won't give up Ramsey...

Depending on what we get out of Hill the last 8 games, along with Mac and Waynes...I'd try to sell high on Rhodes...

Hughes doesn't have that prototypical build XR has, but it sure looks like a very high ceiling for that kid...Glad to eat crow over him and O'Neil

No way the Jags would give up Ramsey for X.  Rhodes just isn't the player he once was.

does anyone really think rhodes will be on the team next year. cut him sign waynes

cut him after the season that is

You really think next offseason he's just cut? No way.

I cant imagine Waynes not testing free agency. He's making like $9 million this year. He'll be able to McMahon Walk his way to whichever $10+ million dollar payout in 2020 he decides is best for him...

I guess I don't see what is so bad about Rhodes's play? Nobody shuts down their guy all game long.

Like zimmer told him,  he needs to play up to that big contract number.  He isnt doing that consistently enough.

winner winner. Rhodes wont be a Viking next season...unless he takes a significant pay cut. Waynes is our best corner and its not even close.

I think between Waynes and Rhodes its pretty hard to say who is better,  Waynes is beaten pretty badly at least once a game and Rhodes coverage is getting a little weaker across the board... neither of them are the lock down island type guys,  but Hughes looks like he could be as long as the match up is right,  I have to think Hughes will look a little more pedestrian against somebody like Julio Jones or another big fast receiver (that Rhodes has actually excelled against)

At what point will the Vikings say "we're done" with Hill?

Well,  we started the season shorthanded and we kept a guy with an 8 game suspension, who sank his own draft stock, that says a lot about his talent/ability...but, next tuck up and he's sent packing...

no reason to cut him until suspension is over. He does not cost a roster spot until then. Good insurance policy. If all is healthy and you are done with his actions, he is gone. personally I think they keep him. 

Hughes is going to turn out to be the best CB on this roster.

from a coverage standpoint I agree,  I just am concerned that he might have trouble defending the high thrown balls in the endzone or other possession type plays if he is matched up on taller bigger body types.  The kids is like fly paper in coverage,  but I do have that reservation on him.
