Getting rid of Kwesi was big but the timing and new GM process was weird.

Teasley has been so quiet, it doesnt even feel like we have any urgency for 2026 at all.

Murray got dwarf-tossed into our lap otherwise, our big move was a #3 wr and an out of shape young DT.

Swapping out roster pieces now is too little too late.

Time to start draft mocking for 2027.

Roster released. No huge surprises but mild ones, IMO

Thorson over Hekker
Claiborne over Scott
Tavierre Thomas being released
Lowdermilk being released

The major surprise to me is Brosmer making the roster. That tells me the Vikings want to unload JJ and can't find a taker. I expect in the coming days they will find someone willing to part with a 6 or 7 for JJ or release him. I think they just want him off the team at this point.


What does the FO see in Brosmer.

Detroit last year was Josh Freeman level bad.
This year in preseason he didn't show much growth.

After watching plenty of "no name" qbs sling the ball around in preseason... I think I'd move on from Brosmer.

This organization is completely dysfunctional


Going back to what Sweens said above, the QB situation is not yet settled.

Short of a former starter like Levis behind Murray Wentz PLUS no JJ / Brosmer … our QB room is feeble.

Might still be feeble but it would at least seem like we are trying.

Right now we are still trying to squeeze some use out of kwesi-era players.

What the flock!

Uphill climb since it's the usual journeyman's club trash out there. For example, Levis couldn't beat out Trubisky (right now they are only carrying two QBs). But that's why the GM gets paid the big bucks.

And 4 TEs? That again?

Expect a blockbuster/splash trade involving Brosmer and Yurosek for a guard.

As an aside, he flipped deadwood Rouse and a 7th for a 6th.

I don’t even like like Levis but in the era of, ‘you can find a Darnold in a vat of hobo stew’ … anything not JJM or Brosmer feels more hopeful than simple KOC vanity.

I guess at this point we’re turning over rocks and collecting seashells for the next training camp surprise star hyperbole. Which has now become the apex of our season.

He spent the 2024 season on the Baltimore practice squad, and after being waived by the Ravens following camp in 2025 and signed to their practice squad, he was signed by the Carolina Panthers to their active roster. He appeared in 11 games for the Panthers in 2025, playing exclusively on special teams.

Keegan was a fifth-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2024 NFL Draft after his college career at the University of Michigan. A First-Team All-Big Ten Selection in 2022 and a Second-Team All-Big Ten Selection in 2023, Keegan was a part of the Eagles team that won the Super Bowl in 2024. (Yes, he only appeared in one game that season, but hey. . .rings is rings.) He was waived by the Eagles in August of 2025 and claimed by their division rivals, the Dallas Cowboys. He appeared in two games for the Cowboys before being placed on injured reserve with a neck injury.

Here are some thoughts I'd bet on given the Vikings roster decisions to get to 53:

- The QB situation is a mess thanks to J.J. No reason to roster 4, but can't trade a hurt QB.
- Edge rusher is a greater need than ever with Batty done for the year.
- Still hope for Harrison Smith returning, and soon.
- Claiborne is going to get a lot of run on special teams.
- Bell was a necessary keep that cost other fringe players a spot.
- Yurosek, behind Bartholomew, is a significant surprise. Especially with Bredeson as the new FB.
- From three CBs to 5 CBs is a big jump for Brian Flores.
- Thorson over Hekker is such a welcomed change in philosophy.

Backup Center (Jurgens) went on IL so it became an emergency:

The Vikings were awarded two waiver claims, both on the offensive line:

C Nick Samac (Carolina)
G Trevor Keegan (Dallas)

Center depth seemed critical after Michael Jurgens went on short-term IR yesterday.

Well we’ve released Brosmer … make room for some fused vertebrae for game. 1.

And Dillon Bell who was a gigantic OTA stud. Shocker.

I worry he is in the Dobbs/Joe Webb mold---more of a runner than passer. Cowboys kept Sam Howell over Joe Milton.

Probably better than JJ.

Did not play much in college. Sr. year was good though. 65%, 2813 yards, 20 TDs, 5 INT.

Not a great rusher. Carried the ball 6x per game that year/ 3.8 YPC, did have 7 TDs.

Started 1 game for NE as a rookie. 22/29, 241 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT. Carried the ball 10 times for 16 yards and another TD.

Barely played last year. 15/24, 183 yards. 1 TD, 2 INT. Carried the ball 5 times for 50 yards.

So just a 53 attempt sample size. 70%, 2 TDs, 2 INT. Has not been sacked yet.

6'5, 235. 4.6 40. Absolute canon for an arm - literally might be the strongest in the NFL. Accuracy is still an issue.

Strengths:
• Possesses an exceptional arm strength that rivals the best, enabling him to make throws many can't.
• Demonstrates quick acceleration through his throwing motion, sending the ball across the field instantaneously.
• Displays commendable pocket awareness, making controlled movements under pressure, showcasing his football IQ.
• With his significant size and stature (6'5", 235 lbs), he exemplifies the prototypical quarterback build.
• Not just a stationary pocket passer; shows the ability to move off his spot and make accurate throws on the run.
• While his processing speed may need tuning, his velocity compensates by closing tight windows effectively.
• His resistance to sloppy tackle attempts due to his size means defenders need to ensure solid hits to impact him.
• Has a lightning-quick release that, combined with his arm strength, makes him a formidable offensive weapon.

Wekanesses:
• Accuracy and touch in his passing game require refinement. Consistently overshoots or underthrows targets, missing open opportunities presented on film.
• While physically gifted, he's on the older side for a rookie at 24; concerns arise regarding synchronizing NFL maturation with physical peak.
• Questions linger about his field-reading capability, especially post-snap. Previous performances suggest lack of anticipation and decision-making speed in high-pressure situations.
• Tends to be predictable under pressure, often defaulting to specific escape maneuvers, which can lead to missed opportunities or jeopardized plays.

Good one. Nobody is. Of course, that was 2002 before the computer. All we had were Tice cave paintings to go on.

Bell had social media crowning his ascension. Therefore, completely accurate.

What game are you playing Teasley?

we should have signed clowney for $5.5mm - big miss imo....

i would have kept scott, he's a downhill runner that'll always get you a couple yards - but we're going shotgun with murray and he's better out of playaction....

bell is teasley doing some forward thinking to next season...having bell and felton opens the draft up to a non wr early in the 2027 draft....

yurosek won't be on the 53 gameday against green bay....

five cb's - again forward thinking by teasley....

thorson had never held the football for a placekicker, ever, before joining the vikings....

Fast RB Claiborne----he is the reason Scott was cut. Scott probably easier to get on PS than Claiborne also????

I saw a list of Edge rushers still available:

- A.J. Epenesa
27 years old
2025: 2.5 sacks, 2 INT, 32 tackles
Provides a decent spark off the edge

- Joey Bosa
30 years old
5x pro bowler, led the league with 5 FF, still has some gas left in the tank

& there are more.

With their offensive playmakers at wide receiver and running back, maybe even tight end, the Cowboys should value a system quarterback who is accurate and protects the ball like Sam Howell over someone like Joe Milton, who is more capable of making plays with his athleticism and superior arm strength. QB priority is getting ball to playmakers on time rather than a QB who is a playmaker.


Howell protects the ball?
We traded him for Wentz.
