Za'Darius Smith had a roster bonus that became guaranteed on Friday. Unless a trade is in the works, it looks like he'll be on the roster next year.

The potential of keeping Za'Darius Smith is pretty interesting. I thought the signing of Marcus Davenport meant Smith would be gone but now I'm wondering if Davenport will be an upgrade on DJ Wonnum. Davenport has never played more than 532 snaps in a season. He's never even played a full season. Last year DJ Wonnum played 562 snaps (48%). Our pass rush was nonexistent whenever Hunter or Smith were out of the game. Wonnum stinks and so far Patrick Jones hasn't shown any promise in limited snaps. With a secondary full of question marks it makes a lot of sense to beef up the pass rush. Pass rush packages of Hunter/Smith/Davenport could be lethal. You can keep those guys on some sort of a rotation so at least 2 of them are on the field at all times. That keeps them fresh throughout the game and as the season goes along.

Thielen is a Panther. I appreciate everything he gave to this team and wish him nothing but the best, except for when the Vikings travel to Charlotte this year.

At about 5 million on the cap, we can certainly have all 3 of Hunter/Smith/Davenport on this roster next year.
