Ameer Abdullah has re-signed with the Vikings, so let's chat about that quick. Most of the show, though, is about the Vikings' remaining options in free agency.

On today's show, we're tackling the news and notes from the weekend, but it's sparse with the Vikings in limbo while they wait for extension negotiations to continue. Most of the show is Mock Draft Monday, and there are two goals: To trade down and get a 2nd round pick back, and to get a day 1 starting guard. My trades didn't go great, but I did accomplish those two goals. You live, you learn. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

On today's show we're going over some of the odds and ends from Thursday. The Vikings restructured Adam Thielen's contract to make a little cap space and also designated Kyle Rudolph's contract post-June. Here's what that means. Plus, a huge TV deal is coming down the pipeline, which will explain some of the weird money moves teams are making. Finally we'll chat about the Kirk Cousins contract guarantees and what they mean, plus what today's deadline is actually a deadline for. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Vikings made a splash on Wednesday, taking Patrick Peterson from the Cardinals for a 1 year, $9 million deal with some incentives in it. What do the Vikings expect from him? How does this affect the corner group? Are Zimmer and Spielman going all in with the ultimate apocalypse looming over their every waking moment, lingering in the back of their minds like the guilt of the sins of yesteryear?

The Vikings have released Shamar Stephen, clearing $3.75 million in cap space for 2021. They also declined to tender or re-sign anyone but Rashod Hill. That includes Ifeadi Odenigbo and Mike Boone, pending restricted free agents. Plus, Patricia Traina of Locked On Giants stops by to talk Dalvin Tomlinson. Finally, Danielle Hunter's malcontent has hit the mainstream media. So let's talk about the situation and what it means. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Free agency (technically tampering but whatever) is off, and the Vikings have been active. They brought back Rashod Hill, likely using some weird cap stuff, which I'll explain in this episode. I'll also talk about Nick Vigil and Dalvin Tomlinson, the Vikings' newest additions. What's the point of Dalvin Tomlinson if the Vikings already have Michael Pierce? What can double-nose provide the Vikings? Plus some rumor roundup and a mailbag! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The Vikings are clearing a lot of space on the eve of Free Agency. They restructured Anthony Barr and slashed two years off of his deal. Also, we're resetting Mock Draft Monday!

On today's show, we'll talk about Britton Colquitt taking a pay cut to stay with the team. We also have had some rumors hit the mill lately, so we'll round those up and chat about it. A couple things I haven't gotten to that I'd like to - how do salary incentives work? Do they count before or after the incentive is hit, and how does that all come together? Also, we'll talk about the free agent safeties, including Anthony Harris, and what the Vikings can do at the position. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
