Packers have little to gain by trading Rodgers now.

Let him rot for a year and then trade him, still get multiple 1st rounds picks.

Not convinced Rodgers will hold out. Reports are he will have to write a check to Green Bay for $22 million.

Let's remember Rodgers got $22 million minus taxes and possible agent fee's so Rodgers got maybe $16 million and he will have pay back $22 million,...OUCH!!!!



I could see him broadcasting or doing a Jeopardy. How much has he made in his career? Dude is still not talking to his family.

His value goes down a year from now. 1 year older at what age 40. Plus not having played for a year? And any draft picks you get a year from now will be for the 2023 draft.

I think he sits out or he gets traded. Or a new contract.

Actually I think the term is mandatory mini camp(not OTA's). Our first one starts June 15th.

He can make up that $6 million difference by doing a couple extra State Farm commercials.

I still think he ends up in Denver...they didn't draft a QB when they could of grabbed Fields.




Tom Sykes -> RE: General Vikes Talk (6/8/2021 2:25:20 PM)

I see we are now up to the roster limit of 90 CBs.

Good to go.

Are you suggesting they knew something pre-draft or simply ignored QB and now would make a good landing spot?

I’d love to see him wind up in Denver.

Tom I almost made the same reply. If Denver did not take Fields despite believing in him as a franchise QB the would have had to have a deal in place for him already.

I don't see any other reason. You need a QB and you draft a CB at 9. Elway has to be smart enough to know that Teddy and Drew aren't enough.

There has been a ton of talk that Rogers wants to be closer to the West Coast to tape episodes.

New GM George Paton ran this recent draft. Elway stepped down.

You only draft a QB at pick 9 if you think he is worthy of the #9 pick in the draft. My best guess is that Denver didn't see a QB in their opinion worthy of that pick.

And not making draft decisions according to your article...

As the Broncos' playoff drought has grown to five seasons after this year's 5-11 finish, Elway said Monday that he will remain in place as team president, but the Broncos will hire a general manager "to make all football decisions, working in partnership with [coach] Vic [Fangio].''


The new GM will control the draft, free agency and the roster, according to Elway.

The O is for organized.

By golly, you're right. Organized Team Activity. Mea culpa.


You were thinking of OOTAs.

Correct that is what Elway says in the article...not sure it is believeable that he isn't involved in decisions...we will see.

So all the Kirk Cousins haters that said Diggs is going to a better place now...

Look at the rookie's stats that came in late due to COVID & Theilen and get back to me. What JJ did his rookie year has to be a certain % on the QB; Kirk....sorry haters.

Diggs had a phenomenal season in Buffalo. Jefferson had a phenomenal season in Minnesota. I think both teams are quite happy with the results of the trade.

Totally dodged the Kellen Mond question. Didn't answer it at all.




Ricky J -> RE: General Vikes Talk (6/10/2021 9:51:23 AM)

Cousins stood out on Wednesday with a deep strike to Thielen and a successful two-minute drill that put the Vikings in field goal range after a Cousins connection with Justin Jefferson.

There's hope, Brad! Hang in there ...

Danielle Hunter reportedly won’t attend Vikings mandatory minicamp

by Adam Patrick

As he continues to try and get a new deal from the Minnesota Vikings, Danielle Hunter is not expected to attend the team’s mandatory minicamp next week, according to a recent report.

Minnesota Vikings fans are really enjoying all of the drama going on with the Green Bay Packers and their top quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, right now.

Rodgers has decided not to attend the Packers‘ mandatory minicamp, and there doesn’t seem to be any indication of whether he will ever play for Green Bay again or not.

Unfortunately, as Vikings fans are laughing at the expense of Packers fans, their team has its own situation with defensive end Danielle Hunter not attending their OTA practices with the rest of the guys on the roster. Now, a recent report indicates that Hunter is expected to follow a similar path to Rodgers next week.

While it’s been disappointing that Hunter has not been in attendance for any of Minnesota’s OTA practices during the last few weeks, these sessions have been voluntary.

The true test of Hunter’s seriousness about getting a new contract from the Vikings has always been believed to be his decision to attend the team’s mandatory minicamp or not next week.

Well, according to KSTP’s Darren Wolfson on Tuesday, the 26-year-old defensive end is not expected to participate in Minnesota’s mandatory minicamp when it begins next Tuesday, June 15.

This would be a pretty significant decision for Hunter to make, especially since it could result in him being fined almost $100,000. He already gave up the possibility to earn a $100,000 workout bonus by not attending the Vikings OTA practices this year. So maybe he’s not worried about losing another $100,000.

If Hunter does decide to skip Minnesota’s mandatory minicamp next week and he still doesn’t get a new contract from the team, what might happen next? With the fines increasing to $50,000 per missed practice once training camp begins, it’s possible that the young pass rusher could try to force a trade before Vikings training camp gets underway at the end of July.

Minnesota figuring out what they want to do with Hunter sooner than later would be ideal. But it doesn’t sound like this problem is going to be fixed anytime in the near future.

So....Kyle Long still a great signing:

#Chiefs guard Kyle Long suffered a leg injury that could keep him out of training camp, sources tell me and @RapSheet. After initial concern it could be a serious injury, Long underwent tests and the hope now is he could be back right before the start of the regular season.

They better hand him a huge contract, and quick. Remove him from the lineup and we'll be luck to win nine games. Everything Zimmer's defense is supposed to do stops doing it as soon as we have no pass rush.
