Yeah, I guess I didn't mean they should sign Bozeman as much as they need to sign somebody because, like you said, there a bunch of starting C in FA right now.

That was the previous regime. The GM and Head Coach were hired in 2022 after Fields was drafted. Not to say they dont have interest but it was Spielman and Zimmer that supposedly liked Fields in 2021.
Vikings Tried to Trade to Pick Fields, Panthers Refused
In this weekend's Hot Clicks: The Vikings' low-ball trade offer to draft Justin Fields, professional tag and more.www.si.com
I could find many more links talking about Slater.
Cousins just threw for 35 TD's and 107 and 105 QB ratings in 2019 and 2020. Then threw for 33Td's and 103 QB rating in 21'.
LT made way more sense.
Anyway who cares.
No way does Fields go to Minny.
If Oregon offensive tackle Penei Sewell is still available at No. 7 overall, by all means, the Vikings would offer up a bevy of picks to get this year’s top tackle.
Realistically, the Vikings are vying for Northwestern tackle Rashawn Slater, per KFAN’s Paul Allen, and have put in plenty of work scouting Slater this offseason.
What Would it Cost the Vikings to Trade Up For Penei Sewell or Rashawn Slater?
Rick Spielman got an up-close look at Sewell at Oregon's pro day on Friday.

I did that in my second post and you started talking about salad dressing.
You asked what he meant instead of just saying what he meant because it wasn't on the topic you set? What?
I realize this discussion has been dumb for awhile, and that is as much my fault as yours, but that just doesn't make any sense.

He's good but 95 MM almost fully guaranteed at his age is insane.

Seems like the Chargers would be a great fit for him.ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reports the Chargers, Ravens, and Bears are believed to be serious suitors for RB Saquon Barkley. He is expected to get a deal in the $10 million range.
NFL scouts and executives predict Saquon Barkley's next deal
Barkley is set to become a free agent for this first time in his career, likely signaling the end of an era in New York.www.espn.com
I’d love him on the Bears but a lot more money is the only thing that’ll bring him to CHI over SD lol

Yeah, if the Chargers are in on him and with how much Harbaugh really runs the ball, I can see them just willing to pay more to get it done.
Also, minor quibble...the Chargers are in LA now, not SD....

Chargers still have a negative $20m cap situation. Will have to cut people anyway, but not a great spot for them to sign anyone really.

What is Mack's worth in FA. I'd love to see him back

Oh wow, didn't realize that. I guess that explains the talk of offloading Mack and Bosa.

He's still under contract. I think he'd cost about $17m if traded for.

Not right this minute. But a few cuts or trades and then be just fine I’m sure. They have so many monster contracts.

Yeah Mike Williams is gone for sure.
Just saying they aren't in a great position to be handing out more big deals. Herbert's deal hasn't really even kicked in yet.

back in duh day Khalil Mack had to love his chances for a legit shot at a ring. Line up opposite Bosa with one of the best young qb's in the league running the offense.
the Chargers were STACKED . . . little did he know

My favorite teams
Yeah like i said some posts back, there's a lot of variables to why the market isn't hot for Fields and this is another one.

chargers are fine after navigating this year...bosa and williams are goners one way or another and they will have 10-15 mill in space.

Sure but your statement acted as if Slater was the only option. That is not true. They were rumored to be interested in Fields and Slater and neither of us knows which rumor is true.

Saquon Barkley stats:
I don't know if that screams $10M+/yr to me considering all the other needs on the team. Seems like it would be a luxury signing, but maybe paired with Williams they can both do well.

Eagles, Bills, Chargers...can't afford these players due to their QB's large contracts?

That's definitely a part of the equation for sure. I think all 3 teams paid out a lot of contracts to make a Superbowl run and obviously it didn't work out. So, they are targeting shedding the big contracts of older guys that are either starting to fall off or that they think will soon fall off on performance vs cap hit. Or in some cases like Bosa, a guy that just cannot ever seem to stay healthy.
