wcblack34 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10132914-biggest-takeaways-from-every-nfl-teams-final-2024-roster-cuts "The Minnesota Vikings' cuts yielded two big takeaways. The first is that they are clearly happy with the growth of second-year quarterback Jaren Hall. With rookie J.J. McCarthy set to miss the entire 2024 campaign following knee surgery, the Vikings are likely to lean on offseason addition Sam Darnold. While Darnold may have opened the season as the starter anyway, McCarthy's absence increases the need for quarterback depth. Following a strong preseason, Hall earned a spot over Matt Corral—a 2022 third-round pick of the Panthers who also spent time with the New England Patriots and the UFL's Birmingham Stallions. Hall, a 2023 sixth-round pick, isn't Minnesota's quarterback of the future, but he's done enough to be in the team's plan for now." It would be great if Hall keeps developing and can be JJ's backup next season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think they'd want a veteran around for mentoring and a soundboard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could always flip-flop and make Mullens that #3 or practice squad guy too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches, aka managers, and players aka coworkers, ime at other jobs, play such different roles in teaching and mentoring.... But you could be right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikesfan89 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Is Gaskin going to be the 3rd running back with Ham getting some time there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cearbhall Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 6 hours ago, SteelKing728 said: Maybe the only thing I can find disappointing is that we weren't able to trade Roy/Nwangwu/Cine and get any draft capital that we could get. With Cine, teams always give 1st rounders 2nd and 3rd chances it seems. I assume they tried to trade them. Judging by waiver claims, there weren't teams interested in those contracts even without needing to give up compensation. It might not even be just about the contract. Teams weren't even willing to use a spot on the 53-man roster after waivers were cleared and the players weren't bound by the terms of the previous contract. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they have their own who know their systems and just stick with them. Strange but awesome the Vikings could keep McCain, Carter, Tonyan, Ritcher, Lucky Jackson! Not to mention Robinson as well, curious Risner is not on there but clearly he is crazy injured or will be long term obviously... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I guess there is one they missed, Lewis Cine signed to the Jets practice squad. Curious if that means the Vikings have first pick on him to the practice squad and they did not want him? Not a huge surprise he found another team, honestly Jay Ward would not have been signed by the Jets or to any other practice squad, he could have been hid on the practice squad much easier. Good luck to Lewis though, is curious if the Vikings did not want him but clearly took McCain who is more experienced at safety over Cine which I guess was the original thought when training camp started.
