4 te's? Okay, I guess.

Who needs a good young QB prospect when we can have 3 plodders?


Exactly.

I think he's in. If he's cut, he will be placed on the ps. We can't be that blind, right?

Destroy his trade value by disparaging him in the media and now by saying he'll be cut if not traded...brilliant!

I was hoping against hope Zimmer would announce that Sloter passed his trial by fire and clearly earned the #2 job and Mannion would be offered a coaching position, trade or release. Why can't we have nice things?

Unless Sloter was coming to meetings/practices drunk, hung over or sleeping, this makes zero sense. Very Childress and "programmatic non-fit" bullshit.



Unless we trade Sloter and get something of value for him, I question (understatement) cutting Sloter. But to do it a 1.5 weeks after Zimmer airs dirty laundry on the guy?

I've never made the mistake of thinking Zimmer was in any way smart. Reading all the reports online it seems Sloter is as good as gone. Hopefully it's all wrong.

The #Vikings informed kicker/punter Kaare Vedvik they’re waiving him, per source. Vedvik – acquired three weeks ago for a fifth-round pick – could be back on the practice squad. But they’ll roll with Dan Bailey as kicker and Matt Wile as punter.

anyone surprised ?

No, after the last two live action games. He choked a few fg's and outkicked his coverage on some punts.

Source tells me TE Brandon “the Marian Flash” Dillon has been informed that he has made the Vikings 53 man roster. So Minnesota will go with 4 TEs between Rudolph, Smith, Conklin and Dillon.

I've largely been neutral on what appeared to be Zimmer staying with "his guys" vs getting the best players on the field.

It's Superbowl or Bust for me now with Zimmer/Rick.

Yes. I think Wile is the better punter (today) but I could have lived with Vedvik punting with added caveat of being the better holder and kicking off.

Fiftk rd pick was a pretty big chunk of change wasted if Vedvik is poached.

If we are able to keep Kirk upright and open holes for Cook, then I will feel great about the direction of the team. Right now, though, I'm scratching my head.

Sunk cost. Bailey and Wile are better. Right decision.

Herbie Teope@HerbieTeope
Saints CB Marcus Sherels was placed on injured reserve, according to a source familiar with the situation.

Mike McCartney@MikeMcCartney7
Friendly reminder. There is no such thing as a Final roster. Unfortunately, some players will believe they’ve “made” the team today and then get released in the coming days. Rosters are fluid.
