Back stiffness.... Also known as, I don't have my new contact yet stiffness.

Yeah, I'm guessing he, Jonathan Taylor and J.K. Dobbins all have the same doctor.

I don't blame him either. He blows out his ACL in practice and he'll never get the deal he deserves.

I'm on board since I'm now a Super Bowl or bust fan. 

But plenty of people would be upset because they prefer watching playoff caliber teams, even if there is no reasonable chance at a title, and I'm empathetic to that.

A fun season is more fun that what this Twins team is doing....last year was fun (if bonkers at times) until the playoffs. I'm sympathetic to your stance, which I used to hold, but I'm more of a journey guy now.....

I like Hockenson a lot but not enough to pay market resetting money to. He still has to play this year out regardless. And, hate to say it but we can place the franchise tag on him which will be cheaper.

Along the same train of thought as brining Trey Lance in, Matt Corral would interest me as a test subject for KOC. It's unclear what's going to happen with him in Carolina, but he has no long term future there.

Is there any speculation they would trade for Lance?

There has been since February.

No Lance. Guess they'll have to somehow draft a QB....

I'm just worried this organization is going to be so afraid of being bad enough to draft a good QB prospect that they'll instead go the Carr/Garoppalo route indefinitely and be mediocre for ever.

Truth.
