Reiff Cut - Bilbo Saggins - 03-11-2021
The Vikings have released Riley Reiff. He is 32 years old and has played mostly LT throughout his career(though he has some experience at RT).

high praise from and GM and Zimmer, sounds like a Pollack guy
"I love the kid. He's a tough, physical guy," Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said of Reiff at the end of last season. "He's a pro's pro. Comes out and works every single day. He's had a really good year. He's a big-time battler; he'll fight you all day long, so he's really everything you want in an offensive lineman."
"I thought Riley played very consistent last year, had probably one of his best years here, and for him he's just so smart, so competitive, and he's really learned over the years how to play very efficient, and he was definitely one of our most consistent offensive linemen last year," general manager Rick Spielman said last week

They needed cap room. Plus, the drafted Ezra Cleveland in the 2nd last year.

Bring him in and move Jonah to RT. If we Draft Sewell, Jonah could still play one of the Guard spots.

could news, he also had played RT so can move Reiff to that tackle spots.. bad news is KC just released two veteran tackles.. so they will be in the hunt for a tackle and it will be hard to pass up playing for Chiefs over most all teams

Reiff fits the wide zone we are going to run though. I don't know what the Chiefs run. The Chiefs also released those two
Tackles for cap reasons. We have a lot more room to work with with our Cap especially after we make a few cuts.
