If it comes down to strictly money.. Whew...Vikings can't compete with the kind of cash the Raiders have on hand...

Having Harris, Sully and Osemele on the inside is pretty damn good if you ask me. Then we have possible interest in Schwartz as well. Let Kalil walk and put Schwartz at LT? Who knows. But I'll truly be upset if we don't land one of either Osemele and Schwartz

#Vikings are very much in on Kelechi Osemele, as @Rand_Getlin said. This could get interesting.

Let's not play the "flip sides" game again, OK? Schwartz is a RT. And don't get your hopes up with Schwartz. The report of the Vikings interest was likely before Phil agreed to a restructure. If he wasn't in their plans to start if I were him I'd ask to be cut to pursue starting positions elsewhere. I think Phil's restructure signaled the end of our interest in Schwartz.

i don't think the loadholt deal eliminates schwartz from the equation. 2 mil a year for loadholt is necessarily starter money, and they could look at him at guard or as a top backup. if we miss on osemele i wouldn't say we are out of the schwartz race.

Media hyperbole or legit shot at this?

slapnut19 wrote:just guessing. tackles get moved to guard late in their career all the time. also i don't think they can give any type of guarantees to a guy coming off a major injury, especially when zimmer said all spots are basically up for grabs. with that said i can't see osemele or schwartz having to earn their spots if either one gets signed.

i hope if they are in they take it all the way. he's the kind of player this offense needs, and we can afford the cap hit, especially with what we are paying our qb.
