    Just 200 or so days until next season. Thank God for the NFL, giving me some kind of meaning in my life since 2013.

    And the Vikings have re-signed Sendejo, ****ing brilliant. I guess it is only fair to the 31 other teams that they have to pair the best safety in the league in Harrison Smith with the worst. Judging from Zimmer's comments though I am hopeful they go and get a new starting safety in FA or in the draft.

    And they didn't do that. Drafted a safety almost like an afterthought in the 7th round who will probably struggle to make the final roster anyway. Tbf to them though I reckon they wanted safety in the first round but Raiders took Joseph a lot earlier than most people were expecting and then Neal went to the Falcons before the Vikings pick and the drop off in talent at the position was big from Joseph to Neal and then huge between Neal and the rest. Happy enough with Treadwell, didn't like the Alexander pick in the 2nd round but having read more about him I don't mind it so much now. The most annoying thing was the 2 players I wanted the most in the later rounds (Bilings and Westermann) both went to the Bengals the pick straight after the Vikings pick. But oh well, overall pretty happy with the draft haul they got and hopefully they can retain the NFC North and finally win a ****ing play off game.

    Oh the drama you all missed. There was a huge debate over who to select number one and the new Dolphins LT falling halfway down the First Round because of a social media snafu/character asassination.

    Good story and he has all the intangibles needed to make it. Personally think he will make the final roster as the 5th wide receiver over Thielen. The Vikings won't be able to put him on the practice squad as, because of his size and speed, another team would take a chance on him imo. Doubt he plays much this year apart from on special teams, but would be great if he can contribute and turns into an NFL receiver

    OTA offseason workouts for all the teams wrap up this week. They gives the media and fans a first look at the new signings and rookies, both drafted and undrafted.

    It also gives the disgruntled players with enough seniority the chance to not appear to draw attention to their monetary demands.

    QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, last year's NY Jets starter, remains a free agent. Only the Jets have expressed any real interest in signing him. They can't agree on terms and the discussions have become publicized. Very rare that the details are made this public. They dance around with neither side willing to take the extra step of concession.
