Only expect 4 ilb to make the team. 6 OLB/edge. Probably only carry 3 te's. They probably carry an extra body on the dline and oline as well. Looks good though.

It's pretty much impossible for me to imagine Bryce as a big getting in your face guy or being a rah rah cheerleader type. That's just not who he is and I don't really care. Just play well. Everything else will take care of itself if he just plays well.

He's on the last year of the deal and it would be prorated based on when he's traded during the season. It's not far fetched IMO. A trade around the deadline would put the other team on the hook for about 50% of the cash due. Now what is far fetched is getting more than say a 5th round pick for that.

That’s concerning the worst thing you can do is think about it that’s how you get the yips

oh, as far the why? Because now isn't then. They had ZERO interest in AT being part of there plan going forward so they let him walkaway. Adding AT now is just about being a one season rental. They have space this year. Vikings won 14 games last year. They are team that expects to win. They are now limping into this season at the WR spot. One starter is suspended. Jettas looking hampered coming in. Could make sense for their 2025. Moving him actually could help both teams with their 2025 goals and he is irrelevant to both after this year. Vikings get a body. We get to put our young bodies in the spot AT hogs up.

Absolutely.

I mean, BY has an entire collegiate career and 2 NFL seasons showing what he is on the field and sidelines. I mean, Cam was the same dude at Auburn he was in the pros. Bryce Young is the dude we saw at Bama for the most part (and that's when things were flying high for him).

well, my thoughts on AT remain the same. He is occupies too much oxygen. Too many reps that will serve us no real purpose as he is gone after this year. We need to be developing Tmac, XL, Coker, Saunders, etc. So, letting AT go is more about developing the young guys. Also clearing a spot for another young guy to be added. They never should of pulled him back from retirement w/ a thank you paycheck IMO to begin with. The cons of AT outweight the pros for me. I want to develop our young guys.

I honestly dont get the hype about horn jr

I mean, you aren't getting much for an old WR who likely is done in the NFL after the next 17 are over. but, for those not wanting to lose a Jimmy Horn type due to the bodies in front of him....it would get him a spot. I mean, the O should be running through Tmac, XL, Coker, Sanders. AT IMO stunts development as he occupies often ideal spots for youngsters to get the ball working the area of the field he does

With very little insght or analysis these would be the areas I would target. Obviously you look everywhere and I am not guaranteeing or wanting these guys cut immediately but this is a problem area IMO. ILB: Krys Barnes, Jon Rattigen, Claudin Cherelus S: Nick Scott CB: Shemar Bartholomew

This is absurd. Why would they trade for him at a $2 mil higher price tag than his last season in MIN? I think people really need to avail themselves of the notion(as I stated all of last season) that AT is a tradeable asset. He is a 35 year old WR with a $6.25 mil base salary price.

depends on the return I guess. Did Person mention what that might be?

I am replying based on Huddle input, if you read the full message. We can put a poll up for expected production/results. Might be interesting to check back on towards the end of the season.

I still think XL offers the biggest overall play potential on the O. Bryce and Canales need to find a way to give him some YAC opportunity that isn't at the LOS.

XL is a fantastic talent. His drops last year, while frustrating, is not his norm. I expect him to have a breakout year.

as Joe Person pointed out this am, there is a perfect opportunity to try to trade Adam Theilen (who has no future here) back to the Vikings. Really lean into Hunter tutoring Jimmy Horn and have Horn ready by midseason for slot reps w/ him. I mean it's not like you want Hunter out there run blocking either so both really a pass heavy look WRs

That certainly wouldn't surprise me at all.

that wasn't directed at you. Just the general group thought on Tmac and what is expected. I think if you put up a huddle poll 85+ % would say he is a 1k WR this year and likely the favorite for OROY.

Move on from him already. Please.

Bryce should not try to be some loudmouth rah rah guy if that isn’t truly him. The other guys will see through that

I don't think the expectations on TMac are as high as you think. TBH, we saw higher expectations for XL in year 1 than TMac, based on the Huddle input, anyway. A lot of both of their production is going to be tied to Bryce anyway. I suspect that if Bryce doesn't take a big leap, 80% of the ire is going to be directed at him rather than any specific WR.

Yep. We have no idea what Bryce Young is like on the field or in meeting rooms. None. We know how he is in interviews. That's it. We're starting to hear about his true personality coming out in practices, jawing with Jaycee and Mike Jack. No way he could be doing all of that while he was stinking up the field the way he was rookie season. You just look stupid and people will call you out on that ish. Keep playing like he did at the end of last season, and we'll see the real Bryce come out. Convert back to the first 2 games, and we'll see him slink back into his shell.

All the more reason for athletes to get off social media. Anyone famous that is checking comments or reading DM's on social media is just voluntarily wading into an overflowing sewer.
