SteelKing728 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I love it. What we traded to get him wasn't that bad either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshpit23 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I wonder if this means no trades for a WR!? I love Hockenson. He’s a good blocker and a good athlete. He’s got that tough guy attitude, too. Great signing,, he’ll definitely make improve our team, but not sure about the compensation. I guess I need to process that for a moment.

vikesfan89 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 That seems like a lot to give up but it's nice to get some picks back. I suppose the 32nd in the 2nd round isn't so bad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share Posted November 1, 2022 I think it's a very fair deal. And he's under contract for next season on his 5th year option as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AP_allday2869 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 This is an amazing trade!!! Not only is he a Hawkeye, but he is one of the best tight ends in football. This tells me that Kwesi and co. believe that we can compete for a Super Bowl this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Traded 2 picks Receive 2 picks back and TJ? Love this for the Vikings. We keep the same amount of "dart throws" in the draft while bolstering our worst position on offense with a top 5 TE? TJ is gonna take our run game and red zone offense up a notch. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's the case, necessarilly. I think the Vikings are only on the hook for his pro-rated base salary this season. So he'll only count $536K against the cap. That's awesome. We could create cap space elsewhere and sign a FA like OBJ or trade for another rookie contract guy like Claypool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
