swede700 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Quote The team (Buccaneers) announced on Monday that they have signed two defensive ends to their 90-man roster. They are former Titan Mehdi Abdesmad and rookie Hendrick Ekpe. They placed defensive end Justin Trattou on injured reserve and waived running back Blake Sims. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/08/28/buccaneers-sign-two-defensive-ends/ Trattou is the former Viking, but also of note is that Ekpe is a former Gopher.

True...although since Charles Johnson has already been ousted, they're down to 7 now: Kurt Coleman Matt Kalil Zach Moore Captain Munnerlyn Joe Webb David Yankey Toby Johnson So, they're the reigning kings of former Vikings.

vike daddy Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 The Colts have decided to move on from punter Jeff Locke, releasing him on Monday. The contract signed by Locke with the Colts gave him a $750,000 roster bonus on March 12. It also carried a $1 million base salary for 2017, $500,000 of which is fully guaranteed. But the guarantee is subject to offset language, which will give the Colts a dollar-for-dollar offset if Locke lands elsewhere. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/08/28/locke-leaves-indy-with-1-25-million-subject-to-partial-offset/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heimdallr Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I can't understand how any real NFL personnel guy can look at T.J.'s tape and sign off on bringing him in. Kerin was.... OK I guess? Never going to be anything more than a PS guy. Robinson should stick around for a while as a backup, but he isn't any better than Erin Henderson, or Mike Mauti, or any of the other LBs the Vikings have lost in the last 3-4 seasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they see a prototypical sized offensive lineman with great lengrh and plus athleticism, who's only issue is really his fundamentals and technique. Coaches have egos and think that they can teach/fix those issues that another coach couldn't. I would not be shocked to see Clemmings turn into a legit offensive lineman (even if it's as a reserve lineman) under the tutelage of Bill Callahan.
