Vikings rumors for Sunday July 6
It’s all about Greg Newsome II, Donovan Jackson and Rasul Douglas.
Rumor: The Vikings can play a trade for Cleveland Browns Cornerback Greg Newsome II.
Greg Newsome II is actually casually linked to Vikings A few Times out of season this season. Cleveland may not have the CAP space to extend his contract after 2025.
CBS Sports came this week with the Newsome II -Valshoek, such as Cody Benjamin wrote”Why it makes sense: Minnesota has spent big to tackle both trenches out of season this season, but one non-quarterback place that misses top-end answers is the secondary, now without veteran starters such as Stephon Gilmore and Camryn Bynum.”
“Thinking managing manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah was in the Front Office of Browns when Cleveland spent a first-rounder on Newsome in 2021, and at only 25 the former northwestern highlight has the advantage of becoming an option in the longer term for the defense of Brian Flores.”
Vikings General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah worked in the Front Office of Browns when Cleveland Newsome II prepared in 2021.
“Why would the browns give up such a young chess piece? Despite his concept reputation, news in 2024 only succeeded in three starts in the unit of Jim Schwartz and he entered a contract year,” Benjamin concluded.
This rumor is really useful for the Vikings and must be checked up to the November Handelsdeadline.
Rumor: Donovan Jackson is on a solid track to start week 1.
Minnesota pulled Jackson out of round 1 in April and he is refreshing on pace to start. A Lewis Cine situation can be avoided.
ESPN’s Kevin Seifert wrote this week”It is difficult for an offensive Lineman to stand out in no contact practices, so the most important development for Jackson is that he worked with the first team at the left guard for most spring practices. Part of it can be attributed to the right guard of the current recovery of a broken right leg.”
“Blake Brandel, last season’s starter at Left Guard and Jackson’s primary competition at that position, has filled in for fries on the right. But there is every reason to believe that Jackson has the inside to get out of the training camp.”
It is not necessarily news, but fans should be as an immediate starter in Jackson pencil. It might be strange if he didn’t do that, based at his momentum after the Draft,
Rumor: Rasul Douglas would be useful as a free agent for the secondary of the Vikings.
Fans debate whether the Vikings need another cornerback from the caliber. It is the only observed weak spot on the depth card.
National NFL media seem to agree because Bleacher report Recently the awards and Cornerback Rasul Douglas joined Cornerback as a free-agent that is suitable for Minnesota.
BR’s Matt Holder noticed“In the NFC North, the Vikings continue to use some help in their secondary after they have decided not to bring Stephon Gilmore back. Jeff Okudah and Isaiah Rodgers are currently expected to start at the border, but those two were backups with the Houston Texans and Philadelphia Eagles, respectively, last season.
“However, he comes from one of the worst years of his career without picks and only five pass-break-ups, which is bound for a personal layer and the second one of his career, respectively. The former Buffalo Bill also allowed a 123.7 passer-by-rating when directed and placed a 58.9 cover of the number of 58.9 last season, and the number of last season last season, and the number of last season last season, and the figure last season, and the figure of the number, and the number of 58.9 last season. Douglas is available. “
The 2024 campaign from Douglas was not so good, but he was a credible starter for that.
“Yet many teams could use some help at Cornerback and they would benefit from at least in training camp,” Holder added.
Non-Douglas Free agent options at Cornerback are Mike Hilton, Asante Samuel Jr., Stephon Gilmore and Jack Jones.
