possible ILB just became available

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.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
