Yannick will have to sign his tender. I wonder if the rework of the tender (Yannick taking a paycut) will include something to the effect of the Vikings not being able to tag him again next year.

This will also allow Ifeadi to rush more from the inside - which could make the whole line better. Jayln Holmes is probably gone.

What we do next for the cap is probably the most interesting part. Do we do restructures and kick the can down the road into a year where the cap might go down? And risk losing Cook, Harris, Oneil, etc? Or do we offset with a Reiff trade/cut and start the season at LT with Hill and move Ezra back to LT and hope he's ready at some point?

Spielman and Zimmer must think we are closer than a lot of us fans think we are.

If I understand things correctly he is already signed and not to the tender. More like our remaining 12.9 million cap space. It was part of the deal to facilitate the trade.

Here's a bit I found on RotoWorld.

YANNICK NGAKOUE
DL, MINNESOTA VIKINGS

Vikings acquired DE Yannick Ngakoue from the Jaguars for a second-round pick and a conditional 2022 fifth-round pick.
The conditional pick can become a fourth-rounder if Ngakoue makes the Pro Bowl. Ngakoue has yet to sign his $17.8 million franchise tender, but he's expected to restructure his deal to help create cap space. The Vikings are getting a star in Ngakoue, who has at least eight sacks in every season. He'll bookend Danielle Hunter to form one of the better pass rushing tandems in the league.

Jaguars agreed to trade franchise DE Yannick Ngakoue to Minnesota for a second- and conditional fifth-round pick that could go as high a third-round pick, league sources tell ESPN. Ngakoue still has to sign his tender, but trade is in place and Ngakoue is expected to be a Viking.

Per usual - your understanding could use some work.

It is correct that he hasn't signed the tender, but there is no requirement of him signing the Tender which is over 17 million. He has agreed to sign for less than the tender. If he hadn't agreed to sign for less than the tender no deal would have been made.

This isn't a RFA tender. Wilson signed a RFA and got 3M or so and it had a a draft pick assigned (2nd rounder for example).

This was a franchise tag. Like the one Harris signed. And it's being restructured from 17M to 13M and still has to be signed.

Per usual - your understanding could use some work.

It is correct that he hasn't signed the tender, but there is no requirement of him signing the Tender which is over 17 million. He has agreed to sign for less than the tender. If he hadn't agreed to sign for less than the tender no deal would have been made.

Whatever. The Tender for a RFA is a specific amount set forth in the CBA. He will be signing a contract with the Vikings, but it isn't the RFA tender.

This isn't a RFA tender. Wilson signed a RFA and got 3M or so and it had a a draft pick assigned (2nd rounder for example).

This was a franchise tag. Like the one Harris signed. And it's being restructured from 17M to 13M and still has to be signed.

OMG, KGBomb gets absolutely BEAT DOWN.

Hearkens images of Ali destroying an opponent and telling the ref to stop the fight.
