Honestly I don't see why we wouldnt pick up urlacher for a year or to. Even if we get some someone like ogletree or minter he would be a perfect mentor and wouldn't hurt the cap could go one more year without a DL but the fact remains our CBs cant get the jjob done.

In & subbed.
I've always wondered how the London fixture works? Is it a voluntary move from the clubs or do the NFL simply allocate the games to whoever they choose? Also, do the teams who play in London benefit financially?
We have similar types of fixtures in Australian sport where a team will voluntarily play in a different city, region or even overseas in order to try and tap into a new market & advertise their brand.
The draw is that they're heavily compensated by sponsors & the league. It's often a ploy used by sports team who are financially struggling as a way to boost their revenue.
Given that there's only 8 home games a yr (+ 2 pre season home games), it's fairly big sacrifice for any NFL team to make. If I were a local fan, it'd definitely p*ss me off.Minnesota Vikings

I think the league is in charge of scheduling so I don't think they get a lot of choice. Not sure if there is really any financial benefit because the teams will be losing money on ticket sales and revenue from having a home game. There may be some compensation to make up the difference but I don't think they benefit financially from playing in London. I think it's just more of a promo thing that all teams have agreed to participate in in order to expand the international market.

Thinking about possible FA signings I starting to think the Vikes are done for the year with any meaningful signings. I'd to see Dansby but I don't see the Vikes having cap space for him. So I think the most likely situation has the Vikes taking a MLB in the draft and they'll be the day 1 starter.
I like Kevin Minter the best as I've said, I think he's London Fletcher type. I also like Ogletree who is probably the best overall athlete in the MLB group. I think either of the two would be good picks in the 1st round.
I like Te'o and Kevin Reddick as 2nd rounders. Te'o is likely to be a early to mid 2nd round pick and Reddick mid to late 2nd round.
I was hoping to have a vet in there but I think if we have to roll with a rookie I'd probably take Minter over anyone because I think he's most ready to start.Vikings--Wolves-Gophers
