JDBrocks Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Consider that he has less mileage than a typical 32 year old, the contract is not a long term one, and he’s still likely to be productive during the years left. I think the Vikings would happily pay top 15-20 money to a productive veteran team leader. Especially when it is easy to cut him any any point going forward.

I agree, especially since they aren’t going to find a comparable player to step in from day one. I think Griffen and Alexander need to be the top two free agent priorities. I trust the Vikes to be able to draft and develop a DE but they should have drafted someone this year if they wanted to move on from Griffen in 2020.

swede700 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I'm not going to stretch out this conversation any further, but I will continue to disagree...for numerous reasons. While you all make some fair points, I don't agree with the conclusion, especially considering I feel they have adequate replacements for him should he not agree to that lower salary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikes_Bolts1228 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Janoris Jenkins waived after using the word "re--rd" on Twitter and not apologizing for it. No interest from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Peyton Manning set an important record five years and two months ago, when touchdown pass No. 510 put him beyond Brett Favre. Manning retired with 539, and he has not one but two quarterbacks about to pass him by. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has 536; with four today at Cincinnati, the record will be his. But Saints quarterback Drew Brees has 537. With three on Monday night against the Colts (he had five last Sunday against the 49ers), Brees would leapfrog Manning, too. However it unfolds, Manning is destined to be in third place while Brady and Brees jockey for the all-time record. Ultimately, the winner could be the guy who plays longer. Brady, now 42, continues to say he wants to play until he’s 45. Brees, who turns 41 a month from today, hasn’t specifically committed to an expiration date. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/12/15/peyton-mannings-all-time-passing-touchdown-record-could-fall-today-and-tomorrow/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrplChilPill Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I can't see how they let two starting DL go. Griffen will be back. They can't continue to pay Rhodes starter money though. And linval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how much it hurts the Seahawks...but, this behavior from Gordon is much more than knuckleheaded stupidity. He is exhibiting the behavior of a high functioning addict. I am in the camp that addiction is a disease. I hope that he can finally get well. He is a tremendous talent, but he shouldn't be let back into the NFL for the foreseeable future for his own health and well-being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcblack34 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I have a feeling that marijuana is probably going to be dealt with in the next CBA, and that players won't be suspended for it. I wonder how much that would have benefited Gordon. If it's only weed that he's been suspended for (exclusive of the PED's he was apparently busted for this time), his career may have gone a lot differently.
