Welcome to Talking Giants Player Profiles and Projections.

Today we have free agent edition for the Minnesota Vikings.

Kyle Rudolph, 6 foot 6, 265 pounds, 31 years old.

Same birthday as my brother by the way, November 9th.

Contract details.

Came over on some good money, two years 12 mil.

So this year obviously is fully guaranteed and the next year his cap it would be seven

and a half.

But then his dead cap would be two and a half.

So he'd save five if they're to move on from.

He's already a complicated signing with Evan Ingram and even Kate and Smith.

But him being injured makes it a little more complicated.

But I said in our camp battles episode that if healthy I want him as tight end one and

we'll go into all the reasons why over Evan Ingram and I still stand by that if he's

healthy and ready to roll for week one, I think he should be get the majority of the

reps.

I don't think it means you completely bench Evan Ingram.

I think you move work him evenly, but Kyle Rudolph does more well than Evan Ingram is

just a match up nightmare.

That doesn't become a nightmare for defenses too often.

Yeah, for sure.

Kyle Rudolph, it was kind of a surprise for agent signing.
