Yes Zenner made the wrong decision. I agree with all of you. Ok plan B for the Vikings! Go after Ryan Nall. They could probably get him for next to nothing in a trade.
WL, I agree
Zach Zenner should've gone to Minnesota. Word is, he's been close friends and workout partners with
Adam Thielen for a while. It would've been a great fit for him, as a Minnesota native... Now comes news that the Lions have signed some undrafted free agent, 3rd string tailback from Rams to a multi-million dollar offer sheet. Hopefully the Rams match it, but what sane team would throw millions at a RB that only rushed for 212 yards last season?
As far as Ryan Nall, any team in NFL could've had him for free last year after he was cut and while he was on the Bears' practice squad. Simply stunning that the NFL's top pre-season rusher, with his size and athletic ability, was not scooped off the practice squad at some point? I'd assume the Vikings will get another "free shot" at Nall, as Rodent Nagy will very likely cut him. Only way he makes Chicago's 53 man roster is as a Zach Line/James Devlin type blocking fullback.
If you google Ryan Nall, a bunch of videos are right at the top of big runs he made in preseason last year. Impressive stuff, 69 yarder, 32 yard TD, 24 yard TD. I'm sure that every single black RB with a playing role in the NFL does this multiple times every preseason. After all, we are told that the reason that he is able to break these off is because the defensive players he is going up against are no good. Well, then the much more talented "real" RBs should break one every play in the preseason, right??
FD, it should work both ways: Yes, Nall was mostly going against backups, but he was also running behind 2nd and 3rd string offensive lineman and catching balls from the team's 3rd string quarterback. What's even more curious, is how well Nall played on special teams and still got cut. Led team in special teams tackles during pre-season, but couldn't even secure the Bears' 4th or 5th running back spot, usually reserved for special teams contributors? No doubt Rodent Nagy wanted to send a signal to his black players that he was "
down with the struggle". Hope one his superhero's goes Latrell Sprewell on him......but finishes the job!
The Bengals cut linebacker Vontaze Burfict. He hasn't played more than 11 games in a season since 2013....If I were running a team I would give him no consideration whatsoever.
EP, supposedly this turd is being heavily pursued by the Oakland Raiders. So much for Cucky Chucky and Maycuck "
cleaning up the locker room" and building via the draft? Why did Cucky trade away all the vets last year, just to re-stock the roster with veterans that are even bigger head cases? By the way, the Raiders did sign defensive end
Josh Mauro to be their token "lunch-pailer" on defense?
As much as I like Hogan, it would probably be best if he signed a bigger contract elsewhere and Jordy finished his career playing Hogan’s former role in NE.
I agree, Thrashen. I was hoping
Jordy Nelson would go to New Orleans, a team that really wanted him (and the team he should've signed with) last season. But among the teams currently interested in signing him, only the Patriots make sense. Going to Seattle would be even dumber than returning to the Raiders? If Hogan leaves and Nelson does not sign, I can see them drafting
Andy Isabella with their first round pick. I know they rarely draft whites at "caste positions", but this could be different, if Brady wants him. He certainly fits a "need"*.
