He was our best defensive player in 2022.
Best of luck to the Duke.
Fullback, blocking TE, tall CBโsโฆ.Zimmer must be back!

I think Kwesi isn't going to cut it. I see 3 or 4 yrs and done...sadly

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

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. I have an idea Flores had significant input on the call to let Duke walk. Probably right. I just hope he is able to coach up the interesting collection of DBs that we end up having on the field. Can Evans stay healthy? Can Booth learn how to turn his hips and run and stay healthy? Can whatever rookie we draft be even remotely useful as a rookie?

I think Kwesi isn't going to cut it. I see 3 or 4 yrs and done...sadly That could certainly be the case, but after thinking about this for awhile, I think this was the indirect impact of Flores.
I don't think Flores hated Shelley, but I am convinced he has told Kwesi he expects a CB in the draft with one of the top 2 picks. Provided that everyone is healthy, that would drop Shelley to #4 CB and push his playing time, way down.
That probably would not go over well with him. It's not the money, but potentially a very unhappy player on the roster. If that was the case, it's for the best to allow Duke to move on.

Is it true the Raiders only gave him 1.3 mill and the Vikes only offered 1.2 mill? I mean really if you're going to offer 1.2 mill than why not 1.5 to keep him. I don't understand. Than again maybe if the vikes offer 1.5, the Raider offer 1.6. So, who knows.
