The Minnesota Vikings won’t be in a hurry to trade one of their CBs. Holton Hill is suspended for 4 games for PED use. Their 2018 1st round pick Mike Hughes is coming off a torn ACL injury. The Vikings have over $5.2 M of cap space so they would like to improve, but have some money.
Once preseason is over and they see where they are at with Mike Hughes's injury, Kris Boyd’s development, and Mackensie Alexander’s continued growth, they might consider a trade.
Trading Trae Waynes would save Minnesota $9,069,000 against the cap. Trading Xavier Rhodes would save them $10,937,500 with $2,400,000 of dead money. Trading 2016 2nd round pick Mackensie Alexander would save $1,038,587 with $334,783 of dead money.
If Rhodes or Waynes are not available for trade, perhaps Minnesota would consider trading Alexander. [Reply]
Don’t we have around 25mil. I’m fine with a rental as long as it’s for a 5th round pick. Based on the contract and rental status I doubt they do better. No one is trading for him and signing a long term deal until they see how he does this year. Offer a 5th, if they say no then oh well. Jones contract isn’t gonna hurt the cap that bad this year. You usually like to have 4-5mil at least during the season. Veach should be looking to help the either LB or DB with a rental [Reply]

I don't really see the point in just holding on to so much cap space. Extend Hill and/or Jones if you're not going to address cornerback [Reply]

I think it's there because they want the option to address CB, as much as some people don't like Trae Waynes, he would give the Chiefs a lot of depth at the position. [Reply]
#Vikings CB Holton Hill has been suspended without pay for an additional four games during the 2019 regular season for violating the NFL’s policy and program on substances of abuse. Already was out 4 games for violating PED policy. So now will miss first 8 games.
