I can only wish my health was as good as Mr @vike daddy claims about his health. I keep trying to improve my health but ultimately it is a battle we all lose eventually. my health is quite good, as i apparently got the good side of my parents' genes. my 92 year old father still goes in to work every day, even though he retired in his 60's. however.... remember the trip i mentioned i took to Belize in January...? turns out i picked up two insect bites that weren't just bites but tiny larvae inserted in to my leg flesh. 60 days later they emerged as large, live, wriggling grubs. ewwwwww! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gnat Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I'm seeing that the Vikings are bringing back Brett Jones for OL depth. He's a good option for backing up a lot of the interior line. I'm assuming it's true, it doesn't seem like a worthwhile April Fools joke and there are a few sources, but they are probably just quoting each other.

Seeing now that it is up to $1.5 mil with incentives (assuming based on playing time). So probably a very minimal cap number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually probably not much. If they hit the top 51 (or whatever that rule is) that counts against the cap, I'm guessing that the salary for Jones is probably vet minimum and same for Mannion, so if they are making (let's say)1.5 mil total, they are bumping out about $1 mil total, so that only $.5 mil being added to the cap. And I'm thinking it might be even less than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
