Everyone relax. The Vikings have used up all their other cap space on Kyle Rudolph.

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet
On the 4-year, $36M extension the #Vikings & TE Kyle Rudolph agreed to last night that accomplished his ultimate goal of staying in Minnesota: Rudolph gets $1.625M additional this year added to his $7.625M base, per source. $9M fully guaranteed in all. $16.025 in total guarantes.

Actually, they're reporting that it gives the Vikings about 4 million more in cap space in 2019. The question is whether he'll be a Viking after 2019. They must have lowered his base this year and given him a signing bonus. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...m-in-cap-space

That isn't nearly as much fun as my version.

It Could Be Worse Department, Texans.

Not excited about silos or the triumvirate of accountability? Still might be better than having an Executive for Team Development fire your GM after a 17 month tenure.

To be fair, there are several possible scenarios, including the Head Coach and the owners son activating the trap door. But one of the most connected beat guys, Lance Zierlein, thinks it was this guy, Jack Easterby. He was formerly the Chiefs chaplain and seems to be some kind of leadership coach.

Weird. Hard to dissect what's going on there, except it seems they wanted more offseason action. This was interesting:

Wanna trade for like, Jason Spriggs? Make some sort of godfather offer for Laremy Tunsil? Start throwing random late-round picks around for depth guys you think have a chance ala Chris Myers way back in the day? Every NFL team needs cornerbacks and no NFL team has three good offensive tackles.

NFL teams are run a lot like governments in Mel Brooks movies.

It could always be worse.

10% of the decision should be made by an internet fan poll.

After all, we know that rookie QBs start because the fans demand it.

Unfortunate news: The overnight, rollover crash involving Dolphins DL Kendrick Norton resulted in paramedics having to amputate his left arm at the scene, multiple sources tell me.

Paramedics amputating on scene?! Wtf?!

I would guess that it means the arm was trapped and severely damaged and this was the only way to extract him and save is life.

[Cheesehead Craig]

That's brutal.

Sounds about right. Amputation kind of out of scope for a medic.
