What a wonderful life he experienced.

Kene makes the top 5.

How did that defensive TD against the Bills on the 1/2 yard line not make the list

 

[viking63]

So sad on this news. Have some many great, and sad, memories of the Grant led Vikings teams from my childhood. Fran Tarkenton, Chuck Foremen, the Purple People Eaters (Page, Eller, Marshall, Larsen) and can't forget ISU alum Matt Blair.

RIP coach.

It'll be interesting who they get as I don't think they have anyone on the current roster. We'll see what KAM does.

The narrative since the playoff loss has been that they’d extend him so I’m not putting a lot of stock into that tweet. He’s usually pretty accurate though.

 

[Mr Janny]

Sounds like Minnesota signed Josh Oliver, TE from Baltimore, originally drafted by Jacksonville. Very good blocker. Good compliment to Hockenson.

How are the Vikings $7M over the cap and able to sign free agents?

These aren't official signings. They have to be under the cap by the 15th. These signings will take place after that.

Got it... I'd guess Dalvin plus a HUGE Jordan Hicks re-structure gets you there.

 

[Mr Janny]

Minnesota signing Marcus Davenport from the Saints. He has talent, for sure. Let's see if Flores can get him to play consistently

 

[Mr Janny]

Vikings converting part of Cousins salary to a bonus. Frees up $16 million in cap space for this year, and pushes it to dead money in the two void years he has on his contract. Doesn't affect their ability to part ways after this season.

Also, they're re-signing Bradbury to a pretty modest 3 year deal. Prior to this season, I would not have been happy about that, but prior to getting hurt, he played pretty well this year, so I'm okay with it. And it doesn't sound like it was a very big contract.

Vikings sign Byron Murphy from the Cardinals. He's a strong man-to-man guy. Hopefully will fit in well.

Report: Byron Murphy agrees to two-year deal with Vikings

The Vikings have their replacement for Patrick Peterson.

Really like Kwesi’s moves so far this off-season. 2024 is setting up to be the big spend off-season, but these moves will hopefully keep us competitive for next year as well

 

[Mr Janny]

Mattison and Harrison Smith are coming back.

 

[somecyguy]

Hadn't heard about Harrison Smith. Happy to hear that, I think he still has some good years left in him.

I'm really curious to see what the Mattison signing means for Cook. I can't picture any scenario where they keep both.

I hope they find a team willing to trade for Cook. He's a great back, but doesn't fit into this offense anymore. Mattison is more than capable to provide near the same output at a fraction of the price for Cook.
