Could the Vikings ditch one of their longest-tenured players with a year left on his contract after drafting his likely long-term replacement in round two?"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football AdviceCDTShareTweetShareShareVikings TE Kyle Rudolph could be headed out of Minnesota after contract talks stallBrad Rempel-USA TODAY SportsA long-time starter for an NFC North team could be on the move soon. The Minnesota Vikings drafted Alabama tight end Irv Smith Marquez Valdes-Scantling Jersey , Jr. in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft last month, raising questions about the status of veteran Kyle Rudolph. Rudolph, who is owed just over $7.6 million in 2019, has no remaining dead money on his contract and could therefore be cut without penalty should the Vikings choose to part ways. To this point, however, the team has seemingly expressed interest in signing him to a new contract extension, unloading some of this year’s cap money into the future by virtue of a signing bonus.However, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports that talks have stalled on Friday JK Scott Jersey , raising the possibility of Rudolph leaving Minnesota via trade.A solid all-around tight end, Rudolph has consistently caught around two-thirds of his targets in the passing game while pitching in around 500 receiving yards per season. He also is a plus blocker, providing additional value to teams that may be interested in acquiring him. However, any trade would likely come with a similar contract extension, as it is unlikely that other NFL teams would be interested in that same cap hit of more than $7.5 million.Rudolph has often been a thorn in the Packers’ side over the years. In 14 games against Green Bay over his eight-year career, Rudolph has better per-game receiving numbers in several notable categories compared to his career averages: 42 yards per game instead of 34, 11.1 yards per reception versus 9.8. Only his touchdown rate — 0.21 scores per game compared to 0.37 overall — is notably lower.Last year alone, Rudolph had a pair of seven-catch games against Green Bay Kevin King Jersey , with more than 60 yards in each contest. His best game against the Packers actually came in a loss, however, when he hauled in 6 receptions for 106 yards and a score in a 30-13 loss at TCF Bank Stadium in 2015.If the Vikings do move on from Rudolph, it would pose some questions for the 2019 team at the tight end position. Famously, tight ends rarely make a significant receiving impact as rookies, and the other tight ends on the roster not named Rudolph or Smith have a combined 23 NFL receptions. A free agent signing may be a necessity in that case, as names like Dion Sims, Lance Kendricks Josh Jones Jersey , and Levine Toilolo remain on the market. The Bears likely knew they were going to lose safety Adrian Amos this offseason, after drafting and developing him.But their disappointment in losing a talented young player was mitigated by finding an only slightly less young safety who is ready to prove himself for several reasons.Via J.J. Stankevitz of , the Bears think that replacing Amos (who went to the Packers) with former Packers (and briefly Washington) safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix can still be a “win-win.”While Amos rang the bell with a long-term deal, Clinton-Dix took a one-year deal in hopes of a good season with a great defense can help him find his security next year (if people are still signing safeties then).鈥淎 lot of times if it gets to that point (where the agent and player) can say hey, I want another bite at the apple if I play well and sometimes it’s financially advantageous for us too,鈥?Bears General Manager Ryan Pace said. 鈥淎nd hey let’s just be honest, usually these one-year deals, they are very motivated and he has the right makeup and character to come in and play well. And he fits well into the defense and obviously the familiarity with [former Alabama teammate] Eddie Jackson Montravius Adams Jersey , I think that helps a lot too.鈥漃ace said he was “proud” that Amos was able to get a four-year, $37 million deal with the Packers, and not just because it might give the Bears a chance at a rare comp pick (they haven’t had one since 2009).
