I'm not sure reagor is even on the team next year, but I think he is. If he reaches those numbers and everyone else is healthy, this offense is ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) It's now official (it should be noted that there was no mention of retained salary, but we may find out about it later)... Edited May 16, 2023 by swede700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. interested in the salary aspect. I really expect a Hunter raise here shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) Unlike what others have thought, I think the Vikings did real well in this deal. Edited May 16, 2023 by swede700 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 That’s A LOT better, in terms of retained money, than I was anticipating. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm good with it. they were stuck between a rock and a hard place in terms of compensation navigation. I just need them to now put the free up cap space to good use.

True, but I see people seeming to think that the Vikings are getting fleeced by the Browns for getting rid of him. As far as I'm concerned that's the biggest reason for unloading him, outside of his desire to go elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Much more reasonable in terms of retained salary as others have mentioned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 In the reworked deal for Za'Darius Smith to facilitate the trade from Minnesota to Cleveland: - The Vikings eat $1.177M in the form of signing bonus that's it? pffft. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cearbhall Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 With only the $1.77MM SB being swallowed by the Vikings as part of the deal the team will have a very nice amount of Savings. I am surprised someone hasn't already calculated that that is, but I too and too lazy at the moment to calculate it. It's obvious that it will be a lot.

Ozzy Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Trade a Pro Bowl edge rusher and a 6th/7th rounder for two freaking 5th round picks. What a joke. Odd how NFL trading works, clearly they just did not want the contract, but obviously got almost nothing in return for him... Obviously then they will get slim to nothing for Cook as well if he is traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got something for a player who clearly didn't want to be on the team this year and definitely would not have been on the team in '24. And he's 30 yrs old (turns 31 before Week 1) with a significant recent injury history. That's far from a joke. That's a pretty good deal.
