apparently he didn't fit their current scheme, or it's possible he's a bust.  We'll see if EE is interested

#Vikings releasing LB Brian Asamoah, former third-round pick. Team was close to trading him at the deadline last year. Could be effective in new scheme.

#Panthers have added quite a few former Vikings defenders over the past couple of years with Evero as DC (Wonnum, Pat Jones, Akayleb Evans, Luiji Villan, TJ Smith) and still could improve at ILB. 

So, worth considering.

Zach baun was mainly a special teamer for the Saints before he went to the Eagles last year and broke out. He's absolutely worth giving a shot to considering how bad our overall linebacker room is. 

It seems one of the reasons he was cut was due to fighting in training camp the least 2 years. He sounds like a DOG to me why not kick the tires and see what happens.

I mean....I don't think that latter part is a point in his favor. Being a hot head isn't a smart thing if you are fighting for a roster spot.

It appears he barely played and maybe just sucks.

In 3 seasons he has 395 fewer snaps than Trevin Wallace's rookie season. 

But Wallace did get lots of extra snaps since last year's D lined up and refused to stop other teams. 😬 Seems like a couple of games our D was on the field for somewhere around 700 snaps . . .

I hate to burst anyones bubble but this guy played 188 total defensive snaps in three years but 802 special teams snaps.

If we do kick the tires, it's probably gonna be for that latter part.

Good, our ST is almost as bad as our ILB depth!

Snagging a lot of castoff players from a single team doesn't seem like a very good thing, does it?

Really, think it through. If it was one guy, maybe two, you can say they didn't fit scheme. Three or more and you are just looking for hand-me-downs in hopes that their DC, with a winning program, was just missing on picks and pick-ups regularly.

That doesn't play out.

Its August so obviously quality options are not there. The question is whether any improvement can be made to the bottom of the depth chart.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.

      Hypothetical question draft content*

      Well I guess he should stop playing football. This was his defining moment and chance to prove he was generational and he failed. What a waste of football life..
