***2025 Minnesota Vikings***

Losing him would have hurt, but damn, $22M is steep.

Salary cap will keep going up. Looks steep now but I’m fine with it

We really needed to sign him. We needed a lead corner and he’s definitely that.

I’m hoping we can sign one guard and then draft a DL with our first pick.

 

[Mr Janny]

Fantastic news. He fits their system perfectly. Still in his prime. Corner is a spot that you shouldn't mind paying a premium for.

 

[Marcelason78]

So far, so good. The Vikes have DT and G left on the wish list. Which one can they fill in FA and which position will be their first round pick?

 

[cyfan92]

AAV means nothing if its not guaranteed money

Seems like a lot of money for an older DT, but we really needed a game wrecker in the middle. Pair him with Phillips and maybe get someone early in the draft and we have a pretty salty Dline.

Forgot about Jalen Redmond too. He showed flashes at the end of last year

 

[Mr Janny]

Listening to Purple Daily, it sounds like they can cut Bradbury and make $3.5 million in cap space for this year, as well as restructure O'Neil if they want, to create even more. So a starting guard is still definitely a possibility, today. I would be very pleased with that outcome. Still some places to shore up, but it lets you draft based on best available, rather than need, which is always a good place to be.

Maybe a long shot, but I hope they are at least attempting to trade Bradbury for a mid/late round pick.

Yeah, that would be ideal. I'm not sure what the market is going to be for him. He certainly has value, but I'm guessing a lot of teams will assume that he'll be cut, so they can get him without spending any draft capital. Maybe a 6-7th round pick? Does that sound reasonable?

 

[Mr Janny]

Holy ****! Fantastic news!!!

 

[stuclone]

Kwesi cooking this morning! Love the additions on both lines!

 

[MeowingCows]

There is a whole lot of good looking moves being made by this team.

 

[stuclone]

Maybe pushing for a little too much, but the cherry on top for this FA portion of the offseason would be signing Cooper Kupp when he is released by LAR

 

[Cyfan1965]

Vikes appear to be serious which is nice to see.

 

[cyclones122]

Have to give Kwesi credit. He's nailed free agency so far. They clearly knew the draft couldn't be their main means to re-load and hit free agency hard for all their key needs. OL, DL, CB. Really like all the moves so far. Wonder if KOC tries to lure Kupp to Minnesota to play with JJ and Addison. Give McCarthy all the weapons you can to give him the best chance to succeed.

WHo's out on D line with these signings?

Patrick Jones for sure. Maybe Bullard and/or Tillery as well?
