I have heard the chatter too, possibly from the same source.

No moves which I guess is ok and expected. I didn't realize it but this Wash team actually has a good front on D. Bradbury and Ingram can't forget their back plates for this one. The Bermuda grass should soften the blow also.

I am beginning to wonder if Cooks to the Vikings is fake news, same source was saying same thing about OBJ

According to Adam Schefter , the Vikings have traded for TJ Hockensen, I might have to believe this one!

Per Ian Rapoport Twitter:

"The newest member of the #Vikings: TJ Hockenson.
 
A huge deal, with the #Vikings sending a 2023 2nd rounder and a 2024 fourth rounder for Hockenson, a 2023 fourth rounder and a 2024 conditional fourth rounder."

Good Move! We was hurting at TE. :rock:

I think this is a good move. I give our GM credit. I thought the deadline was past.

This guy was awesome in College, one of the best TE's ive seen. They should have traded Irv and Mattison.

Well Irv carries little value for a team given he's out 8-10 weeks and has done little this year. And I dont think it's wise to trade Mattison right now. He's a really good compliment to Cook right now. Remember, we are in win-now mode, teams like the Vikings usually arent the ones trading players away. They are trading for players from teams that are entering rebuild mode. Hence the Bears trading Roquan, Lions trading Hockenson, Texans possibly trading Cooks, Panthers trading McCaffrey, etc. Those are all rebuilding teams.

No team is going to trade for Irvin since he has been hurt too much, Vikings will cut him after the season

Claypool over to the Bears, so scratch that one from the Vikings possibilities. After trading for a TE, we'll see if anything else is in the works

Bradbury is worthless so it is necessary. Sooner or later we will need to make a comeback which means putting the ball up. If you can't pass block it makes it much more difficult and then every hater will come out and explain Cousins sucks. Bradbury has already been booted when the 5th year was rejected but KAM is waiting for the season to be over. You can't sit around waiting. He thinks it will come to him. He needs to go out and get it. The hell with 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th round picks. They have little to no value but they can be used in a trade because it's better than nothing. You might hit every decade on one of them.
Yeah Bradbury is worthless but Bradbury will be a free agent next year
I believe Bradbury has the 6th best center ranking this season by PFF. Might not be as worthless as you think.

Was about to say the same thing. By no means am I a Bradbury fan, but he has been wayyyy better this year.
