Vikings cuts and cuts from other teams.
There have already been some vets cut with legit resumes. I haven't really seen anyone I thought the Vikings should jump on but it shows the depth of the league and how tough it can be to predict what guys will get cut/end up picked up by another team etc.

How much are you willing to pay for a starting QB? There is a very real chance Teddy is done, permanently, or that he makes it back but will never be a starting quality QB again. How much do you mortgage this talented teams future for what is likely at this point to be either a second rate QB, or another aging short term answer?
I don't think I can imagine a worse case scenario than this. The Vikings team is loaded at pretty much every position so they're not going to be in position to draft another franchise QB, and we've seen how short term rentals tend to play out.
With the implosion of the Wild, and the inevitable fall of of the Vikings, thank God we have a young and exciting Wolves team!!

Who is out there worth paying anything in terms of assets for? I would be curious what the Bucs price for Mike Glennon is. There have been some suggestions about adding Kap. I am not exactly against that but he is a completely different type QB than this team has brought in since Zimmer and Turner have taken over. I've always liked TJ Yates he is supposedly healthy now.

This may not be the most up to date list but it's a good start.

Titans cut WR Hunter and WR/RB McCluster. They must have some pretty nice skill position guys although MCluster might be the only one of the to mentioned thats worth anything idk. McCluster seems like a guy that the Pats should pick up. If they do fantasy alert. Lol

So I just looked and the Vikings saved over 5 million cutting Sully. They now have over 12.5 million in cap space according to sportrac.

Sully seemed like a good dude and when healthy was a pretty good player too bad it had to end like it did especially with Teddy getting hurt.

The #Vikings have accumulated enough WRs that can play multiple positions to consider trading Jarius Wright. They'll likely keep 6 WRs.

I've always liked Wright. The guy has always been pretty solid and can do a lot of good things well. Thielen has really developed though. I wonder if there is a market for Wright. I mean there has to be some teams that need a steady fairly legit still kinda young guy is Wright but he also makes some decent money so...I doubt they will be able to get a deal done.

The final roster. I don't expect them to make any moves picking up any other players from other teams. No real surprises with an open roster spot since they are keeping just 2 roster spots for QBs and Griffin bring hurt so they keep a young safety. Beavers didn't make it which will drive people crazy but I don't care that much. I more care they were willing to let go if he wasn't good enough. Plus I actually like all the other guys better. Looking forward to see who ends up on the PS
