Davenport has something to prove....

Hopefully Flores can unlock his potential. 

Wish the guy well, but I have low expectations.  We'll see how he can do as an edge in a 3/4.

Vikings continue to roster talent at the edge position for ridiculously cheap contracts. Not sure what they plan to do with Z, but I'm hoping they just pay him. Would love to see a rotation with Hunter, Davenport and Z Smith. 

I read somewhere that Davenport is most effective as a pass rusher when lined up on the inside. It makes me wonder if although listed as an OLB on the depth chart, he was actually signed to replace some of Tomlinson's production.

Kick the tires for 13 million.  :/

I could see that. Viking got plenty of pressure outside last year, but almost nothing from the inside. I don't know how likely it is, but I sure would love to see a pass rush line that includes Hunter, Z AND Davenport.
