Coker to IR; Renfrow signed to 53

I think cutting Renfrow at the time was actually a move to try to increase Thielen's trade value. They are essentially the same player and having them both on the roster slightly deminishes their value. 

 

Came on here to say the exact same thing. I think having Renfrow and AT at the same time might have lowered the leverage with MIN.

For the same reason we signed Cam back in '21.

Thielen has always been a Viking and is from the state. Based on talent and traits, they're similar, but Thielen is probably retiring after '25....why not do it back home.

We put a ton of high draft capital into young WRs over the past few years. We drafted a WR in top 2 rounds of the draft in 4 out of the past 5 years. At some point, we need to rely on the dudes we drafted vs relying on veteran role players. That's the only way we're going to evolve as a team and take the next step to going back to winning again. 

Remember when Cam lost KB and everyone thought it was the end of the universe? And 2015 happened.  Maybe losing Theilen and Coker will open some opportunities for some other guys to step up.

Yeah but the guys that stepped up when KB left were veterans well into their careers.

Ted “no hands” Ginn and his sidekick Grandpa Cotchery.

Sounds a bit like Jimmy Horn Jr and David Moore lol. Obviously Horn is a rookie but ideally plays the same role as a Ginn

This is what I was saying earlier. He wants to play close to home. Honestly same as AT playing in Minnesota (except he was contracted to play here). People have to let things fully unfold before they start whining. Regardless I doubt HR will have as good of a year as some think. I see him as a clutch 3rd down guy and a nice vet to mentor these young WRs.

He said his conditioning in camp was a problem and the plan was for him to go to the PS to work on that. When the Adam thing happened, they decided to have him join the 53. The plan is still for him to work on his conditioning for the time being. He may be inactive or he may just play a few times here and there.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
