As long as Rosenthal does not make the final roster that is all I ask.
He will be back then because there is nobody else gonna give him a minimum contract.

Glad to hear about Slass.

Moss = Good News, hopefully no Green and Gold for him.

Moss in Purple, why would Moss want to take on another year with a RooKie QB.
Stats killer! ..........LOL!

Rosie and Keiny, with their experience, if they want to stay on and be backups, more power to us.
Not that they would be relegated by me as backups, but I think the coach may have done so.

Jimmy K...Elbow problems?
Glad to hear he'll be back!!

GO Greenway!!
Just don't hurt yourself...

If Rosie wants to play backup for a good price then I think we should bring him back...

Getting Rosie back may be helpful in that he can play several spots, as did Whittle.
But he needs to be a backup due to his false start and holding penalties. ( Or, am I remembering incorrectly that Rosie was one of the most penalized Viking OL?)

Kleinny is welcomed back.
He is a premier blocker as a TE.
But his saalry must reflect that fact.

Getting both of these vets back would greatly reduce the need to overpay for vet backups signed from another team, and would eliminate the need to spend draft picks to fill depth at TE and OL.
Thus, the draft picks could be focused on WR, QB, DE.... i.e. the areas of greatest need of upgrade.
