This just isn't factual. It has been widely discussed, so yes, it is factual. I just posted the other day that it was being discussed on PFF (the tweet I posted), it's been discussed on PFT, it's been discussed on KFAN. In addition, he's posted a lot of cryptic tweets in the last week, which brought up the issue again on a national scale. Just because you may not have seen it or heard it doesn't mean that it hasn't been widely discussed. I didn't just make it up because I was bored.

You didn't make it up because you were bored, but your "sources" did. Widely discussed by folks on the internet creating hypothetical situations for off season clicks. There is no reputable source saying that the Vikings are considering this, or that Diggs wants out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you won't, because of the time of year it is. If it is true (which I have never stated that it is, but it is rampant speculation), that would decrease his value in a trade. But, the reality is that no one would be speculating about it if Stefon wasn't tweeting what he is. He is the sole reason for the speculation. If it's not true, then it's solely about him increasing his own likes and favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBrocks Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Stefon Diggs has been tweeting cryptic stuff like this for years. That's just who he is and what he does. I think he gets a kick out of it, honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vikes_Bolts1228 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I am speculating than Fran Tarkenton will come out of his extended retirement and lead the 2021 Vikings at Quarterback. That has just as much weight as "OMG STEFON DIGGS IS GOING TO BE TWADED!!!!!1111asdasd!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 And just like that the Vikings are under the cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, and would expect Odenigbo to get more snaps, but I think there is value for the team in his veteran presence and for him in not having to pick up a new scheme and fight for a role at his age. I think the article said as much. This could be a very interesting, career defining off-season for Zimmer. If they are able to move on from the expensive defensive stalwarts and remain productive as a unit I think I would expect Zimmer and Spielman to receive extensions.

SemperFeist Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I’m expecting a 2014-esque defense in 2020, with the team relying more on the offense. The defense won’t be bad, but they won’t be top 5. A retooling is coming, I believe. Similar to Seattle when the team started moving in from the Legion Of Boom.

I agree, the defense is going to be in a transition period. I expect the DL to have some depth issues this year, which is a problem for a coach who likes to have a deep rotation. Cousins, Diggs and Thielen will need to carry the team, will see if the results justify their contracts.

If this gets done prior to the new league year, the negotiators from the NFL and the NFLPA should get huge bonuses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
