At first blush I'm pretty much of the same opinion as [UMN]. A few minor things would be:
- Not all that interested in re-signing Sage prior to FA.
- Would probably allow Shiancoe to go to free agency and see if we can't get ourselves a better deal with him due to lack of interest or even go with another TE in the same price range.
- I'd be interested in bringing E.J. back, but only if the price is right. Another guy who I'd let go to market and see what we can do.
- As for Robison and Hutchinson being on the block (which I do agree with) what should we be looking for in return? Both guys probably wouldn't net us a draft pick that's worth much of anything, so I believe we should look for a swap of a player that's also out of favor. Just my opinion, though, feel free to add your two cents.
[UMN] what would we be looking at, cap wise, going into the offseason with your proposed cuts (and hypothetically moving Hutchinson and/or Robison) before re-signing players?

Well if we're putting Robison on the block, then a DE becomes a huge priority in the off-season. Not a huge fan of this move personally unless you guys want to use a potential first or second round pick on a DE.

Everson Griffen? Christian Ballard?
Both would seem to be capable of playing base end due to their strength and athleticism; although I'm only up for trading Robison if we get a 2nd round pick or higher, otherwise it's just not worth it.

Everson Griffen?
He would seem to be more than capable; although I'm only up for trading Robison if we get a 2nd round pick or higher, otherwise it's just not worth it. |
I just think when you have a good thing, you don't try and fix it. Robison had a darn good year in what was his first full season starting. He isn't a complete DE by any means, but unless someone offers up a 2nd round pick, I wouldn't move him. We have a lot of holes to fill and having a guy like Griffin as your back up is a good thing.

I will just say that I don't agree with your assessment of his season and will leave it at that.

I'm not exactly sure how it works, not having a position or anything. I don't think I'd be very active but on the Robison debate. I don't see there being a huge drop off between Robison and Griffen. Biggest concern would be Griffen's motor but that seems to be pretty good, too. If you could get a second for Robison I think that would be really good value.

Not be on "staff" doesn't mean a whole lot. There's nothing stopping you from popping in and commenting on a discussion. So feel free to follow along/participate.

Not sure if it's been done yet, but I've popped in to the General FFMD forum to ask for a clarification on Elimimian.

He's just listed under Soloman Elimimian instead of Elimimian, Soliman. |
I'll put him on the roster now |
Welcome the Elimiminator to Minny.

Added to roster.
Are we keeping track of a PS (61) or sticking to the 53 man roster?

From what I've seen, Ballard took all his snaps inside this year. Why stunt his development as a DT?

In his first year starting for the Vikings, Robison made as many sacks as Edwards ever did here, before leaving for his pay day. I agree that he is more of a liability in the rushing department. But he is a quality starter in this league.
I will leave it at that.

Head Coach PM checking in, folks!
I'll be posting a lot later tonight. I like the look of [UMN]'s preliminary work.
