This is a no frills forum designed for entertaining discussion about our beloved Vikings. Many of us have been discussing Vikings football together for years/decades, resulting in a camaraderie which we strive to preserve.

They should have let them take him back. When you use mostly 11 personnel a second TE especially a blocking TE sure isn't needed much. I guess this will spell the end of Kirk's safety valve CJ Ham.

According to Next Gen Stats, the Rams employed two TE sets 30 percent of the time last season, up from 22 percent in 2019.
Roughly used 2 TE about 1/3 of the time. Mundt was cheap, and is a good blocker. These are the type of signings Minnesota will be doing with the current cap situation. And yes, it’s most likely Ham will be cut.

Considering Hockenson isn’t willing to get his cleats dirty without a “top TE in the league” extension, then it’s great we have Mundt. At first it was equilibrium with TJ, then an ear infection and now this : Appears T.J. Hockenson did not warm up with the team again today. He hasn't fully participated in a practice in over three weeks, will not play in preseason like many starters. O'Connell said Wednesday Hockenson recently reported "lower back stiffness" after the ear infection. I wonder if those maladies would disappear with the kind of extension he wants?

I read somewhere that Hockenson himself (and our HC as well) said Hockenson would be back week 1..... but I'm starting to wonder if that will be the case.
Either way.... my favorite addition to the team this past offseason is big boy TE Oliver..... can't teach size!!!! Ready to see him in action as a Viking, with or without Hockenson.....
