That is an overstatement, the Vikings are 16th in current open cap room for this year.
That isn't the only factor when it comes to overall cap situation, not at all, but just saying.
EDIT: Im sorry Jim, i read that wrong, I thought your comment was in regards to the Vikings, my apologies!

#Vikings also formally waived Austin Wentworth, whose football career ended last March because of illness. But in class move kept paying him

It doesn't sound as if Cincinnati free-agent safety George Iloka is close to any deal right now. #Vikings are still in the mix.

Maybe we see CP play. Seriously. But i will die if they pay (or overpay) for a FA WR. Grab a good hands WR in the 3rd or later.

That's the view from afar but starter J'Marcus Webb has always been an adequate player at best and he's a free agent. The Raiders run blocking wasn't anything special last year. They have room to upgrade, especially at the point of attack and in addition to Webb, their starting left tackle, Donald Penn, is 32 and also a free agent. Signing a versatile, quality player like Osemele actually makes a great deal of sense for them.

No, 2 seasons with the Vikings and 4 in the NFL.
