Believe me if you want, but I just had a source I trust a lot tell me the #Vikings are “strongly” pursuing Carl Lawson

Both of those guys will cost big $$$.

Maybe we have more restructuring going on.




Bruce Johnson -> RE: Free Agency 2021 (3/15/2021 11:17:15 AM)

#Lions are re-signing Romeo Okwara to a 3 year, $39M contract. Okwara back to Detroit! A solid pass rusher now off the market.

They can back load it which will get them in trouble again.

Yeah. Speilman and Zimmer on a short leash.

Maybe we are going for it.

#Cardinals Patrick Peterson has said he's willing to move to safety. This could be very intriguing to a lot of #NFL teams.

(NFL Rumors on Twitter)

Any takers for our vacant safety position? We certainly would have serious veteran leadership out of the safety positions.




Bruce Johnson -> RE: Free Agency 2021 (3/15/2021 11:24:32 AM)

Text from #Bucs LB Shaq Barrett just now: "I am going back to Tampa."

Pass.

Move Harrison Hand to safety. Take a flyer on Malik Hooker(injury problems). Maybe Tartt(SF). Draft one with one of our four 4th rounders.

Joe Thuney and Kirk Cousins share an agent.

Lawson probably looking for at least 13M per year.




Bruce Johnson -> RE: Free Agency 2021 (3/15/2021 11:26:56 AM)

10 minutes to go.. Vikings looking at Defensive Tackles Shelby Harris, Kawann Short.. CB William Jackson Shaquill Griffin.. and do I dare say it? OG Joe Thuney

(Rick Sosa on Twitter)




Bill Jandro -> RE: Free Agency 2021 (3/15/2021 11:30:06 AM)

In no way shape or form can we afford Joe Thuney

Salary cap will probably jump 15-18M next year so you can factor that in on contracts.

But so can all these other teams that have big cap room.

Yes they can....times the 12 million by 3. I wouldn't be surprised to see Stephen cut (Another 3.5 million). You spread the signing bonus over years of contract. So Thuney 10 million signing bonus over 5 years..you could make it easily under 4-5 million cap hit.

Signing bonus 10
1 3
2 4
3 4
4 4
5 5

Cap number about 5 million




Mark Anderson -> RE: Free Agency 2021 (3/15/2021 11:36:46 AM)

Elflein: 3yrs. 13.5M

Carolina

Hearing the Vikings have offers in to Griffin and Lawson. Not surprisingly, Thuney is getting a ton of calls.

Guys are going to be looking for big signing bonuses. Thuney will be looking at minimum 30M on a signing bonus.




Bruce Johnson -> RE: Free Agency 2021 (3/15/2021 11:44:46 AM)

I had to look up who Lawson was. I found this.

Highlights are pretty nice. Patterson could turn him into a monster.

My understanding is the #Jets, #Vikings, #Browns have all shown interest in adding #Saints DE Trey Hendrickson, per source. That list is in no particular order.
