CriminalMind Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 4 minutes ago, vikingsrule said: Sounds like he can get after the QB too, which doesn’t have to equate to total number of sacks. Disrupting the pocket will certainly help create pressures. I’d assume that Tomlinson should see more playing time than Pierce due to the ability to potentially remain on the field in passing situations. I think Dalvin will see more time than Pierce but i think he effectiveness/win rate will reduce the more we ask him to rush the passer on 3rd and long... and quite frankly opposing team may welcome that, helping to enable their QB to sit behind the OL longer not having a 'pure/better' pass rushing DL to contend with.

I guess I’m not so sure, there’s a fair shot both could have time out. With hunter back, the rest of free agency, and the draft we could see others slide inside on 3rd down packages.

swede700 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I can't remember if I saw it or not, but this designation will help free up some money after the draft, especially if they want to leave themselves some room in case of another injury where they have to pick up a street FA.

The designation allows the team to spread Rudolph’s dead money hit over 2 years. I think I saw like ~$1.5M in 2021 and ~$2.0M in 2022. The only “downside” is that none of the $7.9M in cap savings will hit the books until June 2. But since the team will need roughly $6M to sign their rookies and a practice squad, it’s good timing.

vike daddy Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Thielen’s cap number has gone from over $13.468 million to $5.698 million as a result of the move. There are three years left on Thielen’s contract. He is set to make over $12 million next season, more than $13 million in 2023, and $15.4 million during the final year of his pact. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/03/18/vikings-restructure-adam-thielens-contract/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I'm curious if we look for one more outside Free Agent to sign with the added cap or if we use this money to extend Hunter? Either way, I want Thielen and Hunter to be Vikings for their entire careers! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
