Probably has more to do with not occupying a roster space with Booth.

Trade! The #Cowboys are sending CB Nahshon Wright to the #Vikings for CB Andrew Booth, sources tell me, @MikeGarafolo and @RapSheet pending physicals.

Does he have any guaranteed money?
Edit: From a Salary Cap perspective, trading Booth, Jr. saves the Vikings $3.3m in cap space (his base salaries for '24 & '25) and we only "eat" $1.6m in dead cap (pro-rated portion of his signing bonus), so the net savings are $1.7m. We'll have to take-on Wright's $1.0m base salary for this season (if he sticks on the 53-man roster, that is) so the total net cap savings of the trade is $0.7m.

Will Booth pass a physical?

Be glad to move on from him.

Patriots just released Juju Smith-Schuster. Could be the Adam Thielen kind of 3rd WR we were wanting.



Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/9/2024 7:31:54 PM)

I heard there was an UDFA WR showcasing some surprise talent.



Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/9/2024 7:34:36 PM)

Jones.

Plus Nailer striding along as the #3.

I think we’re in set as long as LGP quits ****ing up.



Dave Odle -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/9/2024 7:52:52 PM)

That's cool. Good to hear about WR depth.



marty -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/10/2024 9:20:07 AM)

Probably an upgrade:

Guessing he wanted out. Schuster has plenty of "Diva" dna. He easily would have been their #1 wr. NE no longer a destination franchise.

He had a really bad year. 11 Games: 29 Rec, 260 Yards, 1 TD. They're basically saving a little money this year and getting out of next year's salary.

He's still just 27 and has been a solid player. If he wants to come here cheap to be the 3rd WR (and Addison insurance), I'm cool with it.



Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/10/2024 11:20:33 AM)

I think Jets sets a major record this year.

Yards, TD’s, or receptions.

Picking TD’s.



Jeff Jesser -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/10/2024 12:36:06 PM)

NFL network is reporting that Gilmore will visit on Monday. Vet CB for the room. Its been speculated for a while now so no huge surprise.

Now we're talking. The secondary could use some veteran leadership in addition to Harrison Smith.

I just did a trial.subscription to watch this preseason game today. Damn, I'm ready for football!



Dave Odle -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/10/2024 2:53:58 PM)

Wright is one of the tallest CB's in the league at 6' 4"



Daniel Lee Young -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/10/2024 3:10:48 PM)

Made a pre- season thread.



Daniel Lee Young -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/10/2024 3:12:07 PM)

It’s in game day



Jeff Jesser -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/10/2024 6:17:00 PM)

Got his first preseason win but I still have question marks with KOC at times. We had 3 TO's with about 50 seconds to go in the first half. WTH isn't he going to a hurry up 2 minute drill with JJM? What a perfect time for the kid to learn. [&o][&o]



Dave Odle -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/10/2024 7:08:03 PM)

I agree. O' Connell seems to have some pretty fundamental staples get lost in clock management. We have to remember that coaches must grow just like players. Sometimes I think we take that for granted and as a given that a HC would simply see it in the moment and execute accordingly.

The QB's look pretty decent overall. Hope we sign Gilmore Monday.



Jeff Jesser -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/10/2024 7:28:27 PM)

Honestly, this scare the crap out of me. It's his 3rd year and this has been a knock on him from day 1. He's a super sharp guy so it's making me think he just doesn't care that much about it (clock management). I find that hard to believe but it just doesn't make sense, in this case, not to practice it. It was the perfect situation to test a young QB.

It was as smart for a young team/guy as it was for Pierce to call 3 straight TO's when Hall could barely complete a screen at the end of the game [:-]



Dave Odle -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/10/2024 7:54:53 PM)

We're a really young team. As many jokes as I make about Cousins and how much he drives me crazy, he did bring a lot to the table. It's just that he can only get you so far. This is the roll of the dice we are making to sacrifice a solid double w/ Cousins for a triple/home run or maybe a bust. I highly doubt JJ will be a bust, but it would be nice to watch essentially a rookie-like HC in many ways grow w/ the QBOTF. We didn't see Jefferson, Aaron Jones, or a lot of the starting O-line much. I would like to see McCarthy get the start if he results in a tie w/ Darnold.



Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/10/2024 7:56:21 PM)

Do any of the reporters point out the clock issues during pressers?



marty -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/10/2024 10:19:16 PM)

I know it's early, but I feel that McCarthy will be the real deal, and Caleb Williams will also be really good.

It's possible that in 2025, 3 of the top 5 QBs in the NFL will be in the NFC North.
