VikeManDan Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I don't think OTC has been updated with the Abdullah (minimal cap impact) and Kline signings but Griffen has been figured in. https://overthecap.com/calculator/minnesota-vikings/ Just over $5.5M.

Agreed, seems there is other interest as well. I'm not counting on him coming back with some of those other teams in play. If we could get him for an APY of under $3M (I think that is roughly what he made last year per OTC) that would be ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go over $1.5m if we knows he's a backup at best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay that man his money!! It seems unlikely that any free agent that hasn't been signed by now will be signing a contract that would be at the 5th round compensatory level. That would be something over $6M APY. The best the team will get is another count on their net loss which is currently at five. A net loss over four is only helpful to account for future transactions as 4 is the maximum number of picks a team can be awarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the Raiders do have the money to shell out. I'm just banking/hoping on the previous Guenther connection and Gruden's affinity for veteran players. Here's all the FA safety deals from 2019: https://overthecap.com/free-agency/ I could see him slotting in above $6M (Vaccaro/Cyprien/Quinn) but as you said the timing probably doesn't work in our favor. He could very well sign a cheaper 1-year prove it deal again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
