 :scratch:  I'd bet O'Connell had a say in it when the LAR signed him as a FA last year though & if he likes him, that's all that really matters. :rolleyes:

But......LAR chose not to resign him. Is that telling?

Just like last year he starts the season on IL & can't play 'til turkey day. Besides, them not signing him, just like Von Miller, is more about the salary cap than anything else IMO. I sure hope he doesn't end up signing with GB.  :rolleyes:

Nobody could have stopped that touchdown. It was a pretty good catch eh?

Vikings defense best start tackling instead of trying to strip the damn ball.  :angry2:

Too many penalties today, hope they can get that cleaned back up. A little too predictable when they had the ball & the lead late in the game for me too. :scratch: How about a screen pass early in the possession? Not all of 'em have to go to Cook either. :doah: A lot of stunts & blitzes from their D made it tough on the OL today but they got some good help from the backs most of the time though. Big game from #55 & the D getting 4 TOs. GO BILLS!!!

Yeah, the "Prevent Offense" at the end of the game had me worried too.  All they needed was a sustained drive with a couple of first downs to ice the game, and what to do they do  :confused:

Cook up the middle.  Cook up the middle.  Pass on 3rd down.  Don't get it.  Punt.  :doah:  Repeat.

Cook & Mattison both had good games.  Osborn made a real good catch on his TD & Mundt was wide open on his. :happy1:  :cool:

It was fun to see Mundt get his first TD.  He was really smiling. I can hardly tell the difference in Cook of Matteson.  They both are good and run hard.

The Vikes just got a great TE.  9th overall pick in 2019.  TJ Hockenson.  We gave two top picks but we get him and 2 picks is the way I understood.  Irv just ain't staying on the field.  I think this guy is tough too.

I read somewhere that Smith has a high ankle sprain and is expected to be gone 8-10 weeks which is basically season ending. Another big target for Cousins plus he should help #4 with his blocking also.

Claypool just went to the Bears for a #2.

So we get Hokenson and...

In 2023, Detroit gets the Vike's 2nd round draft pick and the Vikes get Detroit's 4th round pick, and...
In 2024, Detroit gets the Vike's 3rd round draft pick and the Vikes get a "conditional" 4th round draft pick from Detroit.

I guess conditional means, if Hokenson sucks or doesn't stay on the team, then maybe the Vikes get the conditional pick?   :confused:  Or if he pans out and plays well, then the Vikes probably won't get Detroit's 2024 4th round pick. 

I doubt none of us will remember any of this by the time the 2024 draft rolls around.

Fantastic deal that Kwesi made on this.  Hardly cost us anything.  Down a notch in two draft picks.

I spose the Lions figure they ain't goin' no where this year - or probably next - so why not try to build some draft capital.

And with the 6-1 start, the Vikes seem to be in win-now mode.

Hockenson has to be excited as heck about this.  Going from 1-6 to 6-1.  Proud to be purple.  Grew up in central Iowa.

 :scratch: Yes, he's an ex-Hawkeye & a very good TE with good hands who can block too. He's a 2019 1st Rd pick, # 8 overall, who Detroit just signed to an option year, so he's signed through 2023. He should help open up the middle of the field for JJ & Theilen IMO. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/matthew-coller-vikings-are-all-in-with-trade-for-tj-hockenson/ar-AA13CRuV
