Rick Spielman, who once said the Vikings had “no intent” to trade receiver Percy Harvin just before they did Chuck Foreman Jersey , said this after the draft about getting calls about veteran players: “No, not really, no. I would say we didn’t.”Maybe they didn’t. But it sure seems like they’d like to.Entering the final year of his contract, Rudolph has a non-guaranteed base salary of $7.25 million. Speculation has lingered that the Patriots http://www.thevikingslockerroom.com/authentic-fran-tarkenton-jersey , who drafted no tight ends in the aftermath of the retirement of Rob Gronkowski, could try to trade for Rudolph, eventually. That seems a little strange"We’re getting ready for the start of free agency in the National Football League, with the “legal tampering” period set to get underway on Monday. While we’ve been waiting for the Minnesota Vikings to do things to clear out some salary cap space Womens Paul Krause Jersey , one of the things that most of us have been assuming is that tight end Kyle Rudolph would be restructuring his deal to help with that.If that’s going to happen, the front office better get on it. . .because, reportedly, it hasn’t happened yet.According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network John Randle Jersey , Kyle Rudolph’s agent has said that the Vikings have not only not approached Rudolph about restructuring his deal, but they’ve told Rudolph that they hope he’ll be on the team for years to come.As things stand right now, Rudolph has a cap figure for 2019 of $7.625 million, which is the 11th-highest on the roster.

This is something that we’re definitely going to be keeping an eye on to see how things develop.
