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.

    • In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit. 
    • Canales can never get his teams ready in the first week of the season so far. Hope that changes or Ben Johnson is going to take his azz to school.
