That was quick.

Vikings fans said he is a good blocker,i think is confirmed today with this signing
4,65 mil for 2 years

 

[MadCardDisease]

Curious to see the financial details.

I too would like to see Dray back.

 

[Solar7]

Interesting. I wonder if this is as the starter, or depth, or what?

I'd still like to take a look at Brandon Myers, given his previous rapport with Palmer.

Keim likes to run two TE sets.

When healthy, Carlson is a solid all-around TE. One would imagine his contract is light in guaranteed money and earned in full if he meets playing time incentives.

He's gone...like a thief in the night

I'll bet you're right about the guaranteed $ being very small considering his past concussion problems. If he can stay on the field, it's a very good signing.

If he can stay on the field, it's a very good signing.

Let's not kid ourselves...IMO he's a marginal player, who might be as good as 40 other TEs in today's NFL after the top 5 or 6. Players like Carlson are a dime a dozen.

Even if they don't keep him around he will more than likely take a few months to make it out of the building, so he should be around regardless.

We must have a hook up on the big bubble helmets.

 

[Jay Cardinal]

He signed with Minnesota for 5 yr $25 million in 2012. So at least we paid less than his last contract.

We must have a hook up on the big bubble helmets.

This is how they'll suit up next season - in one of these:

(I think that's Kevin Kolb there.)

Low cost signing.Low risk.Why not?

Well, I think he's got much better hands than Housler, but he probably doesn't get open as much...That said, even if he only get's up 50% as much as Housler, he will increase the TE production by 100%, because he will drop far fewer passes.

I think Bruce is planning on running double TEs way more this year. They said they wanted cats that can block.

If he stays healthy, that's good value. If he continues with his health problems, he's the next Brinkley at that contract.

I think he is safe my friend.

He really is the only H-back type on the roster.

Betty White has better hands than Housler.

Dray is NOT on the roster.

 

[Buckybird]

Dray is NOT on the roster.

Even better cause I always thought he was trash

Good # 2 Guy. Now we need a #1.
