Hard to know what Adofo-Mensa is cooking up.  A trade maybe?

Were some thinking Smith would be a cap casualty?  Maybe Adofo-Mensa is hoping others will re-negotiate their deals so they can keep Smith.

I don't know what good it serves for Smith to ask to be release.  You'd think doing so would lower his trade value - which is good for Smith, because that increases his chances to find another team he wants to play for instead of being traded to one he doesn't want to play for.

yea what happened with all the big BRO stuff in the beginning of the year with Hunter.......... :scratch: :doah:

so if they cut him loose would the Vikings be free of more cap space........send him packin if he dont wanna be here........

Good luck to Adam.  He is a free agent now with a few good years left as a #2 or slot receiver.   I do hope he knows when to get out when the gettin' is good.  But I also know it is tough for athletes to stop competing at the highest level.

Like they say...  THE most important ability in the NFL is AVAILability.

We only see that he is hurt and off the field.  They see what he is like everyday in practice and how he rehabs.  They must not see enough upside to keep him around - even on a team starved for serviceable CB play.

After the 3 cap casualties this week they are still $7.5 mil over, so there's more to come. That needs to be done by Wednesday.

Cook will be cut or traded. Harrison Smith might be another casualty.

I agree on Cook but Mattison is a FA too, so they need to figure out what to do with him as well. Does Mattison take over or do they let him go & sign another FA? :scratch:

I think Cook would have to take a pay cut to stay. Read there is a team interested in a Cook trade. Didn't say who it is.

Harrison Smith will most likely go. Read he will take a cut to stay.

Zadarius Smith wants out. He might be gone also.

The Vikings owe Danielle  Hunter about $13 million against the cap in 2023. He could go also.

They have cut CB Cameron Dantzler and Linebacker Kendricks.

Patrick Peterson is a free agent.

Linebacker Jordon Hicks might be gone too.

Could be a whole different defense including a new coordinator.

Bud died, 96 years old. He had a good run and will be remembered in this state for a long time.

There were a few games where Dantzler was hitting hard and shutting down receivers.  BUT like they said, just hurt too often.  Sorry to see him go too but a guy that plays every game would be great!  Hope they make a deal work with Harry and Peterson.  I think they help the young players too.

The only people who blame him are the same people who don't understand the issue. Bud happened to be the biggest name but really didn't have much to do with anything.

As the years roll by fewer and fewer people remember the squabble at the time. 20 years from now it will be completely forgotten.

Vikes sign the best blocking TE in football.  Josh Oliver  From the ravens I think.
