Which positions are the most likely that the Vikings are not satisfied with what they have and will be exploring other options from players that are waived by other teams? It would have to be backup players, not starters. Tough cuts need to be made and if players are picked up from other teams it makes it even harder to make the necessary cuts, but it seems to me that the Vikings are not happy with the back end of their safeties and linebackers. Trades happen sometimes, especially if a team plans on cutting a veteran and veterans come with a premium these days with the limited off-season. I could see the team trading for a guard. I hope they do, actually.

Conversely, which positions do the Vikings enjoy a luxury of quality depth and may find other teams willing to trade for players that we will have to part with? It may be the same question as which positions will the toughest cuts have to be made? Again, because of the limited off-season, I would think that other teams would be more interested in veterans who are cut. No positions come to my mind right now. We'll see soon enough I suppose. It feels like to me that the surprising cuts will be rookies that we assumed would make the 53 man team.

It feels like to me that the surprising cuts will be rookies that we assumed would make the 53 man team. I'm concerned about several of the 15 rookies being cut. One of my faves James Lynch is rumored to be cut.

Watts played about 10% of the snaps last yr (no PT through first 10 games or so then became part of rotation). Had two sacks, a forced fumble and had the highest pressure rate of any of our tackles last year (I think - there was some pressure rate I was impressed with but don't remember it [:D]). Had a PFF score of 70. As a 6th round rookie. I think he's gonna get PT at both 3T and DT. I see him becoming a playmaker. Gonna go out on a limb and say he and Pierce make a formidable duo next year.

Pager -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/3/2020 10:10:33 PM)
NT and IOL definitely will make or break our season. Sucks Pierce opted out - can't blame FO for that. IOL - [X(] [:o]

Dont think anybody has. Stephen / Watt / etc are a big leap of faith to improve the group over last year which was b as barely okay by our standards (until the 49ers). Johnson and Jefferson are imo are a big leap of faith to attack defenses play in and play out. I really hope my low expectations are annihlated by good play early in the season.

Thielen's health is the big thing. Not as worried about Johnson and Jefferson.....depth if one of the three get hurt is my concern.

According to Tom Pelissero the Washington football team is releasing Adrian Peterson.
