League_Champion Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Really? WHY??? Kyle Rudolph is back with the Minnesota Vikings after agreeing to a contract extension that is set to pay him $36 million over four seasons through 2023, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplemonster Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) He's kind of slow as molasses. I am not a huge fan to be honest. But it depends on the contract structure. If it is 9 million guaranteed I don't have a problem. If it is 16 million it is too much. I was hoping they'd just cut or trade him but maybe they want to run 2 TE sets with Irv Smith Jr. I don't know. Given our junky Oline they may want easy passes for Kirk. A little puzzling if they guaranteed him much money but I am still waiting on full contract details.

League_Champion Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Yeah, I don't get it. He's terrible if you ask me. It wouldn't take much to replace him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Appears to be just over $9M guaranteed, Spotrac doesn't have a lot of detail beyond the first year, but does clearly show $9.25M, with about $7.6M coming in 2019. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/minnesota-vikings/kyle-rudolph-7762/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 I wouldn't sign him for 3 million. I don't think he brings anything to the table. Just sayin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying you're wrong, but look at what Eric Ebron did when he finally got out of Detroit. Rudolph isn't bringing much for the Vikings these days in their system and he's not getting younger - can't disagree with you there. I do wonder if a free agent signing would've been better for both parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplemonster Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Yeah I would have preferred to just see him cut to be honest. Even for 9 million. But it's not a huge investment. I'd feel differently if he blocked well but he doesn't. I agree with League I think he's pretty easily replaced for what he produces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 I've learned my lesson with drafting Rudolph. I released him mid season. He's a stiff. I wouldn't draft him in the 16th round, nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bier Meister Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I am a fan of his, but think they are overpaying. How do we think he ranks (non-ff): kelce/ertz kittle Rudoplh/Ebron/Mcdonald Cook burton hooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplemonster Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I have him at 9th in fantasy scoring last year, even though he played all 16 games. OJ Howard, Gronk, Evan Engram and others were not far behind and they missed multiple weeks. And on a team that threw 63% of the time. And now he has Irv Smith Jr who may take some snaps. The O line may be better this year but he's not a super attractive fantasy candidate to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borge007 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Maybe Cousins will wake up and find him more often. It's Cousins fault as much as Rudolphs. IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO I agree to an extent. Cousins was terrible at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
