We don't really have one of these yet, so figured we could use this as a place to discuss potential free agent acquisitions and what we would like to look for them to bring in.
If any of you guys are interested, heres a good place to do some research.

And I'm sure Spags. The defense was a total dumpster fire and needs a total rebuild. I'm all for it. [Reply]

I mean we were literally a few inches from going to the Super Bowl. How the hell would that not be the case?
The #Vikings have received calls from teams interested in trading for former first-round CB Trae Waynes, sources say. His fifth-year option just became fully guaranteed, so Minnesota won’t cut him. But there is interest.

People thought it was all Sutton. I tried to tell everybody the talent wasn’t there either. But hey, everybody gets what they want in the end. They’re ALL gone. [Reply]

Which was a Sutton issue, not the roster.
We went from:
Bailey/Nnadi/Chris Jones
Houston/Hitchens/Ragland/Ford
Fuller/Berry/Sorensen/Nelson/Scandrick
To:
Speaks/Jones/Nnadi/Tanoh
Damien Williams/Hitchens/O’daniel
Fuller/Honey Badger/Sorenson/Ward
And you’re telling me the difference is gonna be made up in one draft? 2019 was our year to win, why hard rebuild rn? All he had to do was hire a competent DC, cut Houston and sign Badger. Right there’s enough to win a SB. [Reply]

Or maybe he’s just not willing to risk our future to go all in for one year when we can potentially build something that keeps our window open for longer. [Reply]

Trying to keep oft-injured guys like Ford and Berry and hoping they can produce commensurate with their price tags is a lot more risky to 2019. [Reply]

Mahomes being on a rookie contract vs. Mahomes being on a $200 million contract changes that window. [Reply]
