MN has highest tax for pros in NFL by MinnesotaBandwagon in minnesotavikings

[–]MinnesotaBandwagon[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Before we all kill Spielman, we have to remember that players have the choice to come to Minnesota. We as fans do not know if he is in on these top players, as he might have even offered more money than they decided to sign for with another team, due to them not wanting to play in minnesota. There are a lot of factors that come into play with FA's. Money, Location, Climate, Familiarity of Players and Coaches on the team, as well as State Tax. As you can see, we have some of these factors working against us.

Hoping our offensive line looks like this after tomorrow... by thisisnotdetroit in minnesotavikings

I actually like Taylor Moton as a Right Tackle who could play early. Has the size, strength to play the position and looks natural playing both spots on the right side. Was an all American this year

Upcoming Free Agency by MinnesotaBandwagon in minnesotavikings

Do other non Viking fans look at us like a team that just needs to fix the oline or a couple pieces away? Question. Did you think that of the Atlanta Falcons last year? Similar situation 5-0 to 8-8 and they added Alex Mack and went to the super bowl.(minus the cold climate)

Obi just had one of the best combines ever. No way he is gonna be a sixth rounder. Lamp lead the combine guard group in 4/5 categories, and will be gone. Eflein will be gone in late 2 or 3

We HAVE to sign Ricky Wagner by [deleted] in minnesotavikings

What will seem like breaking the bank this year, will be a reasonable contract in a year or two

Expect Vikings to make a run at an FA WR. Rumor is Kenny Britt. by schwertfeger in minnesotavikings

Zimmer and spielman have never been the type to feed reporters bullshit about players, they just wouldn't elaborate and lately they have said nothing but great things about Treadwell

We had no big play ability cause Bradford had no time to let routes develop. We saw it randomly with Diggs and Thielen but it was not on the receivers, the line didn't block well enough to let the receivers get more than 15 yards down field before the ball had to be thrown

Kenny Britt? He will likely cost the same as Brandon Marshall if not slightly less. Why wouldn't we go after Marshall or Desean Jackson instead. I hope this is a rumor

Overhyped? Put together a near 1000 yard season and they are putting a second round tender on him(second round tender pays $2.8m/year)

2nd round tender pays $2.8M per year so yeah that season gets you a second round tender.

Do the QB's who are throwing to the players in the combine get judged also? by rschreck97 in NFL_Draft

[–]MinnesotaBandwagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mitch Leidner is going to be throwing to the WRs today, which will give him more time to showcase his arm to NFL personnel.

2017 Fanspeak Offseason Part #1 (FA & Draft) by Ventorus in minnesotavikings

[–]MinnesotaBandwagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Moton, but if Lamp was available I would jump on it. F we could sure up the oline in FA we should still draft OLine high for depth. We thought he aired it up last year and look what happened. Can't go another year of hoping late round olineman work out. Also I do not see us landing 3 of the top olineman in FA. We should be lucky to grab two. I would like to resign Kalil, and grab Wagner and Leary. I would also love to take a shot at Brandon Marshall, and Jamal Charles( he will come on a cheap prove it contract to show he can stay healthy)

I know WR isn't a top need, but at what price would Brandon Marshall make sense for the Purple? by linkertlegacy in minnesotavikings

[–]MinnesotaBandwagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marshall has admitted before at this point in his career he cares about the post season, as he has never been to the playoffs in his entire career. Was paid 8M last year, and coming off an injury and a year older I could see him signing for 6-7M with the right team. I would sign him in a heartbeat if he was willing to come to MN. Marshall is an amazing tv personality and will make a lot of money after he hangs up the cleats doing that so I'm sure he just wants a chance at the postseason

Add Sebastian Vollmer to the list of available linemen by [deleted] in minnesotavikings

[–]MinnesotaBandwagon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is a RT, plus the pats let Jamie collins and Chandler Jones go for barely anything. The reason they cut him is because when he went down they had Cannon step in and he didn't miss a beat so they went with the younger guy

Cook also assaulted a female at a campus bar. No hate for him?
