Probably have to make some decisions with players like Kendricks and Cook. It’s going to be tough to improve the defense.

cook will be a really tough call. we already went through paying a running back a lot of money with adrian. it seems like paying an rb a lot of money is a bit of a competitive disadvantage anymore

and we have to think about paying jj soon

Looks like Brian Flores is the new defensive coordinator. Seems like a pretty nice hire.

I just know he got fired after a relatively successful season as Miami’s head coach and it was a bit of a controversy. Sounds like he’s a big blitz guy though, pretty much the opposite as Donatell.

hendricks has been cut

sounds like we're still a ways above the cap so the changes aren't done. hadn't really prepared myself for losing some long-time contributors but i guess its happening

going to be weird seeing thielen on another team

our times at mankato overlapped. didn't care about the maverick football team though, but i did go to one game so i probably saw him play

i think i saw patrick peterson signed with someone, so he won't be back

restructured cousins for more relief (but didn't extend it i guess)
resigned bradbury (3 years) and mullens

Did we sign more than Oliver? Yes, Hockenson is back.

only 5 picks this year

I think we could use a lot of defense, and maybe a 2nd receiver. It doesn't seem like we have enough picks to fill all our needs.

Jordan Addison seems like a good pick and like him as a player, the big question is whether we could afford to go offense over defense.

addison is only 175 pounds, does that seem a little slight for the nfl?
