Re: Max Unger Retires !
 

I wonder if they asked him to take a pay cut and/or to work with a specialist of his issues snapping the ball to Brees poorly and causing fumbles lately, and he took offense and hung them up. Or maybe they wanted him to restructure his contract and in the process it was clear they were not comfortable with a long extension so he felt less valued. I am not sure this is the buggest loss but it does show why maybe you dont blow all your future draft picks on trading up, long term projects, and backup qb when you need to win now. Most teams could deal with this loss better but most teams have more cap money and draft picks to make something happen.

Well I hope we find someone because as it stands we are a worse team than we were last year. Our line play was a major issue late in the season. We needed all of them to come back healthy and Armstead will be his usual 8 game self. I would feel a lot better if we had gotten Tate.

The FO had to know this was coming. I hope a trade is in the works.

Or far more likely he decided, along with his family, that he was already financially set for life and there was no reason to continue playing. Unger is a very intelligent man and is quite aware of what can happen to your body over time while playing offensive line in the NFL. More and more players have been taking an early exit and I don't blame them.

Agreed, i mean, I don't know how big the difference is between being rich and being rich.

Easton slides into Unger's spot problem solved. We need a couple of quality backups in the draft

6M$/year is quite a lot for a 6th man with pretty bad medical history.

Again, I follow the Vikes fairly closely, and Easton has never really impressed me.
