If they sign him, things could get confusing...

How many Charles Johnsons does one team need? ;)

Told Phil Loadholt is a done deal. Back to #Vikings. $2M base. Can earn up to $3.5M with incentives.

All of them. Wearing the same number. Confuse the other team. Win.

Good to hear about Phil. Bigger cut than I expected. But Phil loves it here.

That's awesome! If true, Phil took a huge cut that makes his upside far more worth taking a chance on. An incentive laden deal makes a ton of sense in this case. Hopefully Loadholt will earn the full incentive by playing great all season long.

Zach Line - RB - Vikings

The Vikings tendered an offer to restricted free agent FB Zach Line.

He's undoubtedly been tendered at the "low" level, $1.6 million. A 2013 undrafted free agent, Line emerged as the Vikings' lead blocker last season, playing 223 snaps.

Source close to Phil Loadholt says it's just a one-year deal: "He's betting on himself'' to come back strong after having injuries.

Thanks for the updates dead_poet.

Glad for Phil. It would have been tough to lose potentially him and Kalil.

I am hearing Baltimore guard Kelechi Osemele might be too expensive for #Vikings

We're going to end up with the same basic cast of characters on the o-line again, aren't we? :(

Way too early to tell. There will be new faces.
