... and apparently you're adamant about that!Pondering Her Percy wrote:The link I posted said the ONLY team linked to Melton to date was Dallas. I haven't heard anything about Chicago.
I've seen reports that the Bucs are interested too.Chicago also remains interested in re-signing other free agents such as cornerback Charles Tillman, defensive tackle Henry Melton and backup quarterback Josh McCown. Little information has emerged regarding Tillman’s situation, although he’s been linked to Tampa Bay because of his history with former Bears head coach Lovie Smith. The Bears have worked diligently to bring back Tillman, and it’s likely the effort will continue as the cornerback’s prospects with other teams could be limited by his age.
Melton, meanwhile, has generated interest from multiple teams, including the Dallas Cowboys, according to a league source, which would make sense given the defensive tackle’s familiarity with defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli. That doesn’t mean the Bears won’t be able to re-sign Melton. After all, the Cowboys are tight against their cap, and it’s unknown what kind of money another team might offer Melton, whose value could be diminished since he is coming off an ACL surgery.
.....I think this is purely for depth purposes. Ducasse would be a "J'Marcus Webb" type signing and provide depth all along the offensive line.The Vikings will host free agent T/G Vlad Ducasse next week.
Ducasse was given countless chances to earn starting jobs at both tackle and guard with the Jets, but proved an utter bust. In Minnesota, he'd likely be competing for a roster spot. The Vikings are strong on the offensive line.
I believe its about $12 million but i dont know the exact numbers, if anyone knows i would also really like to know.Jeffbleedspurple wrote:What do we have left in our cap anyways?

I would agree with you that Zimmer is'nt stupid, but Spielman.........eeeeehhhh I'm not so surePondering Her Percy wrote: Well his price is going to drop significantly because of his ACL and I'm sure Zimmer and Spielman aren't stupid, they know where our needs are. It's the 2nd day of free agency. Relax

Yes earlier I said it was somewhere between $18 and $21 million after the Joseph signing. We still have plenty of room though. You also have to figure, anyone else we get from here on out, probably won't cost a whole lot. Most of the big names are off the boardsmoothoperator wrote: Should be around 20 million left i believe.

Granted, he is 32 but I just noticed that he has started 124 out of 128 games over 9 seasons in the NFLPurple News @PurpleNews1 31m
Source: #Vikings have made a call of interest to G Daryn Colledge.
Oh wow, didn't know he played most of his time in the slot, he should absolutely be our guy then. Josh Robinson was awful in the slot but if he could go back to his natural position on the outside maybe he can return to the promising young CB he looked like in his rookie year.smoothoperator wrote:"Munnerlyn spent 406 snaps in slot coverage — the second-highest total in the league — and surrendered an 81.7 passer rating with no TDs on his record. Minnesota’s Robinson-Blanton-Sherels combo of slot work gave up passer ratings of 127.2, 121.0, and 119.3, and five TDs."
We have to sign him
