Actually glad that they are doing so. Bradford has a $17 mil salary this year and probably will want at least that going forward in a new contract. With all that money, 10% of the cap, we need quality but cheap backups.... Draft at least 1 rookie. Is Heinecke staying with the team?
I like Kaaya. Especially as a developmental guy. I think it would be a good value pick in the 5th round or later

The #Vikings say Chad Greenway will officially announce his retirement tomorrow. Great career, making a big impact on and off the field.

I agree. Chad Greenway is one of the good guys. I'm glad he was able to play his entire career with the Vikings.

Agreed! It's rare in this day and age. I can still remember when he tore his knee on that kickoff his rookie year. Glad he was able to bounce back and have a nice career.

Weston Steelhammer, S, Air Force (EW)
Can there be a better name for a safety? And he played at Air Force. It's like a super hero and call sign all wrapped in one.

What does "EW" mean?
The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." ‪#‎SKOL2018

Im guessing EW stands for East-West shrine game. As in that is when he met with the Vikings.

I thought maybe S197 didn't like the Air Force.

Is he a safety or a dwarf in a fantasy game?

Also, could there be a better name for a DT than "Chunky Clements"? lol
