There are some smidgets of Honey Badger rumors but I think Tretter is questionable as he couldn't practice most of last year and was playing with a bad leg apparently. You could amputate that bad leg of Tretter and he'd still be an upgrade over Bradbury

Almost every guy we have signed is 'very high character'. Maybe these guys actually help the young guys instead of tearing them down like the previous regime.

We need to "run it forward".

I think 'run it back' should be reserved for the Super Bowl winner, it should be more like redo or something like that for the Vikes, unless you want to run 8 wins back.

I like our guard signing. G Chris Reed Dan will too.

geoffrey greitzer -> RE: 2022 Free Agency (4/1/2022 2:34:09 PM)
I am happy with this addition. Finally positions not handed to people. Also new OL coach looks like the real deal

ratoppenheimer -> RE: 2022 Free Agency (4/1/2022 2:39:29 PM)
. . i still think that sheldon richardson is coming back...kyle rudolph?...cousins will request rudolph....

David Levine -> RE: 2022 Free Agency (4/1/2022 3:00:28 PM)
The Vikings have agreed to terms with offensive lineman Chris Reed on a two-year contract. Reed, who starred in college at Minnesota State University, was signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free agent in 2015, and spent his first four NFL seasons in Jacksonville. He split his 2019 season between the Miami Dolphins and the Carolina Panthers, and stayed with Carolina for the 2020 season, starting 14 games. From there, he moved on to the Indianapolis Colts this past season. Reed appeared in 14 games for the Colts this past season, getting six starts. He had experience at both center and guard, which gives the team some flexibility. He’s likely going to be a part of the equation at right guard, which is the one position on the offensive line that new head coach Kevin O’Connell says that there’s a competition at going into the season. The contract for Reed is a two-year deal, the terms of which were not immediately available. This also gives Reed the opportunity to reunite with his college teammate, Adam Thielen. The two were both at Minnesota State from 2010 to 2012.

So they went the quantity route for RG, at least with free agency. Battle it out in camp sure, but there are not many practices with pads anymore so the coaches better be on it. Throw Cleveland's position into the mix as well.

Chris Olson -> RE: 2022 Free Agency (4/1/2022 6:25:07 PM)
I'm envisioning that Reed gave us the proverbial hometown discount... probably grew up a Viking fan, family are Viking fans and always wanted to be a Viking might not be true, but easy enough to believe So maybe we got something more than a camp body...quality depth to borderline starter? he has started a number of games in his career

marty -> RE: 2022 Free Agency (4/1/2022 8:00:30 PM)
Reed could be a huge upgrade at center.

marty -> RE: 2022 Free Agency (4/1/2022 8:02:31 PM)
Richardson back would be awesome, and Rudolph would help in the red zone. I don't trust Irv Smith to stay healthy.

Pass on Rudolph and Richardson. We still have Zach Davidson who could develop into a Gronk lite type guy. We have a lot of young DLinemen that could develop.

Anything to thwart a retread signee from exclaiming we are going to "run it back". Rudolph is limited. It's ok for them to hire 30 one-dimensional coaches, but there is a limit for players. Wonder how high KOC values a versatile TE? Wouldn't be shocked if one is drafted in the 3rd or 4th round.

. . . we might be able to salvage two average guards out of free agency.... 2021 chris reed pff 67.2 38/92 Cleveland pff 68.6 27/82 2020 jesse davis (played guard full time) pff 62.6 FYI: 2021 udoh pff 54.8 64/82 Bradbury pff 60.2 .

What are the bolded numbers? rating against their peers - 'chris reed was 38th of the 82 guards rated'.... on the street, I'm hearing that reed is going to play center, and j.davis right guard.... hopefully, wyatt can beat out jesse at right guard....
