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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
