Interesting. I guess the Vikings didn't fight real hard to retain Duke Shelley.
Brian Flores probably had some input on this.

That feels disappointing.

Happy for Duke. Liked the way he dove in and competed. Has some major limitations as a player but the effort canβt be questioned.

Look at the Murphy Signing and the Evans Draft Pick. They want big long corners.

Does this open up a roster spot to sign another tight end?

I'm sure they had a low ball offer on the table, which is probably what was making him mad.
I guess he didn't fit into what Flores wants, but I really thought it was going to be a no-brainer to re-sign him.

I don't get this move unless Vegas gave Duke stupid money. The kid played well for us. I have little faith in Evans and Booth being able to stay healthy. It was like cutting Cam to save $2mm bucks. We have a very thin CB room after the FA from the Cards and we're letting young guys with potential walk. Not saying that Cam and Duke are budding stars but it just seems you should try and keep guys in a thin position group. Oh well, on to the draft.

Wolfson tweeted that Duke got around $1.3mm from Vegas. You tell me that the kid wouldn't have been worth that money as CB depth? It's a bottom of the roster move but some of KAM's moves are baffling.

Just another odd ball move by Kwesi. Why bring him in, give him a chance, he was proven serviceable, just to let him walk for a modest payday.

Does this open up a roster spot to sign another tight end? No don't be ridiculous we need another full back :-)
