The Real Forno Show: Trade ups and void years explained

The Minnesota Vikings using void years in contracts and how much is too much for a trade up highlights this episode of The Real Forno Show.

The Minnesota Vikings are a month away from likely making a change at the quarterback position. They let Kirk Cousins walk in free agency and acquired the 23rd overall pick signaling the desire to make a change.

The big question surrounding the Vikings is whether or not they can make a trade-up to get a quarterback. It’s a difficult proposition because while the desire to trade up is there, the Vikings still need to find someone to trade up with.

What is too much of a cost? Do the Vikings need to protect their first-round pick at all costs? Is it worth it to trade the pick? That is the lead topic of conversation on The Real Forno Show.

The other main topic is focused on void years.The Vikings continue to use void years in their contracts. Why is it smart to do so? Should they get away from using them?

The Real Forno Show: Kirk Cousins era ends

The latest episode of The Real Forno Show breaks down the end of the Kirk Cousins era for the Minnesota Vikings.

What a first day of free agency for the Minnesota Vikings.

General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah had his first chance to truly start shaping the team in his image after getting rid of a lot of the bad contracts that were left over from the Rick Spielman era.

The Vikings saw Kirk Cousins agree to terms with the Atlanta Falcons while agreeing to terms with three players and re-signed two of their own.

What can we make of these signings? Is there a trend with how Adofo-Mensah is approaching free agency? What can we expect them to do over the next few weeks?

On the latest episode of The Real Forno Show, we discuss 12 free agents the Minnesota Vikings should pursue in free agency.

This is an incredibly pivotal offseason for the Minnesota Vikings. General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah is tasked with finding the future at the quarterback position along with potentially replacing Danielle Hunter and extending Justin Jefferson.

With nearly $40 million in salary cap space, there is plenty of salary cap space to make a splash and fortify the roster. On the latest episode of The Real Forno Show, we discuss 12 players that they should be targeting once the legal tampering period begins on March 11th.

  • Miami DT Christian Wilkins
  • Miami DE Emmanuel Ogbah
  • Miami ILB Jerome Baker
  • Cincinnati DT D.J. Reader
  • Seattle TE Noah Fant
  • Seattle ILB Jordyn Brooks
  • New York RB Saquon Barkley
  • San Francisco DT Javon Kinlaw
  • San Francisco EDGE Chase Young
  • Dallas EDGE Dorance Armstrong Jr.

The third group was quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers, which was the main event given the excitement and talent at both wide receiver and quarterback.

  • Xavier Worthy broke the record for the 40-yard dash! What does it mean for his stock?
  • Adonai Mitchell ran a 4.34 40-yard dash as a prototypical X-receiver and Ladd McConkey ran a 4.39 40-yard dash. What do we take from that?

The Real Forno Show: Combine standouts from DBs and TEs

Tyler Forness breaks down the defensive backs and tight ends on the latest episode of The Real Forno Show.

The NFL Scouting Combine is officially underway! After doing interviews with the media and their medical exams in prior days, the second group ended up getting onto the field for their workouts.

The second group was defensive backs and tight ends, a change from past years when the DBs would be on the last day. With how the position groups are stacked this year, having them with the tight ends made sense this year.

  • Was this year’s DB group the fastest in recent memory?
  • Injuries to top prospects mar testing.
  • Cam Hart and Khyree Jackson run really well for their size
  • How did Brock Bowers test? Is he worthy of a top 10 pick?
  • Any other tight ends standout in a weak group?
