Vedvik released by Vikings

Feel genuinely bad for the player tbh. Yeah, it's kind of funny, but I wanted him to succeed.


Do you know if you guys get to keep the draft pick or not?

I know when my Jags traded a 6th (i think it was a 6th) for Kessler there was a clause that he had to be active/on the roster for like 6 games or we didn't have to give up the pick. Just wondering if it's something similar in this trade, considering it's only been a few weeks lol.

Dude I felt the same way, slightly funny because it’s like a free pick.

But in the same respect, I hate to see anyone fail.

As big of a leg as he had, maybe pressure was his flaw, and as a kicker that’s a huge negative.

Also, out of all the “keeps” & “cuts”, only one that really surprised me was letting go of Willie Henry. Felt like he was really solid depth on the interior dline.

What’s your opinion Terps?

Was there another player that bubbled him out?

Honestly, I think the Vikings just handle kickers very poorly. At some point, you have to look at all the kickers they've ruined and point to the coaching staff. Mike Zimmer himself sounds like a real shit-head whenever he talks about kickers, throwing them under the bus all of the time and acting like kicking is super easy, so if you can't do it there's something wrong with you. I mean, maybe Vedvik wasn't great, but he sure as hell wasn't this bad.

I think you mentioned it: Willie Henry. We don't have much interior pass-rush, so to let him go was surprising. But he was very quiet in TC and preseason so... maybe injuries have ruined him. Guess they'll be depending more on Ricard and McPhee in that role. Intrigued to see what Ricard can do tbh.

Zach Sieler was the only other cut who I thought might make it, since we literally have Wormley and no one else at 5-tech, but Sieler was pretty bad in preseason after looking decent last year. Hope he makes the PS.

Who we kept was actually more surprising to me: Iman Marshall and Justin Bethel. Marshall was injured all preseason it seemed, and he's a rookie, so I thought he'd be a prime IR candidate. Bethel I thought was a sure-fire cut, since we would have recouped a 7th round compensatory pick with the cut, and I doubt any other teams would have claimed him on waivers anyway. Could have re-signed Bethel after week 1 after IR'ing someone like Marshall (so that he can be eligible to return from IR).

Completely forgot about Marshall, definitely a surprising keep.

I figured the same as you, getting placed on the IR.

I can kind of understand keeping Bethel considering Harbs is a ST guy, I feel like he has a slight soft spot for ST talent.

Oh Harbaugh definitely overvalues ST. We let go of John Simon prematurely simply because he wasn't great at ST. What a dumb mistake that turned out to be. I mean Simon wasn't a phenom or anything, but he would have been a good player on a rookie contract.

Bethel was a dumb signing any way you slice it. You don't need a dedicated ST player THAT badly...

Just came up with the name "Dicks Out For McSorley" for my irl fantasy league team (everyone is a Ravens fan so they should get it)
