His last Pro Bowl season was 2020. He had serious injuries in 2021 and 2022. Hasn't been the same player since. He's only started 17 games over the last 4 seasons.

Exactly. Some of the articles are making this out to be a bigger deal for the Vikings than it really is.

At this point, the Packers really could use a big body in the middle to really, really plug it up there, and Vea would fit the bill. But do you really want to give up draft capital and that much cap money for a guy who is primarily a run-stuffer now? I dunno.

He does offer some pass rush but it’s gonna be a premium price.

Kyle Shanahan got into a car accident where he broke his hand and three ribs, his nose and had lacerations that required 40 stitches. He also suffered a severe concussion. He's in the coaches version of the concussion protocol and his wife (?!) was calling team leaders to give them the news just prior to camp. Which is kinda funny (and I don't mean witty) since Kyle has supposedly been in the building since the accident.

The other driver got away injury free. The police say its not their policy to announce fault in the accident. Drugs and alcohol were ruled out. The accident occurred July 14 and broke yesterday, the day of a John Lynch PC. Which means a LOT of people sat on this report. And I don't just mean scoopsters beholden to GM sources, but all media and all law enforcement folks, which is rare. Even TMZ didn't break it.

The accident was public record, though I have not been clever enough to decipher which entry it was. https://data.ca.gov/dataset/ccrs/res...nner_span=True

SI has a write-up. Shanny was written up in the report (not cited) for holding his cell phone while driving. And the other driver, the uninjured one, crossed into his lane. Both contradict the statement he made yesterday.
