Vikings Trade Harrison Phillips

Re: Vikings Trade Harrison Phillips
I don’t get it. I know they are pretty deep on the defensive line now, but it feels like a salary dump. Plus the Vikings are paying half of his salary this year? I thought they would get more in return for Philips, who is a solid player. Or I am I totally off base?

Re: Vikings Trade Harrison Phillips
Addison has already been reported to be fine. No update on Felton. Losing him would be significant, I'm sure they plan on using him more while Addison is out.psjordan wrote: ↑Wed Aug 20, 2025 7:23 pmFreeing cap space?

Overall it just shows how they feel about the depth on the line. If you've got another player you feel is just as good but cheaper why not go with them?
I do think they're going to be signing some WR or another soon though.

I get that but it seems they just gave him away. Pay half of his salary this year and basically a late round draft pick swap. I guess I thought they could get a little better trade.Cliff wrote: ↑Wed Aug 20, 2025 8:25 pmAddison has already been reported to be fine. No update on Felton.

Re: Vikings Trade Harrison Phillips
I think we have two rookies who will make the team now that Phillips is gone. Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins and Elijah Williams have been playing well, and I predict we will bring back Adam Thielan. would love for us to trade for McLaurin , but his cost would be too much.
