    Amazing college teams just keep producing kickers left and right but we are using this guy? Penn State's kicker had 13 touch backs yesterday and kicked a 53 yarder

    The Vikings have to stop stealing players from us, it doesn't end well for them.

    Vedvik is absolute trash. He's not the answer at kicker. But can't complain since it's a free pickup. But we're at the bottom of the barrel here

    No point in stressing it, but I wonder if Douglas was already in place before Maccagnan let Myers walk, would he have paid him?

    Good question. We will never know. I never had complete faith in Myers, but he clearly is better than what the Jets have had this year since they let him walk in March.

    After 1 good year. 4 years 15.45 million for an unproven kicker...I think a lot of GM's would've just walked away from that. Who knows what Douglas would've done

    Nobody here was a fan of Folk, Catanzaro, and Myers when we brought all 3 in, but all 3 were good for us.

    Clearly don't know much about Vedvik, but I seem to recall a few members here were strongly supporting bringing him in as a top choice before Minnesota traded for him. I sincerely hope they were dead right

    He was a stud with the Ravens and Bertolet with the Vikings. I have no idea what we are getting.

    If Ficken is still available I'd like to see the Jets pick him up too. I don't think anyone has a "lock" on the kicking job yet.

    The contract isn't really the issue, as usual its the guaranteed money and no team is offering every down key position player type guarantees for a kicker. They should have signed him and if he crapped out they could have just cut him with little loss. It was yet another dumb Mac move.

    Good stuff. Can I ask if you can get a Viking funeral one for Vedvik? :)
