I'm not sure that there will be a bidding war. Although there is a dearth of offensive linemen and even average ones are getting paid.SKOLMN wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2019 8:55 pm Josh Kline set to visit us this week, possibly Wednesday, per all the beat reporters on twitter.

Good thing the NFL pushed back the draft... so when the Vikings get shit for Offensive Guard in FA... they can at least focus on drafting one, two, three... four? Five?

Free agents signed after a certain date do not count against compensatory pick calculations. What is that date?

Re: ***Official NFL Free Agency 2019***
The update is that we are not looking good right now. For a fragile quarterback who needs a Pro Bowl line why are we putting our money into Barr?
How can we draft so many needs and have it work out? Are we building for two years from now?

Starts 16 games and loses every game with meaning. He is gonna have maybe a worse line - unless you say the guys sucked. Then why did other teams pick them up?

So not fragile at all then. And not requiring a hall of fame line. Like you've previously said.

He has a fragile mind. You have posted hundreds of time about him needing and offensive line. Anyone who makes excuses for Kirk has said he needs a far better offensive line than he has right now. I think we agree on that.Simpson Get Lifted wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2019 12:36 pmSo not fragile at all then. And not requiring a hall of fame line. Like you've previously said.

What I am scratching my head about is why some are saying these offensive linemen we are losing sucked in the first place and we need better. Then other teams are paying more than we did for these sucky linemen and people are laughing about how the other teams are stupid and overpaying.
So it gets confusing and just sounds like some serious rationalizing going on.
Maybe these linemen were not that bad? Maybe it is that Cousins has a fragile mind and struggles with pressure in the pocket?
So in the end we are back to square one: How do you build an elite line with no money, losing our own linemen, and drafting a bunch of rookies?

Re: ***Official NFL Free Agency 2019***
Sounds like some serious reaching going on in your mind to ponder those questions. Considering everyone has overpaid for pretty much every position, I'd say you're conclusion makes less sense than yes, they sucked, and teams overpaid. But, it totally makes sense that you would try this hard to make it all fit.cunningham wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2019 1:10 pmHe has a fragile mind.

Sherels signs with the Saints. We got every nickel out of that guy we ever paid him. He will be missed!

I could see him coming back and being part of the KFAN radio team or something.
I hope he fumbles every time he touches the ball in New Orleans...

I never was a fan but I grew to love his punt returning and sure handed ability. He wasn't good when he actually had to come in and cover someone.
He was dynamic at one point on punts. With how the kick return game has changed and him being 31, the only thing left was his sure hands.
Time to say goodbye.

There were several times during the eras when we had shit QB play and struggled to score points when Sherels made huge and timely plays in the PR game to literally win games for us.
Houston, Panthers and Chicago games come to mind.

Jordan Howard to the Eagles for 2020 6th, 5th if he re-signs.
Pretty darn cheap price.
Bears better off with him than with out. Even if he is not their preferred type. Need a big bruiser sometimes.
