With the bye week for the Minnesota Vikings almost over. . .mercifully. . .r day or two. In the meantime Dru Samia Minnesota Vikings Jerseys , however, we’re looking for stuff to talk about, and behind the great E$PN paywall, Bill Barnwell has another topic for discussion for us.Barnwell took a look at all 32 NFL rosters and attempted to project how their rosters will look in the year 2020. He divided each team up into three categories: Virtual Locks, On the Bubble, and Unlikely Notables. Let’s take a look at who Barnwell thinks will still be in purple in 2020, shall we?The “Virtual Lock” category has a lot of the names you’d expect:Dalvin Cook, RBKirk Cousins, QBStefon Diggs, WRPat Elflein, CMike Hughes, CBDanielle Hunter, DEEric Kendricks, LBBrian O’Neill, OTXavier Rhodes, CBHarrison Smith, SAdam Thielen Minnesota Vikings Jerseys Stitched , WRStephen Weatherly, DE2020 will be the final year of the contract Cousins signed this offseason, so he’ll absolutely be here. In his commentary, Barnwell notes that Thielen’s contract is likely going to have to be addressed sooner rather than later as well. While it’s a little light on offensive linemen, this does seem like a pretty solid core for the purple going forward.The “On the Bubble” category is where things start to get interesting.Mackensie Alexander, CB (signed through 2019)Anthony Barr, LB (signed through 2018)Nick Easton, OL (signed through 2018)Everson Griffen, DE (signed through 2022)Rashod Hill, OT (signed through 2018)George Iloka, S (signed through 2018)Linval Joseph, DT (signed through 2022)Riley Reiff, OT (signed through 2021)Mike Remmers, OT (signed through 2021)Kyle Rudolph, TE (signed through 2019)Andrew Sendejo, S (signed through 2019)Trae Waynes, CB (signed through 2019)Here’s the commentary that Barnwell has with this particular group:I’m surprised to see Griffen and Joseph on this list Discount Dru Samia Jersey , quite frankly. By the time we hit 2020, we would be at a point where the Vikings could save a lot of cap space by cutting both of those guys loose (about $10 million for Joseph and around $13 million for Griffen). But the defensive line is a spot where guys can be productive for quite a while, and both of those guys are very productive when they’re healthy and on their game.Other than that, the only players in that category that are still scheduled to be under contract when 2020 rolls around are Reiff and Remmers. Much like Griffen and Joseph, their contracts are structured in a manner that it would no longer be cost-prohibitive to cut either (or both) of them loose by the time 2020 rolls around. If the Vikings can actually develop some offensive linemen to go with Elflein and O’Neill, I can see that group being mostly accurate.Barnwell did have one name under the “Unlikely Notables” list that I might have a disagreement with.Dan Bailey, KLatavius Murray, RBSheldon Richardson, DTLaquon Treadwell, WRRight now, I’m not sure where Richardson would fall on the Vikings’ potential re-signing food chain, which at this point likely has Barr and Waynes on it, too. I think Richardson is a guy that they’d like to have back for the long-term, but he’s had a pretty solid season thus far and could fetch a pretty big contract on the open market. The Vikings will, likely, get a high-level compensatory pick for Richardson if he were to leave, so that would play into things as well.What do you think of Bill Barnwell’s projections for the Vikings’ 2020 roster Super Bowl Dru Samia Jersey , folks? Adam Thielen is doing things even Hall of Famers Cris Carter and Randy Moss didn’t accomplish in Minnesota.The former undrafted wide receiver from NCAA Division II Minnesota State is the first player in NFL history with at least 100 yards receiving in eight straight games to start the season. Calvin Johnson also had an eight-game streak in 2012.Thielen already has 74 catches, putting him on pace to break Marvin Harrison’s single-season record of 143. Carter holds the Vikings record with 122 catches in 1994 and 1995. Thielen has 952 yards receiving. At this rate, he’d break Moss’ team record in 14 games. Moss had 1,632 in 2003. Johnson holds the NFL record with 1,964 yards receiving.Thielen also has a touchdown catch in five consecutive games. No players since 1970 has 100 yards receiving and a TD catch in six straight games.Thielen is closing in on becoming the sixth undrafted player with back-to-back seasons of 80 catches and 1,000 yards.Here’s a look inside more numbers going into Week 9:KING ADAM: Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri became the NFL’s all-time scoring leader, surpassing Hall of Famer Morten Anderson. Vinatieri has scored 2,550 total points during his 23-year NFL career.AGELESS AP: Adrian Peterson became the oldest player, at 33 years and 221 days old, to rush for more than 100 yards and also have a rushing and receiving touchdown in Washington’s win over the Giants. Peterson is also only the fourth player age 33 or older to have 140-plus yards rushing in a game.MAHOMES MASTERY: Patrick Mahomes has thrown four touchdown passes in three consecutive games for Kansas City, joining Drew Brees (2011), Dan Marino (1984) and Peyton Manning (2004) as the only quarterbacks to do that. Marino’s streak was four games. Manning’s was five. Mahomes also has passed for 300 yards in seven straight games. Only Andrew Luck (2014) and Brees (2011) have done that. Luck reached eight games.ELITE COMPANY: Carson Wentz is the second quarterback in NFL history with at least 30 pass attempts and a passer rating of at least 115 in four consecutive games, joining Peyton Manning, who did it with Denver in 2012.PERFECTION: Russell Wilson was 14 of 17 for 248 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions in Seattle’s win at Detroit, becoming the first quarterback in franchise history to post a perfect 158.3 passer rating. Rams QB Jared Goff also had a perfect rating in Week 4 this season.
