KK Short - Vernon Butler - Star Lotulelei - Kony Ealy

What many don't understand is the the two lines are the engines that help the Cams, Keeks, Stewarts operate.  You have to have them strong.  We also seem stacked at the moment, but several guys might be gone in a year, so you better keep feeding the beast

I think most get that.  

But our lines don't look very strong at OT or DE at the moment. 

But yeah, have great DT depth and that has advantages.  Still doesn't mean DE isn't an issue

Anyone else looking forward to this inevitable package from time to time that will strike fear in the hearts of all that they face? 

And I'm hoping in 4th & 1 and goal line situations to see Short - Star - Solai - Butler

We will see what happens today as to whether our guys are fully faithful in Delaire and such.  Hoping Dodd/Ogbah drops and we snag one, then we light the cigar

To be honest with you i really don't like the idea of Short spending a lot of time at DE when he is so good as a 1 gap.

But from a money term (which I'm sure Gman may be thinking about) imagine if you can sign Short at DT money long term and he pans out at DE? That would be incredible value given the current DE market.

Yeah, fug 17-2 with our current roster. fug that noise

 

and fug having young talent at those positions and fug having 5 more picks in this draft, and fug having 32m in cap space

    • Per Bill Barnwell  Vikings bring back a familiar face Vikings get: WR Adam Thielen Panthers get: 2026 sixth-round pick, 2027 seventh-round pick A reunion between Thielen and his former team seems too easy. The Vikings are struggling with injuries at wide receiver and a potential Jordan Addison suspension. The Panthers want to see what they have with their younger wideouts, and Hunter Renfrow's emergence in camp as a potential fourth or fifth option could squeeze a roster spot for Thielen, who doesn't play special teams. The problem is Thielen's $6.25 million base salary. The Vikings obviously would prefer the Panthers cut the 34-year-old and pick him up for free, but Carolina already paid Thielen a $1.5 million roster bonus earlier in the offseason, suggesting it expected to have him. His salary isn't yet guaranteed, but it will become so if he's on the roster in Week 1, leaving the Panthers until then to make a decision. If he does get released, he isn't likely to get anything close to $6.25 million from another team, so he also is facing some uncertainty. All sides involved probably would need to give a bit to make a mutually advantageous deal work. The Panthers would eat $1.5 million of Thielen's contract, getting two of the three picks the Vikings got from the Jets in the Harrison Phillips trade in return. Thielen would take a $1 million pay cut in return for having the remaining $3.8 million guaranteed. The Vikings cleared out almost exactly that much when they made the Phillips trade, allowing them to absorb what's left of Thielen's contract as part of the deal. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46053274/nfl-preseason-trades-2025-team-offers-players-draft-picks-contracts
    • From JoeBucsFan. Teams don't usually waste 2nd round picks like that. Kind of sounds like they think he just doesn't belong in the NFL.
