Favre was better

Better at throwing interceptions.

Favre was better

And there's an argument for Tarkenton

Better at your mom! Hey oh! Got em!

Vikings resigning AJones, 2x20. 13 guaranteed.

That seems like a lot for a guy that has been injury prone the last two seasons. Maybe they are re-signing him to lure Rodgers in

Nah. They would have to bring in Rodgers’ Crystal healers, fortune tellers, etc

The breakdown of it is $10mx2 in cash with cap hits of $6m and $14m. Seems like a reasonable contract to me.

Is this good? I don’t recognize the player (probably a me thing).

Not just a "you thing", I'm also not super familiar with him...but I do know that the Vikings have secondary needs so it's nice to see CB being addressed early. Would like to see another CB or safety added as well.

Was doing a quick search on him. Produced above average this list year but many predict him to be the sleeper of the FA class.

For now, I’m considering this in parallel to the AVG signing.

Sounds like hes a NB option.

Also sounds like some eagles fans wish they would of brought him back for that price which is reassuring to some degree.

Big name after big name coming off the board right now. Vikings striking out big time with all their cap space.

I'm hoping the Vikings can get some help at interior offensive and defensive line, and you can never have too many CBs.

 

[Sad People]

The teams spending money right now are not very good outside of the Packers.

If we sign 2 guards or 1 guard and an IDL along with bringing back Murphy Jr id be fairly happy.

4 years $77M is a pretty hefty price to pay for an interior offensive lineman. Of course, NFL contracts make things wonky with non guaranteed deals. Sounds like he is good at both run blocking and pass blocking. Love that. Hobbs seems like a decent corner. Probably a Jaire replacement. They still haven’t addressed two major issues in the pass rush and wide receiver group. That must be for the draft.

Don’t the vikings need to replace around 50% of their snaps from last year? Need to start signing players with only 3-4 picks in the draft (1st, 5th, 5th and expected 3rd round compensatory pick).
