The Minnesota Vikings did not make a trade for Jalen Ramsey, and you should have seen it coming
00:04
because they told us as such early on this offseason. Let's talk about it.
00:11
Minnesota Vikings chose not to make a move for Jalen Ramsey. Now, is it the right move?
00:16
We'll find out in time. Jalen Ramsey is still an elite football player, but he's already 30 years
00:21
old, and he had a lot of money due to him on the contract and something we talked about in one of
00:25
our more recent videos last week. And what's really interesting about the idea of a Jalen
00:29
Ramsey trade isn't necessarily the player who Jalen Ramsey is. It's the idea of adding a
00:34
cornerback. It's so necessary that the Vikings need to add a cornerback right now. And when you look
00:39
at the entirety of the roster, well, there are a lot of question marks after Byron Murphy Jr.
00:44
But here's the thing. No matter how much we think that they need a cornerback, they don't.
00:49
And because they don't, they sent us the signal already that they weren't going to make a move
00:53
like this. So as much as we can talk about, hey, maybe they are going to make a move for Jalen Ramsey
00:58
or Jair Alexander, both of whom are now off the market. They told us they're not going to.
01:02
Here's a quote from Brian Flores at Mandatory Minicamp when he was asked about Isaiah Rogers,
01:06
which essentially confirmed they were not going to make that kind of move. Quote,
01:11
he's been on my radar since he was at UMass, a fast playmaker. I think he's one of these kind
01:16
of late round guys who found his way in the league in the kicking game and got in some games and made
01:21
some plays. I've always thought he was a good player and was ascending. And the opportunity presented
01:26
itself that maybe we could acquire. I was all in and I'm happy we got him. He's been a great
01:31
addition. He's got a great kind of football IQ and acumen. That's something that we really stressed
01:36
throughout the group at all levels, secondary, second level, and obviously D-line. And I think
01:41
it's just a great addition. We talk about bringing guys in who, as far as building a synergy within the
01:47
group, how does this guy mesh with Byron Murphy Jr. and Harrison Smith and Josh Mattelis?
01:52
He's just come in and done a great job from that standpoint. End quote. That quote doesn't seem
01:57
like a whole lot. It's just a coach hyping up his guy. But here's what that quote really says.
02:02
Isaiah Rogers is that guy. And you need to understand that he's that guy. And we're not
02:06
going to make a move for somebody to replace him because we believe he's that guy. And then
02:10
at cornerback three and four, you have the likes of Makai Blackman and Jeff Kuda, which if Rogers
02:15
excels as CB2, yeah, I think we're going to be doing just fine. Should have seen it coming.
02:20
It was staring at us the whole time. I'm Tyler Furniss of the Dizzy Sports. Skull Vikings.
