Today is the last day for players to make an impression and make the final 53 or get invited to a practice squad. Good luck to all of them!
I do not do 53 man roster predictions. I think it is a waste of time. I waste my time on something even more absurd. MOCK DRAFTS!
A couple of trades that interested me happened this week.
Isaiah Simmons was traded to the Giants for a 7th round pick. I know he has been playing safety and linebacker for the Cardinals who could not seem to find a spot for him after drafting him in the first round (what a surprise from that organization). I thought he could be useful for Flores though. I looked up his contract and he us only making 1.01M this year which is all the Giants have to account for on their cap. A 7th round pick and 1.01M for a player like Simmons? I would have loved to believe Kwesi could have done that deal. I am hopelessly foolish.
The other deal was the one many were hoping would happen. Trey Lance was traded for a 4th round pick but NOT to the Vikings. I am not going to belittle the young man because he has not had very many snaps since high school. He still is talented. I am left to wonder where did the original Lance to the Vikings rumors originate? Did some dweeb (like myself) conjure up an imaginary Cousins for Lance trade idea that blossomed into the monster unsubstantiated rumor it became?

Not only that, but the 49ers spoke directly with the Vikings at the scouting combine about a potential trade involving the QB, per ProFootballTalk.
Florio with the rumor eh? What is not to believe?
It is over now. In Kork we trust.
Better hope Mullens does not have to play or Hall (or Lance for that matter).
