Reiff #2 on my personal "Big Board" LT's out there, behind Whitworth and ahead of Beachum...
Just not sure if the Vikes view him as a LT or RT, and that may depend if they can get someone else....
I'm really wondering if they start talks w/ Beachuma and then get in a bidding war on Okung to drive interest down on Beachum and come back to him...let someone else overpay for Okung and perhaps get Beachum for cheap and then let both of them battle it out over LT/RT spots w/ Rashod Hill and a 2017 drafted rookie OT....

Curious to know what the numbers are on Reiff....somewhat afraid to look at what the overpay was considering what Kalil got in Carolina...

....but, if Reiff plays LT, it could be a bargain. I realize they kicked Reiff over to RT last year, but Reiff was playing at a league-avg level at LT - which is higher than what Kalil gave us in 2013, 2014 & 2015. So even though Reiff is not a Top 10 LT in the NFL, or perhaps not a Top 15, he's probably in that 15-20 area, which is an upgrade over Kalil who I would put in the 25-30 range.
Still wondering on Beachum as a possibility...perhaps Beachum at RT instead of LT since Beachum isn't quite as "big" as a traditional LT (Beachum is only 6'2", or 6'3" depending on which website you look at).
I'm really not interested in Clady - just a walking injury waiting to happen. I'd rather roll w/ a rookie over him - just for the thought that a rookie has a stronger possibility of playing all 16 games.
Also, didn't the Eagles only have $10m in cap entering today? I know they released DE C Barwin, but he couldn't have saved them too much and the signed Jeffrey for $14m for 2017...they can't have any cap space left and they'll have to dump somebody....I'm really thinking they have to dump J Kelce, who I think could be a nice pickup for our interior line...

If we can solidify one side of the line, that would be a plus. Last year you did not know where the sack was coming from. Left right middle, If you know where they need to boltster the line the better

Thank God! This was my #1 target in FA, and I've been looking forward to the day he'd hit FA since the day the Vikes screwed up and drafted Kalil's worthless ass instead! This will go a long ways towards making the O decent again!

Career baseline's probably higher but he's trending in the wrong direction.
