After hearing Zimmer and Spielman today, hard to believe they will be trading Diggs at all this year.
I read/heard somewhere that there are a projected 40 or so WRs coming to the draft that maybe pro-ready. So given that large of a pool, it will be unlikely that many teams will burn a 1st round choice on WR this year. They can wait until later rounds.
Given the # of WR in the draft, that doesn't bode well for the Vikings being able to get a 1st Rd draft pick for Diggs IMO...especially if he is perceived to have attitude issues.

You'll run out of money long before you run out of players you want to pay. The Vikings have a LOT of money sitting on that defense...gotta be able to save money elsewhere.https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.c...but-safety-isnt-most-important-position-on-d/
Zimmer doesn't sound too optimistic about bringing Anthony Harris back. What do you guys think? Harris led the league in INTs, but I don't think that's necessarily always the best way to evaluate a safety since a lot of that is just a matter of right place/right time. Big loss, or are you good with another team overpaying for him in FA?

They need a better #3 wide receiver. And, in my opinion both Theilen and Diggs are not true #1 elite receivers. But are close. They need both of them playing at a high level. It always seems one has it going on for large stretches but the other doesn't.What do you think of the offense being run this year?
I like seeing Cook play well, but I thought the passing game was gonna be so much better considering the weapons - Cook out of the backfield, Thielen, Diggs, Rudy etc.
Does anyone else worry that Diggs is going to ask to be traded due to lack of targets?
As it sits right now, Jesus Christ himself could be playing safety next year and I'm not sure it'd matter. The corners are going to be awful.Sure. That's the nature of the salary cap era. Can't keep everyone. I was just curious if Vikings fans agree with Zimmer's assessment that there are higher priorities than safety.
Bisi Johnson is a serviceable 3rd receiver. The problems on offense start and basically end with the OL. Diggs and Thielen are both studs. They disappear quickly though when Cousins can't be kept upright.They need a better #3 wide receiver. And, in my opinion both Theilen and Diggs are not true #1 elite receivers. But are close.

Sounds like they’re more interested in re-signing Rhodes at this point.Not surprised about Rhodes.
Is there any update on the Vikes trying to resign the two DL they've now released?
I would prefer if they use the money from Rhodes and Linval to help re-sign Anthony Harris. Hate to lose a young talented safety. Harrison is getting up there in age so it would be nice to have someone to build around for the future.
Linval is also getting old and they have some decent younger DTs. Also sounds like the draft this year is a deep one for DT so they should be able to grab a good young one there who can eat up the middle like Linval did. And frankly, the Vikes weren't good against the run this year so it might be time for a mix up.
The only FA they should be worried about resigning is Harris. Guy is going to be a complete stud. **** Rhoades, Joseph
And really, with how green the CBs are going to be next year, I would much rather have 2 stud safeties backing them up.
Anthony Harris gets the franchise tag.
