Third round pick and a player...

For a dude who tends to be elite and a bad locker room guy

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports "multiple teams believe" the Vikings have had trade talks centered around moving Dalvin Cook. 

That's an interesting phrasing of this rumor, as the Vikings wouldn't appear to have an obvious suitor for Cook. Cook's recent shoulder surgery reportedly is complicating the idea to straight-up release him, as some of his salary in 2023 is guaranteed for injury. Fowler also reports the Vikings want to re-sign Alexander Mattison as he is "poised for a starter's role somewhere."

Ive seen some Mack cut talk.....weird how this is playing put. Allen and williams at those numbers is dumb as well. I get herbo needs his weapons and all, just looks a rookie GM moves.

And they will need to pay the QB soon

I know he didnt look like the ramsey of old, but hes not done either...... Funny how the "fug dem picks" changed into "please take my high priced vets, I need picks in return".... Still worth the SB, but rams youth talents are bare.....

phins won this, 100%

Maybe we can get Hopkins for a decent price if that’s all it took for Ramsey?

Adrian Wilson could be a help

That should reset the QB market, me thinks...... feel worse than hernaiy, i need to dig in their GM and hope he never comes to carolina....

Simply put, you have to make a choice. Like the panthers with tri turner and norwell. Chargers need to pick one WR and draft the others replacement, same for the bosa&mack deal....you can not tie up that much cash in one spot...

Bro check on bhops salary........and his recent PED issue, one more fail and its full season I think. High risk and he was never a speed demon.

I would imagine they eat part of his salary and get the dead cap hit like we did for Moore. We don’t need him to be a speed demon, just a big body with a huge catch radius for our rookie which is exactly what he is. If one of our 4ths gets it done, you think it’s worth it?

Those Rams picks would have been gems.  Very possible one of the 1sts would have been a top 5. Also, us taking those 3 picks would have made them a weaker team in the future as they’d have another expensive player added. We had the opportunity to make a real fleecing.

I'm hoping the Boze $$ numbers thrown out are negotiations. They ask for $16M, we offer $11M....settle for $13.5-$14M. Done. 

Our cap opens up next year anyway. Gotta keep the OL intact and Elflien ain't it with a rookie QB and a rebuilding WR/TE corps.
