Jet to SF, reportedly 4-year, $30 million ($7.5 million average). Wow. Good for Her.

Also, watch out for SF this year.

Love the guy but that's a lot for him imo. He may just be the next Darren Sproles in that offense though.

I agree.
SF is on the rise.

Jet is now the 4th highest paid RB in the nfl. And we’re saying Murray was overpaid :confused:

SF is fashionable, but we'll see how well Garroppolo plays after DCs have multiple games of tape on him. Have to believe he'll go through a re-adjustment period. I hope Jet can do well for himself, he always played hard for the Vikings.

Then agian... I think SF overpaid. Jet has never been able to hold up to a full season of work in the NFL as a legit starter. He has always been at his best as the change of pace back. They just paid a lot of money to a guy who in all liklihood will miss 25% of the season if he is the primary starter.

SF is definitely making a splash, but are they this year's cap disaster in the making. Given what they paid Garroppolo, they might be the next explosion...

I agree, they still have holes to fill and have spent a big part of their cap.

Berger has offers from Vikings and Lions but weighing retirement. Decision to come in the coming few days.

Vikings acquired QB Trevor Siemian and a 2018 seventh-round draft pick from the Broncos in exchange for a fifth-round pick in 2019.
The Broncos were in a hurry to get rid of Siemian even though he was easily their second-best quarterback behind Case Keenum and costs only $705,000 this season. In Minnesota, Siemian will provide a formidable backup to Kirk Cousins. Mar 14 - 5:49 PM

Richardson is aiming for $15 million a year, so the sides obviously have significant ground to make up. The 27-year-old is meeting with Vikings brass on Thursday, though it's unclear how much Minnesota is willing to spend after investing $84 million in Kirk Cousins. The former Defensive Rookie of the Year impressed last season, earning PFF's No. 21 grade among 79 qualifiers at defensive tackle.
Looks like we are meeting with Richardson today

Richardson has a $11 million offer from Seattle. Sounds like Rick is up next. Let's get it done.
