Treadwell had his chance.
5'10"? Little dude.

Don't know much. Apparently fast. Has to catch better than Treadwell.

Decent player. Speedster type with solid hands. He's small but isn't thin of frame. I see us using him in the slot a lot. Think Jarius Wright

Cut Roc Thomas to make room on 53-man squad? Thomas is literally the only player on the Vikings' depth chart not to crack the three-deep:

Beebe's training camp/preseason performance reminded me a lot of Thielen's rookie TC/preseason performance. Wonder if he'll get a chance this season . . . .

Kind of a blah signing. Hoping Zyl or Coley get a real chance at the 3rd WR spot

Don't feel any better with Coley. Where is Beebe? I think a scrappy wr would work well in this offense and would be a nice safety valve for Cousins.

Roc makes sense. Although I wouldn't be terribly surprised if Zylstra or Coley go. IMO Coley wasn't spectacular yesterday either. One pass went through his hands late in the 4th that could have been intercepted, and he couldn't locate the ball on the INT that was overturned. Not certain if that was on Cousins or Coley though, but Coley ran an inside route, and Kirk threw it outside.

Bottom line is we need a reliable 3rd WR, because Kirk is going to use them.... which is fantastic if they can be counted on. I think they went all-in on Treadwell this year. He won't be getting cut yet. Hopefully it works out, but for now I don't trust him for sure.

Corey Coleman is being cut by the Pats to make room for Josh Gordon. I almost would have liked that move better than Robinson.

I don’t want Coleman, if he can’t make the Browns I’ll pass. He looked lazy and entitled in Hard Knocks.

Coleman is the epitome of a bust. Been on 3 teams and was cut by all 3. When you’re cut by the browns you know you’re bad. Guys call Treadwell a bust. Coleman is even worse
