Sharrif Floyd is fighting to save his football career. The Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle has yet to recover from nerve damage that occurred during September surgery to repair the meniscus in his knee, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, via a source close to Floyd. The nerve that controls the quadriceps still isn't firing six months later. Although there's optimism that the nerve will eventually cooperate, Rapoport added, no one knows for sure. USA Today's Tom Pelissero first reported the lingering complications from Floyd's knee surgery. "Sharrif is rehabbing, has seen some of the best doctors in the country," agent Brian Mackler told Pelissero, "will continue to rehab and hopefully, this will heal sooner than later." Floyd alluded to the health issue last weekend, posting an Instagram message that indicated he is praying the "road doesn't end here." "Don't let me go out this way," Floyd continued. "... This game means so much to me and the foundation is still being laid one stone at a time. ... Grant me one last run, I promise I'll lay my soul on the line."
I read that to its looking bad it just might be over before it had chance to begin....will he be ready for training camp that is question? and can the Vikings count on you
Vikings bring in former Rams QB Case Keenum The Vikings have found insurance for Teddy Bridgewater at backup quarterback. Minnesota has agreed to terms with former Rams quarterback Case Keenum on a one-year, $2 million deal, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported, via a source informed of the details of the contract. Although Sam Bradford is locked in as the 2017 starter, Bridgewater remains a question mark as he works his way back from last summer's devastating knee injury. When asked earlier this week if Bridgewater will ever play again, coach Mike Zimmer replied, "I honestly have no idea." That being the case, Keenum will replace long-standing No. 2 QB Shaun Hill, who remains unsigned as a 37-year-old free agent.
Keenum; After entering last season as Los Angeles' starter, Keenum lost the job in response to long stretches of action without finding the end zone. By midseason, the undermanned Rams offense was the league's least efficient. Over 24 NFL starts and 26 appearances, Keenum has recorded a 58.4 completion rate, 24:20 TD-to-INT ratio and 78.4 passer rating. _____________________________ He has stunk as a starter, but he had little help. Hopefully, he's better as a back-up.
the Rams Offense last year was pretty bad as a back-up he just might be ok,as bad as the O-line was the Vikings Offense was better than the Rams we will see what we got when the pre-season starts....hope that Sam Bradford avoids the injury bug
Vikings Sign Punter Ryan Quigley... Quigley joins the Vikings having spent the first five years of his NFL career with the Cardinals (2016), Jets (2013-15) and Bears (2012). The Roselle, N.J., native has played in 51 career games while maintaining a 38.9 net punting average since entering the league in 2012. The Boston College product signed with the Bears as a rookie free agent after a prolific college career in which he left as the school?s all-time leader in career punts (284) for 11,418 yards.
Right he has had time... enough of the soap-box drama just can't get over the Ponder mess and how he just wasted AP,hey I want div.championships SB's i'm really getting tired of the same old same old Tricky Ricky

New additions This game will be the Bills first with Sean McDermott at the helm after six seasons as Panthers defensive coordinator. After leading the league in rushing yards per game, the Bills have brought in fullbacks Patrick DiMarco and Mike Tolbert. Buffalo also signed Green Bay defensive back Micah Hyde during free agency and added kicker Steven Hauschka. 3. Familiar faces Former Vikings Head Coach Leslie Frazier is in his first season as Bills defensive coordinator. Buffalo also has signed former Vikings Joe Banyard and Vladimir Ducasse in free agency. _______________________________________________________ At Seattle (10-5-1 in 2016), Preseason Week 2 (Aug. 18-20) 1. 2016 Rankings Offense: 357.2 yards/game (12th), 99.4 rushing yards/game (25th), 257.8 passing yards/game (10th), 22.1 points/game (tied for 18th) Defense: 318.7 yards allowed/game (fifth), 92.9 rushing yards allowed/game (7th), 225.8 passing yards allowed/game (8th), 18.3 points allowed/game (3rd) 2.

