I love that he's been complaining that he has no weapons in GB, but then he requests the Jets to sign the exact same WRs he had in Green Bay along with Mercedes f***ing Lewis.

They are “his guys” so to speak. Lazard is good. But Cobb and Lewis? Meh. OBJ is good, but not a former Packer.

I’m more and more excited for Love-Watson with every hour that passes.

Here’s to hoping the Jets give up something like 1st+conditional 2nd in 2024 as a trade return.

I'm most excited for the Rogers-Sterger duo.

Vikings re-sign RB Alexander Mattison

This might mean something. . .or it might not

www.dailynorseman.com

The team has announced that they have re-signed running back Alexander Mattison to a two-year deal that could be worth as much as $8 million if certain benchmarks are hit. The deal contains $6.35 million in guarantees.

Yeah, I agree. While Smith might not be exactly what he once was, he's still a good player IMHO.

If they can trade Cook, they better do it. He's a good, to great, RB but at that price tag it really just hinders the team. And it's not like Mattison was that much worse than him. Again, IMHO

Completely agree, he's better suited to Flores' defense as well... him and Cine could become interchangeable on the field at the same time. They both are Flores type safeties.

Report: Vikings RB Dalvin Cook drawing trade interest from two teams

Cook has apparently piqued the interest of a couple of running back-needy teams.

Dalvin Cook has apparently piqued the interest of a couple of running back-needy teams.

Darren Wolfson of KSTP in Minnesota reported this week that the Atlanta Falcons and Miami Dolphins are said to have inquired about the four-time Pro Bowler Cook.

If I was in your same shoes? I'd still be happy if they were the team that offered the best return. Vikings are still more important than fantasy football... even though fantasy football is pretty damn important! :laugh:

Yeah, but the Vikings aren’t winning the Bowl next year so I’d rather win fantasy football haha

Super Bowl contenders aren't always expected contenders entering the season. Surprise contenders frequent.

The return could also be very important to becoming a contender

Let's be real, it's Minnesota sports (and subsequently the Vikings).

Wild11MN · Mar 17, 2023

Miami re-signed both of their RBs from last year, so that makes no sense for a landing spot for Cook anymore. My guess is they'll keep him.

Vikings sign Dean Lowry

Defensive lineman Dean Lowry is switching sides in the Packers-Vikings rivalry.

profootballtalk.nbcsports.com

Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that it is a two-year, $8.5 million for Lowry.

no but he may be a solid back up that played one game and has versatility??

He started the last 4 games of the season

Edit: sorry, 4 of the last 5, last game he did not start because he was injured significantly in the 2nd to last game and thus missed the last game and the playoffs.

OL woes mounting as Vikings' Brian O'Neill, Austin Schlottmann have 'significant' injuries - Sports Illustrated Minnesota Vikings News, Analysis and More

The Vikings are suddenly quite depleted on the offensive line.

Schlottmann fractured his left fibula, which will presumably end his season.

The sport books have to be loving the round of 64 for the men's NCAA. There can't be an unbusted bracket left after a 1 seed and a 2 seed both lost their first game.
