Today is a day off for most folks in the States, and while you’re just relaxing or spending a day with family and friends or whatever the case may be, I hope that you take a moment to think about what today signifies. I know that I certainly will be.This is going to be a bit of an abbreviated Open Thread, so let’s get to it.Here at DN over the weekendThere’s a new name in the mix at defensive tackle for the Minnesota Vikings, and he’s a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad Mata’afa. (Shut your mouth!)Apparently tight end David Morgan wants to be a model or something. We can help get him there.We’ve got a new episode of Climbing the Pocket for your listening pleasure.Assistant General Manager George Paton’s name has emerged as a candidate to take over the General Manager job with the New York J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets.Who should be the next member of the Vikings to go into the team’s Ring of Honor?Two future NFL Draft locations have been announced, and it looks like the Twin Cities are likely going to have to wait until at least 2024.Around the NFC NorthThe big story among NFC North teams from the weekend was the passing of legendary Green Bay Packers quarterback Bart Starr Garrett Bradbury Jersey Womens , who passed on Sunday at the age of 85. Our friends at Acme Packing Company have everything on that front for you.At Windy City Gridiron, they’re asking what the most embarrassing Bears jersey is to own. Apparently the correct answer is not “any of them.”While the Vikings are trying to figure out who their #3 receiver is, over at Pride of Detroit they’re trying to figure out who the #4 guy on the Lions’ receiver depth chart is.Today’s media selectionAgain, we all know the rules, but in case someone is newNo discussion of politics or religionNo feeding of the trollsThis isn’t a male version of The View, so leave the gender hatred at the doorKeep the bad language to a minimum (using the spoiler tags, if you must)Speaking of which, if discussing a newer show or movie Garrett Bradbury white jersey , please use spoiler tagsNo pictures that could get someone fired or in serious trouble with their employerIf you can’t disagree in a civil manner, feel free to go awayWhile navigating the open thread, just assume it’s sarcasm.With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open. Belly up & tie one on. The grill is going to be running all day long, and be careful with those lawn darts. Other than that, welcome aboard! Which could, potentially, complicate his remaining with the team"Since the conclusion of the 2019 NFL Draft Garrett Bradbury Minnesota Vikings Jerseys , the biggest topic of conversation surrounding the Minnesota Vikings has been the future of tight end Kyle Rudolph. Rudolph, who the Vikings selected in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft, is in the final year of his contract and carries a cap figure of $7.625 million. With the Vikings in need of salary cap space, doing something with Rudolph’s contract could be a way to open up some space.Given that Rudolph is in the last year of his deal, the team can’t simply restructure his contract, as they recently did with linebacker Eric Kendricks, to open up space. The paths they could take include releasing Rudolph, trading him Minnesota Vikings Jerseys Stitched , putting together a contract extension, or getting Rudolph to agree to a straight pay cut.On Thursday, Rudolph made it pretty clear that the last item on that list wasn’t an option in an interview with Sid Hartman of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.Throughout the offseason, Rudolph has made it pretty clear that he would like to work out an extension with the team, and an extension would certainly end up giving him more guaranteed money in the long-term than the $7.625 million that he would make if he just plays out his contract this year.The Vikings are still in need of salary cap space, even after getting all but one of their 2019 draft picks signed (and the one that isn’t signed isn’t going to affect their cap anyway). According to Over the Cap, the Vikings currently have just $1,129 Garrett Bradbury black jersey ,984 in available salary cap space, which is the second-lowest figure in the NFL. (Only the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have less.) The team is going to need to have something in reserve for the season because of injuries that will happen and other reasons, so they’re going to have to do something to free up some room.It certainly sounds like, as we’ve said all along, that Rudolph and the Vikings want to keep this relationship going for a ninth season. With another round of OTAs set to kick off on Tuesday, we’ll see if something shakes out before then.
