In addition David Johnson might be the best receiving RB plus they might draft a very good WR with that 2nd Round pick. Do you mean that David Johnson can't stay healthy? He's missed two games in seven years.

Weatherly to Panthers 2yrs. 12M

Pager -> RE: Free Agency 2020 (3/16/2020 6:49:46 PM)
I really hope the Bears trade for Foles or Dalton. Neither scare me at all. I really hope all the FA QBs and draft QBs drive the QB price down. I'd love to see us give a guy like Mariota or Winston a 1 year deal. No big loss on Weatherly. We have the best dline coach in the business and can easily replace his snaps/production. Not worth the price and we'll probably get a comp pick out of it.

jbusse -> RE: Free Agency 2020 (3/16/2020 8:09:23 PM)
From Chris Tomasson: Stephen Weatherly told me he'll miss being with #Vikings: "It's home. I've been there for four years. Everybody has been so nice with all these messages on Instagram... It's such an amazing city and the team was super dope, too. Honestly, I'm just blessed.'' https://twitter.com/christomasson/status/1239702378112331776

I would have preferred to keep Weatherly over Griffen. I mean, it's time to get younger.

I think Griffin is still a little better, but not by much. Its not close. Griffith is much better. The issue is money. And paying an older dude who may start to decline sooner rather than later. You can assume Weatherly will continue to improve and be better but that is all assumption with no guarantee. The better bet seems to be on Odenigbo.

ratoppenheimer -> RE: Free Agency 2020 (3/17/2020 5:58:02 AM)
. . another 3rd would be great - a 4th/5th would be nice, but that might be wishful thinking.... Ian Rapoport@RapSheet The #Vikings surprisingly applied the franchise tag to safety Anthony Harris but acknowledged to teams that Harris could be had for a mid-to-late round draft pick, source said. A potential tag and trade candidate.

Todd M -> RE: Free Agency 2020 (3/17/2020 7:21:50 AM)
With our current draft stock the prudent move would have been to wait for the comp pick. Wasted value.

Mark Anderson -> RE: Free Agency 2020 (3/17/2020 7:36:46 AM)
quote: ORIGINAL: Todd M With our current draft stock the prudent move would have been to wait for the comp pick. Wasted value. Yeah. I would say now either keep him for a year or trade him for a veteran OLineman, DT, WR or CB(starter).

You can use an extra 3rd to get into the mid to late teens if somebody drops.

quote: ORIGINAL: Todd M With our current draft stock the prudent move would have been to wait for the comp pick. Wasted value. We can rescind the tag if we don't get the pick we want (I think?) and that would put us right back in the compensatory pick getting. The compensatory pick will depend on who we sign as free agents as well. We'll lose Harris (maybe) for a big contract, Weatherly got $12 over two years, Rhodes, Waynes, and Linval should get contracts but we don't know who we'll sign. A DT like Reader and a good guard and possibly a mid-tier WR and it's possible our compensatory pick isn't great anyway. Too many variables to say for sure but I think we can always rescind that franchise tag if needed. EDIT - I just remembered we cut Rhodes and Linval so they count for nothing.

I read the report saying he was getting 6 million over 2 years and thought it was 3 million a year hence my thinking that he was a very good value.

Bill Johanesen -> RE: Free Agency 2020 (3/17/2020 10:28:11 AM)
Playing both angles with Harris to bolster arguments.

joejitsu -> RE: Free Agency 2020 (3/17/2020 10:58:18 AM)
Is there anything to the rumor that the patriots are interested in Teddy? I've seen this reported on a few sites.

Rumor is the #Vikings are interested in guard Joe Haeg. My guess is that if they sign him, Riley Reiff will be released. (Warren Ludford on Twitter) Reading this I am speculating that he stays with the Colts. https://coltswire.usatoday.com/2020/03/16/nfl-free-agency-indianapolis-colts-joe-haeg-interest-multiple-teams/
