Fair enough...I'm sure they'd also want to let those guys be in a good position as well (although I'm pretty sure they've already had a good idea what's going to happen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I think Vikings fans are going to have to wait until the eleventh hour for news on who’s been released/traded. If they are still trying to negotiate restructures with guys like Griffen and Rudolph, that’s going to go down to the last minute. The same goes for a possible trade involving Griffen. I’m guessing that any potential trade partner is going to want to see how the pass rusher market plays out. They also know that if no restructure happens, the Vikings are likely going to release Griffen. As for Remmers and Sendejo. Sendejo can basically be cut at any time. If they’re going to do it, I’d expect it to happen right around the time that the legal “tampering” period begins. Remmers on the other hand, we might be waiting a while before we see his release. The Vikings would save an extra $1.2M in cap space if they waited to cut him June 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they really can cut him any time and just designate it as a post-June 1 cut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the case, which of course would hamper them in any free agent signings...so saving that $1.2M wouldn't be enough to warrant waiting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 It all depends on whether the team thinks that having an extra $4.5M now will be more beneficial than having $5.7M later, combined with either eating $1.8M this year versus eating $1.2M in 2020. For me, getting an extra $1.2M right around the time you start signing your rookie class seems like a smarter move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad I don't have to make that call because they could get ripped no matter what decision is made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heimdallr Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 I know a lot of people here (me included) were fans of Billy Turned coming out of NDSU (also from Shoreview, MN). I have to imagine Rick will give him a real look 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
