I'm kinda suprised no one has mentioned trying to pick him up. Looks like the Vikes will take a 6th rounder for him. I think we have more pressing needs right now, but he could potentially be a qb of the future. If we do get him we could drop McCown to make a spot for him. What do you guys think? Would you give up a 6th rounder for him. I would. He was gonna be the starting qb for a super bowl contender this year. Alot of Vikings still want him as the starter. Just sayin, a 6th rounder?

I think the cost has come down significantly though. We may have just given a sixth rounder for a career long backup DT.

But why bring in someone just to do it. I know everyone is in love with the mobile inaccuarate QB, but that dosen't fit into our system. With the offense we run we wouldn't utilize him and he's not that great of a player to make us change our offense.

As for giving up a potential 6th rnder for a career backup that was a need, we had to do something to add another DT and with our position on the waiver wire there is no way we could get anyone of substance without trading.

You do it because it is an upgrade over McCown and Moore. I think he could be a good player here if given the time to learn, he is still young. He was having a very good offseason in Minnesota. I don't think he would be a savior, but an upgrade.

I agree with you about having to get Leonard, or some other DT, but I was justing using that to put this in perspective. Jackson wouldn't be a huge impact on the team this year, unless Delhomme got hurt, but he would be an option in the future without having to give up alot.

Im not in love with Jackson, just wanted to discuss how low of an asking price this is.

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction

      Better than a fragile starter, though
