roysmyboy31 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Very good LB and important to the success of their defense. Good work, Minny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see the team giving Richardson a contract extension until he actually plays a season for us though. It will probably come next year for him.

His production doesn’t equal a multi-year, +$10M/year deal. Paul Richardson got 8 a year and Moncrief got almost 10 (albeit a 1 year deal). Diggs is gonna get PAID.

I think what Watkins got is likely going to be where Diggs ends up. This is the cost of drafting and developing well. Good players will leave. My preference is to keep as much of the defense intact but I'd hate to see a player like Diggs leaves. In terms of prority, I had Kendricks lower on the list but my guess is that he may have been the easiest to take care of. I do hope that Barr is next. He's already on the books for $12 million in 2018 and I'd think he'd get a deal comparable to Kendricks, around $10-$12 million per year, over four years.

pigsooie5 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Surprised a little by this move. It essentially came down to Kendricks or Barr, as I don’t see the vikes letting go of Hunter/Diggs. I would’ve resigned Barr but the fact remains he has been playing in a scheme that doesn’t fully utilize his strengths. He’d be dynamite as a full time 3-4 OLB. Id expect a couple other larger contract extensions from the 2015 class in the next few weeks. Eddie Goldman should be one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 This is great news. Kendricks is my favorite Vikings linebacker. Glad to see he will be around long-term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any legit guys likely to not be resigned in a year or so? The best way to answer this question will be to look at who we pick up in the draft. You can only hold on to so many premier players, so at some point, you have replace some of them with rookies who can be paid on lower contracts for the next 3-5 years. It's strange, but the future of one of our very good defenders could very well come down to how the draft falls to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other factors should show that Diggs should still likely get some strong bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that doesn't even mean he has to be a top 18 WR for that to be worth it since you would have to adjust for inflation for older contracts.
