He's only been on the team for 2 years and has produced well in spurts when he's given more opportunities. I think he's in the mix at the 3rd WR spot just as much as Simpson is. It'll probably be a pretty heavy rotation anyways.mosscarter wrote:3 years of sub par production at best. jennings can play the slot wright is useless.
Unlikely. He's never had a 1,000-yard season (hell, he's never had an 800-yard season). He'd be hard-pressed to match his 2013 numbers, IF he even starts on the outside (which I doubt).mosscarter wrote:dead poet: he will never be a starter that is the point. simpson was a huge signing because he just might have 1,000 yds next year.
Johnson has started 47-of-48 games the past three seasons for the Vikings, but won't be guaranteed the left guard job if he re-signs. He graded out negatively in both run blocking and pass protection last year, and is best suited for a "swing" role. Johnson turns 30 this offseason and should be limited to one-year deals.“I think the more depth you can accumulate on that offensive line, it really helps your ballclub,” Spielman said. “That’s an area that we’ll probably address in the draft as well.”
That's interesting. He had some pretty productive years with the Cardinals. Would be a good backup and change of pace signing imo.GQVikesFan wrote:Darren Wolfson

A FA RB the #Vikings have had exploratory talks about, I'm told: Larod Stephens-Howling. No visit set. Recovering from ACL last preseason.
I actually had us signing him in my mock offseason last year. He could definitely fill a Chester Taylor type rolelyzarde wrote: That's interesting. He had some pretty productive years with the Cardinals. Would be a good backup and change of pace signing imo.
Me too. Boo!Jeffbleedspurple wrote: Really? I think we should have signed him to a 1 year deal and let Coach Zimmer work with him some and seen what happen.
Dude what are you talking about?? He was drafted in 2012 so that's only two years. And if you ever followed him, he literally played all over the field when he was at Arkansas. Just because he is small doesn't mean he is a slot receiver. Look at Steve Smith. Wright is a field stretcher just as much as a slot guy. He has a lot of versatility and thats what I like so much about him. To say he's useless is just a clueless comment in my opinion.mosscarter wrote:3 years of sub par production at best. jennings can play the slot wright is useless.
Yeah, he's a shifty smaller guy that would probably compliment AP pretty well. I think you can get a guy like in the draft, too, though. Dri Archer and De'Anthony Thomas come to mind. Both are very small, both have great speed (I think Thomas had a surprisingly slow 40 time in the 4.5 range), and both could probably had in the middle-to-late rounds.lyzarde wrote: That's interesting.

Now, if he he's as bad as he's been the last two years...this makes for obvious cut next year.WLB Chad Greenway has agreed to reduce his base salary from $6.5 million to a fully guaranteed $5.5 million.
Greenway is coming off of a horrific season where he graded out 34th among 35 qualifiers in Pro Football Focus' 4-3 outside linebacker ratings. He has been solid through out his career, though, and should offer a veteran presence for a defense in transition. Greenway 2015 salary remains the same, meaning the Vikings could save $7.1 million by cutting Greenway after 2014.
He didn't lose much. It could even be argued he gained something with the full base salary guaranteed. Interesting.frosted21 wrote:Vikings rework Chad Greenway's contract. $1mil paycut, fully guarantee $5.5 base salary

LB Chad Greenway renegotiated his contract with the Minnesota Vikings in March of 2014. Greenway took a $1 million paycut, reducing his 2014 cash compensation from $6.5 to $5.5 million. The Vikings guaranteed his entire $5.5 million base salary in return for accepting the new contract. His 2015 season remains the same as in his original contract.
If he's really that bad, then the Vikings just pissed away $5.5M by guaranteeing his 2014 salary to save only $1M against the cap.NextQuestion wrote: Now, if he he's as bad as he's been the last two years...this makes for obvious cut next year.
