Sounds like Sheldon Richardson is in town.

interesting

That would be a nice pickup. PFF had him rated as a solid B-level tackle. Without naming names, Spielman also expressed confidence they're going to be able to get some extensions done with some of our upcoming free agents -- Kendricks, Barr, Diggs, etc.

I’m a little skeptical this is going to happen if Richardson hasn’t signed yet, but I guess he’s still in town so maybe.

And minutes later he agrees to a contract. 3 year deal.

Love the pickup. He has cooled off the last couple years compared to how he started his career. But under Zimmer and this defense, I expect him to be a pretty impactful player.

The report might have been premature, I’m not sure right now.

looks like its a one-year deal for richardson, $11m

and they restructured latavius murray's deal

They cut Jarius Wright

wow, a little surprised.

although his role has been diminishing and we were wondering why they were keeping him around in the first place

here's hoping treadwell takes the next step

they probably aren't bringing floyd back either i'm guessing. do we need another receiver?

I’m not necessarily surprised, we’re probably looking to create cap space. I’ll miss Wright, he seemed to make a decent amount of big plays relative to the amount of opportunities he was given.
We probably do need another receiver.

minor moves from here on out i think, no more room for big splashy moves (unless someone gets cut or traded)

this upcoming draft is becoming really important for hitting on some good players that can replace some of the more expensive ones going forward

signed kai forbath to a one year deal

apparently us, the jets, and the cardinals are the only teams that bid on cousins (no broncos)

tom johnson off to the seahawks, joe berger retired, and sirles off to carolina

signed tom complon though (never heard of him)

need some offensive line help big time in the draft

signed kendall wright to be the 3rd wr

or compete with treadwell

Seems like a mortal lock we're going to take a guard pretty high. That kid from UTEP sounds like he'd be a pretty good pick-up if he's available. It would be so huge if we could draft a couple of difference-makers.

Treadwell has been so disappointing. If we had hit on either him or Patterson, we'd be almost unstoppable. I guess it all came out in the wash given how we got Diggs in the 5th and Thielen off the trash heap. But still...

At any rate, pretty good interview with Spielman on the pursuit of Cousins.

yeah its great we did hit on diggs and thielen because we'd be in a real bad way wr-wise without them

vikings signed eric kendricks to an extension: 5 years, $50 million, and $25 million guaranteed

and so begins the quest of keeping as much of the team together while paying people more, good luck rick

hunter, diggs, and barr are on watch now

schedule is being released in an hour
