There was such a missed opportunity to have an actual pass rush rather than just Hendrickson + nobody. The Vikings added two of the five and they both have 9 sacks right now (those two combined have just 1 less sack than our entire team combined).

100& spot on

Trenton says goodbye.  I guess that's a sign he isn't coming back to the PS

Mannn the end of a beautiful chapter. Met so many wonderful people in this beautiful city. Fought for what I stand for and learned to be me through it all for me.

When people no longer see you the way you see yourself it’s a clear sign that it’s time to go. Excited to create my legacy elsewhere and keep chasing perfection like a shadow.

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Imagine if family offspring were like this... we released bengaliitis jr for hayword,  put bengaliitis the IInd in the PS, hoping for the best to improve the family team.

Cade York signed to the active roster

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

PK Cade York to the 53 from the PS. For the moment, that puts us at 53, but Hubbard to IR is imminent. We also signed LB Joe Giles-Harris and S Jaylen Key to the PS. 


Key was the final pick of the draft in 2024 and released off their PS this October. Giles-Harris was signed as an undrafted FA out of Duke by Jacksonville in 2019 and has played in 20 NFL games for the Jags, Bills, and Pats since.
