Hockenson traded to the Vikings

[ColoradoBills]

Vikings had a decision on paying Irv Smith next year or TJ.  Smith is a shorter/lighter TE and the Vikes new GM/HC must want more size

from the position.  While it's a good move to have both for the rest of the season, I think this is more of a futures move.

Vikings now have a stud RB, WR, TE, and above average QB.  Also a very good D.  They made a move to put themselves in position to win now and later.   Unclear why we didn’t try to swing this.  

Why would we trade for a TE? That would be idiotic.

These franchises are just strange. 

 

You're out there with Jared Goff expecting to win. 

 

The Panthers are there with Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield firing their Coach. 

 

I think the Lions should go full Lions and just hire Brad Childress, or Adam Gase, maybe bring back Jim Caudwell again. 

 

 

 

 

Hockenson doesn't move the needle for them at all IMO. 

 

He's 50 yards per game.

Amazing the Vikings make a move and it looks like again Beane will do nothing like the previous two seasons.  Last year the Rams made moves to put them over the top and we stood around and did nothing.  There are plenty of guys available that could help improve in various positions,  to not get at least one is so disappointing.

Bluster isnt a real culture tho. Theyre finding out the hard way.

Nice move for the Vikings, but surprised the Lions dealt within their division.

 

Either way just happy these type of players are ending up on the Chiefs right now but still time for them to make a power move....

Great trade for Minnesota

Hockensen is basically Dawson Knox 

 

There is no point unless you wanna run a 2TE offense

That is the point. People believe the Bills wanted to run 2 TE base this year. There is some talk of going after Noah Fant from local media people.

Ha!   Funny to look back on that.

 

I heard on WGR this morning that Knox is 35th in the NFL among tight ends for # of targets.

No. We barely use one TE. What would be the point of having two? We aren't going to change our offense mid-season.

Vikings going for it. I like it. A lot.

Very interesting move but I will never believe in a team lead by Kirk Cousins. Bills by 24 in November.

I’d buy real low on fant.

We did major move well ahead of everybody, by adding Von Miller. There is a reason why we are the biggest SB favorites, and that won't change after McCaffrey, Toney, Quinn, Smith and Hockenson moves.

While I know there was talk about 2TE sets OJ Howard being released ended that experiment. Hockinson is better than OJ but will need to be paid next year. Knox was given the extension and I can't see Beane paying 2 TE's top 10 money. Solid move for Minnesota but not a move that would help Buffalo right now.
