instant reaction that came just moments after the trade went down and Jeremiah

Searles and I re-recorded after we had done an entire podcast.

So if you missed that, we were kind of just figuring everything out at that moment,

but now we've had some time to process the trade deadline is over and I have a bunch of fan

reaction as well so I'm going to read some of those to you and respond to what Vikings fans are saying about the trade for

TJ Hawkinson and another interesting trade happened in the NFC North though I want to

talk about a little first is the Chicago Bears trading for Chase

Claypool. Now that is a surprising one. I guess they see Chase Claypool as

an opportunity to bring someone in who's young to

potentially grow alongside Justin Fields and be a long-term option for them which

sort of made me think about how the Vikings on this trade were able to accomplish the short

and long term of things because from my perspective when it first came down it was entirely about the here and now the this replaces erstmyth

junior which by the way I don't think we had an idea at the time of how long erve Smith Jr was going to be out but Adam Shefter reported it's going to be

2 to 2.5 months now normally the high ankle sprain is maybe a month maybe maybe six weeks. That was the initial prognosis that was reported

by Jeremy Fowler, but it's going to be longer. So that makes even more sense. This isn't just

something you survive for a month with Johnny Mundt and then go forward.
