Thoughts ?

I think I watched most every Vikings game the last few seasons and never heard the name Shamar Stephen.

Atradees · Mar 21, 2018

2014: 16 games (3 starts): 23 tackles
2015: 5 games (0 starts): 3 tackles
2016: 16 games (16 starts): 39 tackles
2017: 15 games (1 start): 28 tackles, 1.0 sacks

Depth is good. Cheap depth is better. Cheap good depth is awesome. Whichever one of these it ends up being I will be happy, as long as the contract isn't nut-so, which seems highly unlikely if it happened.

Once again.....Who?

onanygivensunday · Mar 21, 2018

If he's an UFA, don't sign him as it would negate Jimmy Graham's comp pick next year.

mikeak · Mar 21, 2018

Was just going to say that. If they sign him before June they are nuts

I'm not even sure they would host a player who would take away a comp pick unless they REALLY wanted him

flmmkrz · Mar 21, 2018

he fits the direction the teams taking this offseason, cheap contract probably short term and hope he shows more than he's had a chance to show elsewhere. It's a flyer season, I've given up on them doing much more than gambling on penny stocks this season. Seems like it's pray to get out of this season without any big stars getting hurt and lets give it a run next year when we got some money to play with.

I was thinking about this earlier.

There is a group of guys not getting signed now due to comp picks considerations. So you want to tell them you will sign them as soon as you can after that window opens. Kind of like going after unrestricted free agents after the draft.
That is all I can think that explains it

They could easily sign guys like this and dump them in week 9 for comp pick considerations.

Plus, if the salary is low enough, there's every chance he wouldn't count towards the final comp pick calculations, either.

Seems like we are gonna sign Shamar to 1 year deal.

Interesting size...another McDaniel type: 6'5'' 313lbs.

Nice.

People have the right to question moves made on the OLine.

However, as many have pointed on other threads, PC/JS have signed lesser known, rotational, situational DLinemen for years and they have been ranked number 1 on most defensive categories....until last year.

And, they did that again by signing players like Stephen.

I like this,same way we got Bennett and Avril,sorry Michael and Cliff.

2016 PFF Grade
DT – Shamar Stephen – 41.2, 109th

The former seventh-round pick is a good rotational player, but this season he was asked to play the full-time 3-technique role and struggled. An injury to Sharrif Floyd hurt the Vikings’ ability to stop the run. Tom Johnson filled in the pass-rush role well.

The body type is similar (good comparison) but McDaniels played with unusually good leverage.

His first and last name seem backward.

ducks41468 · Mar 24, 2018

Back-end rotational player. Can't be disappointed because it's unfair to expect anything from this type of move. Though pretty much all of our moves this offseason have been like this.

QuahHawk · Mar 24, 2018

Played in 38.5% of snaps on D last year. Was their 3rd most snaps at DT and #6 most for the front 4.
