We get Kalil, the Vikes get Remmers.

Mike Remmers will be suing up in purple and gold in 2017.

According to NFL insider Mike Garafolo, the former Carolina Panthers offensive tackle will sign a deal with the Minnesota Vikings. The expectation is that the deal will be completed today.

Remmers, who operates at right tackle, would help shore up a serious position of need for the Vikings. The move comes on the heals of Minnesota's signing of former Detroit Lions lineman Riley Reiff, who will likely move back to left tackle after spending the 2016 season on the right.

Remmers becomes the second lineman to bounce between the two teams, with former Vikings left tackle Matt Kalil agreeing to terms with the Carolina Panthers, the team for which his brother Ryan Kalil plays.

Not sure if a number is already out or not but I bet they're paying him more than we signed Oher for. Not quite as much as Khalil but a big deal. If it's low then decent signing for them. Funny though, neither fan base wanted to keep their respective OT. Wish the Remjob luck in cold ass MN.

If the Vikings start him, we get the better deal. If they have him for depth. They get the better deal.

 

People harp on Remmers but for an Undrafted rookie we got really good production out of him. Our problem was thinking that his production warranted him starting all the time. He was a quality back up, nothing more.

    • fans view “box safety” with the same disdain they have when they hear “game manager” QB.   but there’s a reason most 1st round safeties are “box safeties”-it’s a much longer list of requisite skills to be a good box safety than it is to be a guy whose only real responsibility is to not get beat over the top. Fans crave the ed reed type and as someone who has never been able to enjoy this franchise having a guy like that, I get the enthusiasm-but I’m not really prepared to spend a first round pick on a free safety. If it happens it’ll be fun, it’ll address a need with a good player and that’s well and good. But those guys end up walking after their first contract because their pedigree usually outpaces what their teams feel like they’re adding to their overall win total.
    • Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY.  I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)
    • I view FS almost as the NT of the secondary. Oftentimes the true measure of his impact isn't necessarily in the plays that he makes but what he allows you to do with the rest of your defense to allow them to make plays. When you have that elite true sideline to sideline FS safety blanket over the top of the defense it allows you to be a lot more aggressive with everyone else. Where as when you have a Nick Scott as your last line of defense you gotta be mindful to not have to rely too heavily on that.
