We are in better shape depthwise at DE. It really sucks that free agency is before the draft.

This is a good read on the depth chart.

I think this is an offseason we will see who is on the team are team guys vs me guys. We need people to restructure contracts or they might get cut to see what is available on the street. I get it is not easy for a player, but knowing your team situation and getting some guaranteed $ has to be a benefit. I would think Sheldon Richardson is a guy that might come back on a reasonable contract. I doubt teams will be rushing to sign him and he has bounced around enough to know he has a good thing here.

A guy I would consider trading that wouldn't be popular would be Stefon Diggs. If you could get a 1st for him I would trade him. I think we overvalue him as a Viking. Cousins has gotten buy with average WRs in the past. There seems to be plenty of options in FA.

Chris Hogan, Jamison Crowder, and Randall Cobb should be targets we could get for 3M range.

I was noticing this afternoon that Diggs is gonna be making plenty of money for the next few years. Something to consider we wouldn't save any cap space for this seaso by trading him before June 1. I think Diggs is a good player. I think he got overvalued before this year but I think last season he proved he was legit. I'm not raining on your parade I get the idea of it (just saying the other side) but you gotta pay and keep some players and he doesn't turn 26 till November. There is a real chance Diggs could still get even better. Tough decisions ahead for the Vikings.

Remmers and Sendejo let go. We have 15M in cap space.

They're not done! I will not be surprised to see Griffen and Rhodes traded, or in Griffen's case, even cut.

Trade Diggs? Yuck. If anything, he's underutilized. The guy is a poor man's (and not very poor) Antonio Brown, but with a better attitude. I'd suggest that maybe we just need a QB who can get him the ball.

See we overvalue our stuff.
