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.

Yeah, I’m big on Claypool. With Hockenson, that would be an ideal scenario, imo.

The multi-decade rebuilding cycle for the Lions alternates between telling the fans they have to be patient because they have good players who just need time to develop, and telling fans they have to be patient because they traded away those players for draft picks.

This should mean they won't have to look at the draft for a TE right? I like that Kwesi is willing to work with the division rivals

 

 

 

 

 

 

As long as he meshes in with the team well, then yes.  It certainly at least gives them options.

I think it certainly means they won't be looking to draft one this year. What will be interesting is whether they try to extend him after this season. The sample size with the team will be small.
