Source: The #Vikings are not exercising the option on starting S Andrew Sendejo, making him a free agent. Another talented safety in the mix before free agency.

The #Vikings are releasing starting guard Mike Remmers, source said. The O-line overhaul begins.

But, it wasn’t all goodbyes for the Vikings. With one safety let go, another safety was tendered a pretty hefty 2nd-round pick that’d be surprising to see anyone pick up. They will also have the chance to match any offer given to Rashod Hill but wouldn’t get any compensation if they choose not to. You can get a clear breakdown of how the tenders work HERE.

Vikings placed the second-round tender on safety Anthony Harris, per source.

#Vikings also have announced that they have tendered restricted free agent tackle Rashod Hill. That has been expected to be for $2.025 million.

We are still waiting for news on most of the franchise staples, like Rudolph and Griffen, that we’ve been talking about since the season ended and we’ll keep this post updated as the day goes on and more moves are made. Currently, the Vikings have effectively doubled their cap space if the Anthony Harris and Rashod Hill tenders stick. They’re currently working with about $10M after the moves we’ve seen.

The Vikings’ moves so far today — cutting Andrew Sendejo and Mike Remmers, and tendering Anthony Harris and Rashod Hill — have effectively doubled their available cap space. They began the day with $4.94 million available, and cleared another $4.93 million.

In Week 13’s MNF game, Antonio’s little brother got his back. Rookie WR, JuJU Smith-Schuster, gave the neighborhood bully a taste of his own medicine:

Burfict is a bully who got knocked out by the new kid on the block. #Juju #steelers pic.twitter.com/37SsT0NNNI

— T.J. Santillo (@tjsantillo) December 5, 2017

The NFL announced that JuJu will be suspended a game for his pop-shot on Vontaze. They cited the “celebrating” afterwards as part of their ruling. That’s bogus. They’re not suspending anyone for taunting.

What did you think about the hit, AB?

why am i dying at this . ?? RT @JFowlerESPN: As JuJu Smith-Schuster describes his block on Vontaze Burfict, Antonio Brown keeps yelling ‘Karma.’ pic.twitter.com/6mny3xV3bF

“I ain’t even trippin I got straight cash on it.” AKA – JuJu’s older bro will be paying for his fine.

I don’t agree or disagree with making the 20 year-old sit out vs the Ravens. However, I definitely don’t agree with the league office’s inconsistent approach on these rulings.

If Smith-Schuster gets a game, Julio Jones deserves one as well:

I’m not sure about you, but to me, that looked pretty similar to JuJu’s hit.

Suspending Julio means that the NFL would have to remove politics from their decision-making process. I’m not holding my breath. Jones and the Falcons play the Saints on TNF this week. Prime Time Baby (*Deion Sanders Voice*) Make the All Pro WR sit that game out? HELL NO.

It’d be interesting if Antonio Brown, instead of JuJu, was the one who cleaned Burfict’s clock. Pittsburgh has their own nationally broadcasted game this week. The Steelers play the Ravens on SNF. Would the spastic stiffs in suits have made the best WR in the world sit that one out?

Nope.

Money over everything. Just like Jones and Brown, Rob Gronkowski is an extremely polarizing player. Gronk is a cash-cow for the NFL. The TE took an egregious WWE style cheap-shot on Tre’Davious White this weekend:

Gronkowski and Brady showing some stuff today ?‍♂️ Ridiculous pic.twitter.com/HBlGS1T7Go

— Tripp Morgan (@TrippMorgan6) December 3, 2017

If JuJu got one for his hit, Gronk gets at least three for this trash, right?

Nope.

They only gave the Patriots TE one game. I wonder who NE plays in two weeks? What a coincidence! It’s a highly anticipated AFC matchup in Pittsburgh. The fan-favorite Gronkowski can’t miss that one! Sit him out while Brady dusts Miami this week and throw him back in there. What a shit-show.

It’s frustrating. This isn’t the NBA. When those players get superstar treatment, they go to the foul line. Their opponent is unharmed. Tre’Davious White was far from unharmed. Because of Gronk, the 2017 first-round pick suffered the first concussion of his NFL career.

The Julio/Gronkowski decisions almost have me as pissed as the Lamarcus Joyner situation. The former Rams safety was ONLY fined for this hit on Teddy:

Fuck you Gregg Williams. People don’t forget.

If an umpire’s strike zone is too big or too small, he/she better at least be consistent. If they call it both ways, players at least know what to expect. The same goes for these NFL suspensions. Even if people don’t like the league offices approach, they still need a STANDARD approach.

Be fair. This is a dangerous game we all love. Forget about your cash for once, please.
