Vikings reportedly acquire CB Mark Fields from the Chiefs. He was a undrafted free agent signing by Kansas.

Miami traded for a guard from a team that had bad guards last season, we trade for a CB from a defense that had a terrible secondary.

Tyree Jackson the QB from Buffalo that ended the Vikings perfect preseason was also waived. We could make a move.

This does not bode well for Kris Boyd.

Isidora can now explore Miami. This trade bodes well for Samia and Udoh.

Idk why everyone was so high on Boyd. He looked slow and weak in the preseason.

Vikings are trying to trade Kyle Sloter before 3 pm, source said. If they can’t find a deal before then, they’re planning to release him.
Ridiculous. Sloter outplayed Mannion by a mile this preseason.

Guess we have to justify roster spots for the guy we burned a fifth round pick on who can't do either job well. Or the guy who was gonna get cut anyway but we traded a 7th round draft pick for.

And yes, I am not blind to the fact Zimmer and Spielman know more about this team than I do. It is a bit frustrating as a fan to see that the QB decision was never truly up for true competition.

Yeah Sloter definitely didn't earn a spot this preseason. Mannion has that experience. :roll:

Vedvik is gone
As is WR Davis

TE Dillion made the team. Expect only 5 WR's

Zimmer and Spielman look inept to me right now. From the Vedvik debacle to Mannion over Sloter, signing another CB when it's trim the fat season...

Very annoying.

I for one love the overreacting.

We can get draft capital for Sloter. Indianapolis could desperately use a QB now that Luck has retired.

Chances are, they dont and he's just released. Secondly, they wasted draft capital with Vedvik, so I feel like the reactions are substantiated.

Looks like Boyd is making the team.
