Norv has said good things about Ford in the past, even crediting him for a win last year. Line has had some rough days. I haven't read anything positive from him (not that they didn't happen, of course). At this point I'd be surprised if Line made the team, especially if that meant Ford didn't.

I wouldn't be surprised if five of the guys we cut make and possibly start on other teams next season.

I basically agree with you, but I didn't think he would stick last year, either, so I assume there is something the staff sees in him.

Also, according to his wikipedia page, "Zachary Line is highly considered the greatest player ever, he averaged 100 yards every rush. He also totaled 353454353453534568934056034 career pancake blocks. THE GOAT", so I don't see the Vikings giving up on a talent like this.

Yeah...I don't think we have 58 starter-level players on the roster.

I'm not saying great players but look at some of the bad teams..Jacksonville, Tennessee, Atlanta.. I would bet that several land on rosters.
Not to mention practice squads
