CriminalMind Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Since signing period is upon on, or had unofficially started, I didn't see a thread to keep discussion of general signings and our hopeful additions rumors. I have not yet seen a "top 30" Free Agent from sites, predicted to actually sign with Vikings, and that's another reason I'm not getting my hopes up. Minny will surely be linked to the positions of OG, DE, S and DT in free agents, for phase 1, 2 & 3 of free agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I think DT, CB and OG could all use some veteran experience, I hope we’re targeting those spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Prediction: our first signing will be a backup QB just like 2015 on day 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Anyways, who are your top 5 FA targets for the Vikings. Mine are: 1.Trai Turner 2. William Jackson 3. Joe Thuney 4. Trey Hendrickson 5. Shelby Harris I'm not sure if we can afford any of them, and we are probably in play for only 1 bigger name out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcticNorseman Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I'm not sure I'd like the Vikes to be even moderate players in FA. The little salary cap we have should be used on internal extensions first, O'Neill comes to mind. Who else is in the final year of their rookie deals? I also understand there are a number of FA OGs / OTs on the market and highest bidder gets the guy, right? So, would it be a stretch to think the Jets, Jaguars, Dolphins and Pats will nab the top-tier talents? For goodness sakes, the Vikes are sitting at under $10m in cap space. 17 other teams are sitting there with better than $20M . . . don't waste time competing for services you can't afford from the outside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Hughes is on the final non-option portion of his rookie contract, but there's next to no chance his deal changes at all. Jayln Holmes and Tyler Conklin are the only others from that draft class still on the roster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then how would Rick justify unfortunately it takes two to tango. But we are fortunate to get "insert tier 3/4 player" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoDakViking Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I can't imagine Forrest Lamp costing too much. I know he was a favorite on this board back in his draft year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CriminalMind Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 My preferrance is "top OL" addition in FA. But I'm thinking we add "top DE" in free agency and address OL at #14. DE names i like: Floyd, Lawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Zeitler off the market on a very good deal. That stings a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
