Glad that Purdy contract is done and the Warner extension is being worked on. I hope Lynch bring in a veteran to compete/fill in our LG position. How about a guy like Risner? What about Scherff who is still sitting out there and is 33. He played all the games for Jacksonville the last 3 years, ok in run blocking but didn't give up any sacks in pass blocking last year. Both shouldn't cost too much short term, maybe a 1-2 year deal and allow the kids to develop.
My guess is they are happy going forward with what they have right now. Risner supposedly wants $2.5M guaranteed and is willing to wait into the season.
Honestly, as I've seen nearly every Vikings game the past 15 yrs, as my late Dad was a huge Vikings fan, Risner was with them last 2yrs, he's not that good, Vikings fans are happy they moved on from him, he struggled in MIN, it's have to be literally no GTD money for me to sign off on that, if Scherff is healthy, I'd say sign him, let him compete.