Heath Farwell, a former special teams ace for the Vikings and Seahawks, became a special teams assistant coach in Seattle last season, and kicker Blair Walsh headed west this February. 3. New to the mix The Seahawks struggled to fill Marshawn Lynch?s shoes and opted to sign former Packer Eddie Lacy during free agency. ____________________________________________ Vs. San Francisco (2-14 in 2016), Preseason Week 3 (7 p.m., Aug. 27)? 1. 2016 Rankings Offense: 308.1 yards/game (31st), 126.2 rushing yards/game (4th), 181.9 passing yards/game (32nd), 19.3 points/game (27th) Defense: 406.4 yards allowed/game (32nd), 165.9 rushing yards allowed/game (32nd), 240.5 passing yards allowed/game (14th), 30.0 points allowed/game (32nd) 2. Overhaul Former Falcons/Browns/Redskins/Texans (in reverse order) Offensive Coordinator Kyle Shanahan, who was born in Minneapolis, was hand-picked to overhaul an offense that struggled mightily. The 49ers ran the ball well, but were one of just four teams to average fewer than 200 passing yards per game. Shanahan?s Falcons ranked third in the category in 2016, averaging 295.3 per game. 3. Exchange rate The 49ers used free agency frequently this offseason to adjust their roster, bringing in quarterbacks Brian Hoyer and Matt Barkley, as well as receivers Pierre Gar?on, Marquise Goodwin and Aldrick Robinson, as well as linebacker Malcolm Smith and fullback Kyle Juszczyk. Veterans Antoine Bethea, Torrey Smith and Phil Dawson are the most notable departures who have signed elsewhere.

Keep climbing? After working as offensive coordinator for the Bears (2015) and Broncos (2013-14), Adam Gase led Miami in his first season as a head coach to four more wins than in the previous season. The 39-year-old will try to keep raising the bar in chase of their division mate and defending champ Patriots. 3. Catch and keep The Dolphins re-signed a couple of key catches, receiver Kenny Stills and safety Reshad Jones, as well as defensive end Andre Branch and guard Jermon Bushrod. They also brought in veteran linebacker Lawrence Timmons, who played 10 seasons in Pittsburgh, and signed tight ends Anthony Fasano, who played for the Dolphins from 2008-12, and Julius Thomas.
I like the pre-season schedule it will give you some kind of an idea what there working with,how come AP can't find no job? should have taken less money and helped the young guys and retire as a Vikings,yeah the QB thing can wait they need O-line men another lb....name of the game is DEPTH!!!!!!! the Vikings got exposed last year there lack of depth was just pitful
Brian Robison says he'll likely retire after 2018 While the Vikings spend the offseason strategizing how they'll attempt to bounce back from 2016's disappointment, it's safe to observe from afar that their window of contention might be closing. One Viking has placed a deadline on his own chances. ? Defensive end Brian Robison told the St. Paul Pioneer Press on Friday that he thinks 2018 will be his final season in the NFL. "I really do believe that probably at the end of those two years, it will be it," Robison told the Pioneer Press. "It'll be about my time to call it (a career), but we'll see how I feel when I get there. ... But I would say that more than likely, that will probably be the time that I'm going to have to lay things to the side and get ready for life after football." Robison turns 34 in just over a week, and recently restructured his deal to run through 2018. He's played 10 seasons in the NFL, all with the Vikings, and has been part of playoff teams four times, losing three times in the Wild Card round and once in the memorable 2009 NFC title game against New Orleans. He's been a consistent pass rusher off the edge in both good times and bad, compiling 269 tackles and 56 sacks, including a season high of nine sacks in 2013. At 33, Robison's production (28 tackles, 7.5 sacks, three forced fumbles) mirrored most of his career. If he follows this plan, he'll retire after a dozen seasons in Viking purple and gold. He'll finish among the franchise's top five in career sacks.
its just perfect i'm pretty sure Robison got Hunter all coached up ready to step in..Brian Robison has been one of the more constant and durable D-line man the Vikings have had...time to take the next step up
