It should give some pause that they would rather cut the guy than keep him as depth in case of injuries, even though cutting him doesn't really save much money, if any (perhaps a few hundred thousand assuming he has offsets in his contract and gets signed by another team). Also our track record of signing linemen coming off injury is pretty terrible. That being said, he's probably no worse than what we have. Just don't expect much.

 

 

 

Vikings are 6th worst in cap space this year.  they need every bit of help they can get.  They are 8th worst right now for next year, and are over the projected cap of 176 million, per overthecap.com.   

Bring him in.

you're the dr., its a thumb ligament injury and he's cleared. how bad can it be? (serious question).  its not like he has bad shoulders and knees

Well I'll admit sports medicine isn't my specialty so my guess is at best marginally more educated than yours might be. But I agree it seems less of a red flag than a knee issue, especially if he's playing guard and doesn't have to snap the ball.

Elflein is a Jet (waiver claim)

Paradis has taught the value of LET THE BUYER BEWARE but this is more of a flyer. So yeah, kick a tire or two
