Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 29 March 2024

Mark Hoffman/Milwaukee Journal Sentinel / USA TODAY NETWORK Since Our Last Open Thread... Which QB Do the Vikings Draft Next Month? Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new: No discussion of politics or religion No feeding of the trolls Leave the gender hatred at the door Keep the bad language to a minimum (using the spoiler tags, if you must) Speaking of which, if discussing a newer show or movie, please use spoiler tags No pictures that could get someone fired or in serious trouble with their employer If you can’t disagree in a civil manner, feel...

Examining the future of the current Chicago Bears offensive line

Photo by Todd Rosenberg/ Seeing which current Bears offensive linemen fit into the Bears long-term plans When he was hired, general manager Ryan Poles said he was going to build the Chicago Bears in the trenches. Fans weren’t too happy out of the gate as there wasn’t much effort made over the first season. Poles has his stamp firmly on both sides of the ball now, with only one key player (Teven Jenkins) remaining from the previous regime. Let’s spend some time on the offensive side of the ball, looking at the offensive line, the current members of the unit, and...

Make the case: Max Melton or Khyree Jackson?

Photo by Rich Schultz/ Given a choice, which cornerback should the Giants draft Joe Schoen and the New York Giants continue to tweak their roster in the front office’s third season at the helm. Schoen and company made a big splash at the start of the new league year with the acquisition of Brian Burns, and they signed several other pieces that give the team flexibility heading into the 2024 NFL Draft. Still, one position group is bereft of proven talent, and that is cornerback. Schoen has spent two somewhat premium picks in Deonte Banks (24th, 2023) and Cor’Dale...

Jaguars News (3/29): Arik Armstead details his free agency process

Your daily dose of Jacksonville Jaguars news for March 29, 2024. Good morning! Here is today’s roundup of the latest news, rumors, and analysis on your Jacksonville Jaguars. Jaguars News Jaguars quotes of the week: “It’s fuel moving forward” (Big Cat Country) Despite the optimism for 2024 at the Owner’s Meeting, it’s still difficult for the Jaguars to wonder what might have been last season. Sitting pretty at the end of November, the team won just one more game to let the AFC South slip away - and along with it a spot in the playoffs. The capitulation clearly still...

Lions GM hints at ‘crazy’ method of scouting CFL, Mathieu Betts

Lions GM hints at ‘crazy’ method of scouting CFL, Mathieu Betts

Photo by John E. Sokolowski/ Lions GM Brad Holmes talked about the difficulty of scouting CFL’s Mathieu Betts and hinted at their ‘crazy’ methods. Back before free agency started, the Detroit Lions signed CFL edge rusher Mathieu Betts. Given that Betts was named CFL’s “Most Outstanding Defensive Player” in 2023, it was a signing that drew significant interest from Lions fans—particularly ones who understandably believed Detroit needs some more juice in their pass rush. Betts finished 2023 with 18 sacks and four forced fumbles in 18 games for the BC Lions....

When they sent that over, I did feel extremely disrespected. I don’t feel like that level of compensation is nowhere near the player that I...

Friday Cheese Curds: Can Packers wait until after the draft to add another veteran safety?

Photo by Perry Knotts/ After the initial flurry of signings, free agency seems poised to take a major pause until early May, after the 2024 NFL Draft concludes. The NFL’s 2024 league year and the free agency period are now more than two weeks old and, as usual, the big money flew around early before quieting down considerably. When the biggest signings around the league the last few days are the Packers’ former TE3/H-back moving on and a veteran kicker coming to Green Bay to provide competition for a second-year player, it’s clear that the action is well and truly...

Silver Minings: Davante Adams 2nd most expensive wide receivers in NFL

Davante Adams | Photo by Ethan Miller/ You get what you pay for As we illustrated Thursday, the Las Vegas Raiders are currently projected to spend in the bottom half of the league on the offensive side of the ball in the 2024 NFL season. But that doesn’t mean they’re not committing big to individual players. For example, star Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams at near the top of the league when it comes to 2024 salary for wide receivers. Adams, in his third season with the Raiders, is set to make $28.25 million this season. Only Miami Dolphins’ star Tyreek Hill...

Cowboys draft: 3 hypothetical first-round trade scenarios for Dallas

Cowboys draft: 3 hypothetical first-round trade scenarios for Dallas

Photo by Scott Winters/Icon Sportswire via Here’s how the Cowboys could move around in the first round of the draft. The Dallas Cowboys could be leaning heavily on the NFL Draft if that’s where owner Jerry Jones wants to focus his “all-in” approach. The team approach for free agency is how it’s always been—modest, with some tier-two players sprinkled in. The 2023 class has been criticized for not meeting expectations as rookies, and the first three picks (Mazi Smith, Luke Schoonmaker, and DeMarvion Overshown) will now be recovering from surgeries before...

Buccaneers NFL Draft Target: Auburn Safety, Jaylin Simpson

Photo by Michael Chang/ The Buccaneers still need some depth in the secondary Despite the addition of Jordan Whitehead to pair with Antoine Winfield Jr., the Tampa Bay Buccaneers still have a severe lack of depth within the safety room. While Christian Izien was a surprise standout last season, he did so from the nickel corner spot after moving up from safety. Now, with the additions of Bryce Hall and Tavierre Thomas, there’s the possibility that Izien is able to move back - but his impact would be more felt where he was last season rather than sitting on the sideline...

Random Ramsdom: Tight end an issue for this season’s LA team?

David Reginek-USA TODAY Sports Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 3/29/24 The Los Angeles Rams are preparing for the upcoming season. There is plenity of excitement around young tight ends like Davis Allen and newly signed TE Colby Parkinson. However, the reality is that until we see either of those players do what Tyler Higbee has done for the Rams the last number of season, then the position will be a question mark. What are your thoughts about the Rams and their state of tight end? Perhaps they draft one? Please comment on whatever you’d like and have a great day!...

Everything we learned about the Detroit Lions at the owners meetings

Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports Breaking down everything we learned about the Detroit Lions at the NFL owners meetings. After a week down at Orlando for the spring owners meetings, I personally feel like I have a better understanding of the Detroit Lions’ offseason and other aspects related to the team. These meetings are often one of the most fruitful offseason events. When else during the year do we get 30 minutes sessions with coach Dan Campbell, general manager Brad Holmes, and team president Rod Wood? And on top of that, they’re intimate settings with only...
