And really, Bynum probably would have even less value since he'll be on the last year of his deal next year. I actually fully expect Harry to walk away after the year. If he doesn't, however, it will certainly be after next year. He has so many other interests outside of football and still basically has his health, so I don't believe he'd want to risk it much longer since he's going to be 35 in February. Safeties aren't valued as much a WRs but Moore was a big part of the Bears trade. But nothing wrong with having great depth at the position of there isn't much trade value. I hope Smith is able to retire as a Viking and he doesn't have to go play for another team. I do wonder how much winning a Super Bowl is on his mind though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't he play a couple plays on it? I suppose that's a slow developing injury and good on them reacting quickly once it was apparent how severe it was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize he was considering retirement that much. Maybe he's got new life with Flores as coach 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he did use it and threw the ball farther than Justin Fields did in 99% of the game against the Vikings.

vike daddy Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Milestones Approaching Justin Jefferson needs 117 yards to break Michael Thomas' record for most receiving yards in an NFL player's first four seasons. He is currently tied with Hall of Famer and Vikings Ring of Honor member Randy Moss for second with 5,396. Danielle Hunter enters Week 14 with 84.5 career sacks, which is just one behind Vikings Ring of Honor member Jared Allen, who ranks sixth in franchise history (includes totals before 1982 when sacks became an official NFL stat). Hunter has 13.5 through 12 games, which is one shy of his highest single-season tally (14.5 in 2018 and 2019). TJ Hockenson enters Week 14 leading tight ends with 80 receptions and needs four to break the single-season record among Vikings tight ends (Kyle Rudolph had 83 in 2016). Harrison Smith will be playing in his 172nd career game, the most ever by a Vikings defensive back. Smith passed Paul Krause's franchise record for starts by a defensive back (150) in 2022. https://www.vikings.com/news/final-thoughts-raiders-week-14?fbclid=IwAR1hVQk2H14OBn0WLU1k20dFvUkQZfypnPjkM9FI1DXXo_FjGn3w1A6AeZA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
