I would say if Kalil re signs there is a very good chance the Vikings land a big FA Olineman I hope you are right, but I'm afraid it means it is less likely. I'm not happy about this. I'm with P1 - Think this virtually assures the Vikings will land one of the big name FA's on the Right side.

I haven't seen this reported anywhere else yet btw so it may be a case of premature speculation.

I'll be disappointed if they resign Kalil. The guy is nothing but a taker...What has he given us? Other than a 11 million dollar screwing last year.

I don't like this. Maybe we can trade for Thomas and move Kalil to RT. We need to do more to improve this line. We have to do this but I still say yucky.

Rick has to know this team will only go as far as a solid o-line will allow us, compared to last year. Now is not the time to play it safe. We need capable bodies on the line.

Kalil was supposed to be an athletic finesse LT that excelled in pass blocking. Obviously he is anything but that. Kalil has never been a dominant run blocker. RTs are usually road grader types whose feet aren't nimble enough to pass block elite speed rushers consistently. That is the typical flaw that makes a tackle play on the right side rather than protecting the QBs blind side at LT.
Kalil has played at a back up level since his rookie year. Even if we bring in a top RT having Kalil on the left side will be a glaring weakness. I cant believe we are going with the status quo at LT again. Hope this isn't true.

I may just be ignorant... but I don't recognize the "handle" of the person who tweeted (?) this info. Anyone know if they are reliable?

I will be happy if AD comes back sorry..... I will also be happy if he heads over to New England and picks up a ring.... Odds are pretty good I will be happy I'll say this, if AD is in NE and they find themselves in the SB again and their opponent is not us, I'll root for NE for the first time... It will make me cheer against them even more than usual, if that is even possible.
