ORIGINAL: ratoppenheimer . . Tom Pelissero@TomPelissero It's a one-year, $1 million deal of which $675,000 is guaranteed, including a $175K signing bonus. Max $1.5M with incentive. Solid deal for Tajae Sharpe in a tough WR marketplace and low-risk addition for the #Vikings. https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1242835418963468296 It could be worse, but I hate all the guaranteed money. what if he is beaten out by our two or possibly 3 WR draft picks along with Thielen, Bisi and whoever. We would then be paying him for nothing. "all" the guaranteed money? Except for Thielen he is vastly more experienced than our little collection of misfits. That just tells you somebody else offered him something ... or we've had a crush on him since he abused us three years ago. The non-gaurantee worthy guys are available 24 hours, 12 months out of the year. I don't think much of Sharpe. I could easily see three WR draft picks beating him out along with Thielen, Bisi and one of our current stable of sucky WRs. How many WRs are we likely to carry? Hopefully we still draft at least 2 WRs that would be better than Sharpe. Is he better than Mitchell? 675k isn't much guaranteed. I like the signing - had a solid rookie season. Injury then didn't do much, but I like having someone with experience ie Jarius Wright. Titans make us look like a pass happy offense. EDIT: Someone already beat me to the Mitchell comment. I still like Mitchell better. I know what I saw on tape and unless he has lost those skills he is the second best WR on the team. hollins and davis made it off the practice squad a few times last year - i don't believe mitchell ever did...why do you think mitchell is the best of the group?.... i think that hollins makes a breakout move this season.... davis had great success in punt returning in college - i wonder why we haven't used him in this capacity.... I'm not going to believe Mitchell isn't the best of our scrub WRs until he is given a chance and shows he doesn't have what it takes. Maybe the Diggs trade will open up the possibility, but probably not. I think he got in the dog house and was never given a fair opportunity. I could certainly be wrong. i had hopes for micthell, too...he's got a new wr's coach now, so maybe he'll get a fresh look....
