Didn't see JET signed. That was a big payday for a backup RB. Good for him.

There is not a lot of teams in need of a RB at this point. He is a 3M a year player to me. Solder got paid. 60M.

I would guess Mckinnin will get us another compensatory draft pick in 2019.

Tramaine Brook got 4 million from the Broncos.

Word is Forbath and the Vikings both want him back. Sounds good to me. He isn't exciting but I'd rather have him than another guy that might really suck. He should be cheap. I saw Jeff Locke was signed quickly by the 49ers. Maybe I should have my agent contact them they seems to be handing out money.

The Vikings want to bring Berger back also. Sounds good to me we will see if it happens.

Brock for 4M? That is 500k a tackle last year.

Had to look at this.

Compensatory picks
In addition to the 32 selections in each of the seven rounds, a total of 32 compensatory picks are awarded to teams based on the players they lost and gained in free agency. Using a proprietary formula, the league defines a class of unrestricted free agents as "compensatory free agents ("CFA"). Teams that have lost more or better compensatory free agents than they signed in the previous year receive picks somewhere in the third through seventh rounds.[62] Teams that gain and lose the same number of players but lose higher-valued players also can be awarded a pick, but only in the seventh round, after the others. Compensatory picks are awarded each year at the NFL annual meeting which is held at the end of March; typically, about three or four weeks before the draft. Compensatory picks can be traded beginning with the 2017 NFL draft.[63] The placement of the picks is determined by a proprietary formula based on the player's salary, playing time, and postseason honors with his new team, with salary being the primary factor. So, for example, a team that lost a linebacker who signed for $2.5 million per year in free agency might get a sixth-round compensatory pick, while a team that lost a wide receiver who signed for $5 million per year might receive a fourth-round pick. However, the NFL has never revealed the exact formula used to determine allotment of compensatory picks, though observers from outside the NFL have been able to reverse engineer it to some degree of certainty.[64]

All compensatory picks are awarded at the ends of Rounds 3 through 7. If fewer than 32 such picks are awarded, the remaining picks are awarded after the final Round 7 compensatory picks in the order in which teams would pick in a hypothetical eighth round of the draft; these picks are known as "supplemental compensatory selections". More than 32 compensatory picks have been awarded only on one occasion: the 2016 NFL Draft, where 33 picks were awarded; the additional pick was awarded (under an agreement between the NFL Management Council and the NFLPA) to the Buffalo Bills for losing Da'Norris Searcy to free agency and signing Charles Clay as a transition tagged player from the Miami Dolphins, who had not qualified as a CFA.[65][66]

In 2018, the NFL released the compensatory picks on February 23 (nineteen days after the Super Bowl).

Thanks for posting Bleed that was good info.

Yess!!! We are getting Trevor Siemian!! Ok I'm just joking but actually for a backup I think he could be fine and he makes less than 2 million which might be less than the good backups. Hopefully we didn't give up more than a 6th or 7th round pick.

Ditto - I saw somewhere his stats were actually slightly better than Keenum's before he became a Viking.

Kind of need some Guards.

Draft?

I was shocked at how much he got. Good for him I guess.

Siemian, alright. Has some experience starting so that's a plus.
