2016 Vikings Free Agency Thread (News, Rumors, Transactions)

[dead_poet]

Multiple league sources indicated #Bengals floated a 2-year deal Nelson’s way early this week - no dice.

Oh Jim...

Osweiler is 6' 7" too and he's a free agent!

Eh. I am not sure how to feel about Alex Boone. He had his moments of dominance, for sure, but, also his moments of struggling (in pass pro). I want to see the contract details.

#Vikings are close to a one-year deal with Mike Harris, per league source. He'll come back to prove himself

Should make PHP happy!

#Fixed: If #Bengals Reggie Nelson makes it to market (and they DON'T want him back now), expect #Vikings and #Buccaneers to come into play.

It'll be more than what will make us feel comfortable. But that's the price for competent free agents.

I want to see what the deals are between Boone and Jeff Allen are. I would much rather have Jeff Allen if he comes cheaper than Boone. But that is just me.

I'm with you.

Vikes just resigned Harris. 1-year around $3 million.

Good. Competition is what we need.

I like Boone's position flexibility. Given our injury history on the line, that's a good thing.

Harris provides some of that position flexibility too. He was certainly a better RT than Clemmings. Boone and Harris at least provide some kind of backup plan at RT and LT.

Forte to Jets......glad the Pack didn't secure him.

That's no so bad, right, Texas Vike?

Oh, you meant he's a Houston Texan!

Acccording to Houston Chronicle Boone making just $1.6 million this season, so lessens blow of Kalil's $11 million. Then up to $6.6 6.6 6.6

#Vikings never seriously considered cutting Matt Kalil, whose $11.096M salary is now guaranteed. Believe new OL coach Tony Sparano will help
