I think that's a smart move considering both tackle positions are on contract years. No need to have your center as well.

From what I have seen of smith and Kalil so far I am hoping we take at least two
tackles early next season there are four guys late getting second round grades.

Pick up a good free agent and give him Kalil's money and then draft 2-3 OL
we have one pick in second round and two picks in rounds 3-4.

Depending on how our passing game with Bradford goes and Teddy's return
I could see Peterson's last season with Vikings. were going to have to extend
a lot of our defense and pay them in the next few years too.

#Vikings source on how ready QB Sam Bradford is: "He is close. You can tell he is smart."

If we traded for him an hour before the game he was a better option to start than Hill. Give me a break.

Uh...
@mattvensel Mike Zimmer said Xavier Rhodes was stretching this morning and felt a pop in his knee. Will get a "scan" tonight

Sounds like gamesmanship. I think there was a report after Xavier went out with a "hammy" that it was actually a knee injury, wasn't there? I'm guessing they just gamed the injury report system a little.

Zim said they're separate injuries

I'm not seeing the advantage of the subterfuge. I mean, X is getting a scan. That's a long way to go to try and fool someone in a way I'm not sure how it'd work anyway.

I'm speculating that they already knew his knee was injured and they didn't want to tell TN that he would be out.

Ah. Whatever the reason let's hope isn't serious
