The NFL calendar is used to June and about 11 Minnesota Vikings players from the Squad 2024 have not signed with new teams.
A un shortounced Vikings starter from the past seasons could end with the New Orleans Saints. Yes, them.
Men such as Stephon Gilmore, Shaquill Griffin and Dalton Risner Leiden demonstrably the road per name recognition, but defending Tackle Jonathan Bullard is also unemployed.
However, that could change quickly, because Bullard will meet the New Orleans Saints this week.
Dt Jonathan Bullard Auditions for Saints
ESPNs Mike -Schops Tweeded Monday morning: “The saints organize veteran DL Jonathan Bullard today during a visit, says Source. A starter in the past three seasons with the Vikings, Bullard has history with Brandon Staley, because the two were together in 2017-18 with the bears.”
The defense of New Orleans is in 19th place By EPA/Play Last season we hope to improve it in 2025 with new head coach Kellen Moore in the saddle.
Jonathan Bullard’s term of office with Vikings
Bullard joined the schedule of Minnesota at the start of the Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and Kevin O’Connell era. At that time he felt like a depth addition in 2022, but the man became a bit of a mainstay in three defenses led by Ed Donatell (2022) and Brian Flores (2023, 2024).
All in all, Bullard started 38 competitions for the Vikings, which participated in a total of 46, while he tabulates 108 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 6 Quarterback -hits and 3 bags. Bullard specializes in stopping the run more than putting pressure on Quarterbacks, which could become his mission in New Orleans.
Bullard posted a 56.1 Pro Football Focus Score in 2024.
The potential suitable for saints
The saints have many defensive tackles on the current 90-man roster, so adding bullard should compete for a selection place in September.
These are New Orleans DTS from 2 June:
- Bryan Bresee
- Of that Godchaux
- Khalen Saunders
- Nathan Shepherd
- John Ridgeay III
- Vernon Broughton
- Khristian Boyd
- Omari Thomas
On the basis of the group, Bullard would probably be in the driver’s seat to check in as DT3 or DT4 – probably why the saints organize him in the first place.
Purpteptsd on Bullard
Kyle Joudry on our sister site, Purpleptsd.comProfile Bullard last month and a possible reunion in Minnesota made to measure.
He wrote“Yes, the DT room looks pretty busy, but you wonder if the respected veteran is still finding to Minnesota.”
“Bullard herinnert een van een waardevolle bottom-six vooruit in hockey. De man doet veel kleine dingen goed: hij is sterk op de voorecheck, kan boetes doden, de handschoenen laten vallen en zelfs een puck in het net in het net zetten. In de voetbal, dat betekent dat het opsporen van blokkers, een bewaker terug op zijn haken, klimmende lanen, klimmende lanen, kloppende lanen, en zelfs het hakken van de Quarterback. “
Bullard will be 32 in October.
Joudrry concluded: “Don’t be surprised if Jonathan Bullard is the first phone call from Minnesota if there is an injury to one of the best defensive tackles. The DT2 lower whelping would be a strong DT4 or DT5.”
New York Jets an option?
If Bullard the Bottom Line from New Orleans does not register, the jets can also be an option.
Si.com’s Patrick Mcavoy wrote In May: “The New York Jets have kept their plans out of season so far, but have done a good job by adding talent to the organization. However, they have finished making additions, now the jets have more than $ 27 million in CAP space, per over the cap.”
“Bullard is 31 years old and is a nine-year-old National Football League veteran. He was selected with the number 72 general choice in the third round of the 2016 NFL design by the Chicago Bears. Bullard spent the first three seasons of his career in Cheatinals, Seattle, spent time [Seahawks]Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings. He spent the last three years with the Vikings. ‘
Whichever team Bullard lands, will achieve its services at an affordable rate. He will not break the bank.
Mcavoy added: “Last year he had one bag, 41 total tackles, seven tackles for loss and three quarterback hits in 17 games played.”
Former Vikings security Robert Blanton also works in New Orleans as an assistant defending backs coach.
