wcblack34 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I have no interest in OBJ. As another poster said, he's getting by on his name and first few years in the league. Powell played as well, or better, than KJ last season. I think he will do just fine as WR3. Hockenson and OLIVER!!!!!!!! can round out the passing game. We'll also have improved receiving production from the RB spot. WR3 is far down the list of my concerns. IOL and DL are my two biggest areas of concern. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I think the word on the street is that the Vikes will kick the tires on Tyler Boyd to be our WR3. Only 29 years old and would slot in perfectly behind Jefferson and Addison 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 29 years old and would slot in perfectly behind Jefferson and Addison Yeah I’d take Tyler Boyd over Brandon Powell, Trent Sherfield and Jalen Nailor any day. Brandon Powell did play well but I don’t know if he’s good enough to be a full-time 3rd option. A slot receiver is pretty much a starter nowadays, and Brandon Powell is not a starter. He’s a good back up option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen no indication that they tendered him an offer yesterday, which IMO was foolish. Everyone else seems to be indifferent to that, but I think it was an avoidable mistake. With no offer tendered, Risner can no longer affect the Vikings comp picks. Had the team tendered Risner, the result could have been a third-round compensatory pick if someone else signed him. Alternatively, if nobody signed him, he the Vikings would have had exclusive negotiating rights with him.

I'd rather have one of the other CBs who were cut (White, Howard) who wouldn't impact the comp picks. and I know some here don't care about comp picks, but given the current state of our team and draft capital, we need as much help as we can get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there was a tender they could have given him. The deadline for the tender was yesterday. I posted the details including links to the specific parts of the CBA last week.

swede700 Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 24 minutes ago, SemperFeist said: Can you link the details again? Yes, please do so, because I don't see anywhere where the Vikings can tender any UFA. Risner would have just had to sign somewhere before today to be considered potentially a CFA.

Ozzy Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Sucks the Vikings did not make a run at Michael Gallup, that is pretty cheap what the Raiders are paying him, 1 year $3 million for a pretty quality veteran WR. Also curious if they make a run at Noah Elliss who was cut by the Eagles recently, he is a great developmental NT and I would not mind him on the practice squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
