2022 Off season news, notes, and other chat worthy things for the other 31 NFL Teams (Training camp news as well)

The Minnesota Vikings are holding their rookie minicamp this weekend, and they have already made at least one roster decision, Larry Brown of Larry Brown Sports reports.

Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Hundley attended the minicamp as a tryout player. His time in Minnesota will be brief.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press’ Chris Tomasson says the Vikings will be cutting Hundley.

Hundley was a fifth-round pick by the Packers in 2015. He saw his most extensive NFL action in 2017, when he went 3-6 over nine games starting in place of the injured Aaron Rodgers. The 28-year-old has appeared in 18 career NFL games and thrown for 9 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.

One and done for Drew Brees at NBC

Drew Brees was just too damn short to be a starting caliber NFL analyst.

Not sure what NBC was thinking.

Are you saying that there is a former Packer that the Vikings do not want???

The #Falcons signed former #Packers and #Lions WR Geronimo Allison, who was recently in camp on a tryout basis.

We should bring him back to GB. He could probably win the #3 job behind Rodgers and Benkert

Sucks for Cohen. Achilles. You can hear it pop.

Unfortunate news for former #Bears RB Tarik Cohen, who appeared to suffer a significant injury while training on IG Live

That's horrible.  Gotta feel for the guy.  He did a ton of damage to his knee and was working on coming back.  There was a story on him on local radio about the injury and his family and career.  Good guys sometimes lose.

Not knowing in the inner workings of individual’s decisions and all the financial details involved in the decision making processes, it would seem like the idea of playing in GB isn’t overly appealing to a lot of WR’s. Could be $, could be something with AR, could be family things with the player in question. Who knows.

I’m personally of the opinion that the idea of playing up in Northern WI doesn’t appeal to a ton of guys. Before you try and destroy me, remember it’s just an opinion, but IF GB was an option for any of these WR, then there’s definitely been a trend not to choose GB, ie. Adams (some will say proximity to family) , OBJ, Landry (is from La). I just think playing GB doesn’t trump all these other factors.

I don't understand why more players won't want to come and play for Green Bay.   It was just named the 3rd best place to live in the USA.

Don't know if this was posted previously, but if you haven't read his "Letter to My Younger Self," it's well worth your time. Linky.

Tragedy stalks some people, and it's definitely following Cohen... 

Thanks for posting that.

Giants sign Henry Black.

We have competition for the LS position.

I want everyone everywhere to know this is not true!

Wisconsin sucks - it's cold and buggy and rude and backward and if you ain't from around here and the taxes and the cost of everything and there's nothing to do and people fish on ice, ICE!, and ...   stay far away, it's pure hell.

(this msg brought to you by the consortium to not get overrun here, and the Don't Promote Wisconsin Club of ... Nevermind)

The greatest  thing about  ice fishing is there are no mosquitoes, until at least late March.    Oh, and all ice fisherman are God. They can walk on water.

Admit it, most of you think Henry looks just like that.

Well he sure as hell doesn't look like Ann-Margret.

I can assure you, he’s closer to Walter Matthau.

Goldie goes Cuckoo for Coco in 3... 2...

Ty Montgomery is now with the Patriots. 

He hasn't been able to get more than 200 yards total from scrimmage in the last 4 years.  His best year was 2016 when he had 805 total yards from scrimmage.  After lasting 3.5 years with the Packers, he had a half year with the Ravens, one year with the Jets, and the last two years with the Saints. 

Clowney staying with Brownies

Signs a 1-year deal for $11 million.

Browns can have him. Horrible on setting an edge.

Looking at the available free agents, I think we stand pat.  JL was the only one I thought might be worth signing.

And you're Jack Lemmon?

Yes he is:

NFL to offer its own streaming site.

The NFL is entering the streaming arena.

LOL... I'll wait until it's the Sunday ticket or you can purchase individual games.

I would pay $5 per game instead of stealing it if they offered me that sale.

Yeah, I have zero qualms about violating some NFL copyright when they don't offer me a fair product.

Raiders have a new DLman!

In Las Vegas, Lancaster will be reunited with former Packers special teams coordinator Maurice Drayton.

(I will leave the link to someone else)

Drayton's employed in the NFL?

I guess I didn’t realize they were in need of a new janitor

Raiders giving Kaepernick a tryout. Packers should bring him in so the Vikes sign him instead.

I'll give Huntley credit, for a day 3 pick, the dude has carved out a journeyman career for himself.

Looks like we swapped coordinators. I think we may have gotten the better one.

agree!
