Newman is back for what will be his final season. I know he wasn't as effective last year but I feel better about him being worthwhile back there than some younger guy (even like 28) that you hope to be average. I don't want to make too big of a deal about his leadership and possible mentoring but there is likely some value there too. It will be interesting to see what his cap number is.

I saw that. It will be interesting. If we have Hughes and Hill will make things interesting.

Hill is being compared to Richard Sherman for upside. He could be a diamond in the rough if he doesn't get in his own way.

Where's the playing time for all these guys? Rhodes, Waynes, Hughes, Alexander, Newman, Hill.

Thanks for posting. He sure looks like a pretty legit talent. There is certainly a roster spot to be had by young CB that impresses.

One of my coworker's husband served Michael Floyd wine that evening at Coopers in West End (St Louis Park). Apparently Floyd took an Uber away from there. Her husband didn't know Floyd was on lock down from drinking at the time....which confirms it wasn't the tea that got him drunk late at night.

Someone is likely to get hurt so hopefully a young guy is ready to step up when that happens.

Well the Vikings added David Parry as a FA. It makes sense to add someone like that that has experience. It's a bit troubling that they added another guy that had some problems being drunk. I watched some arrest videos and they were probably less bad than the MICHAEL Floyd one but he seems like a real idiot. I read one article that said a few people think this was a 1 time deal. Idk he certainly isn't a guarantee to make the roster.

Dalvin Cook limited at OTA's. He is looking good for training camp.
