Kparty15 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 I’m guessing he’ll just be a rotational 5 tech? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 At Northwestern University, Lowry majored in economics with a minor in business institutions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Lowry he ain't no dumb jock, for what that's worth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 The Vikings announced that Lowry has agreed to terms on a contract with the team on Friday. He has spent all seven of his NFL seasons with the Packers. Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that it is a two-year, $8.5 million for Lowry. Lowry joined the Packers as a fourth-round pick in 2016 and he started 80 of the 111 games he played in Green Bay. He had 252 tackles, 15.5 sacks, an interception, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery in those appearances and added 15 tackles in eight games. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/03/17/vikings-sign-dean-lowry/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solidvikingfan Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Quote TBH, I've ragged on Lowry a lot during his time but he's a quality depth player. Durable as hell, eats a lot of snaps and flashes. 15.5 sacks during his time here is nothing to sneeze at. Not great in the run game especially if he's inside trying to anchor. Honestly not sure about him playing in Minnesota. Felt he was best late in the season when it got colder out at Lambeau. Overall, good depth player but he'll end up on the wrong end of some highlight reels when he gets blown off the spot by a guard in the run game. Ends up on the ground a little too much in that department. From Packfanfb A bit expensive for a player ideally used in strict pass rush situations.

An AAV of $4.25MM isn't bad for a solid rotational pass rush piece. And, in reality, that number is almost certainly less than $4.25MM a year. The 2/$8.5MM is the agent's number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always say this when initial numbers come out. Then we go “good deal!” When specifics come out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CriminalMind Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I’ll wait to see the actual numbers on this, i think/hope it will be lower then these numbers suggests. If the numbers are as presented for the most part, I think it’s likely too pricey for the value/production. needless too say, I’m hoping only 1 year is gaureented and/or there is incentives built into the $8.5M figure.

PrplChilPill Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Meh. I'm still not sure I understand the plan for this off season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kparty15 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 If he can get the same amount of pressure that Tomlinson got at an even cheaper price then I think this is a good deal. I’m sure with the way that Flores has 5 techs lineup in the formation will help mask some of his deficiencies in the run game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
