I can only concern myself with the here & now. When the Jets signed him I was worried about him showing up only when he absolutely had to (hello Lamar Jackson) but he’s been in the building since day one, hanging with his teammates, working on the practice field and in the meeting rooms to gel with the team.

That is because he got new toys. It will not last.

"The game was fixed" is a phrase Goodell and the owners never want to hear. If the average NFL fan becomes convinced that games are fixed it would be end of the NFL as we know it.
When I first heard of players being suspended for gambling I thought to myself how stupid it was for the NFL to publicize players who were actually betting on NFL games. I thought it should have been kept in-house but still dealt with severely.
The game has to be protected from players betting on or against their own team and from the notion that refs sway games purposefully. Putting a team in Vegas invited scrutiny.
Putting sportsbooks in NFL stadiums is worse. Having refs who grew up and lived all their lives in Green Bay assigned to a game between GB and the Vikings is a really bad look.
Give some people looking for evidence of fixed games an inch and they'll take a mile and claim these things prove that games are fixed.

Honestly, there will probably be a major betting scandal in the future. The NFL is too cozy with sports betting and even put a team in Vegas. I'm sure they will be shocked, shocked when a scandal erupts. 🙄

Oh my word you really are a funny guy.
What in his history makes you even remotely think that will happen.
Remember most of these years was against a weak NFC North

I just heard this. He doesn't make as much as I'd have thought (was about $5 mil this year) but Alexander Mattinson is going to earn about $3.6 million so I can kind of see where they would not want to have that kind of investment in the backfield. I'm still a bit surprised by this.

Am I missing something here? He has been highly productive for years. Is he due for a big contract and they're just releasing him because they know they're not going to be able to come to an agreement?

Tried to trade him and couldn't. The Vikings are rebuilding. TE Hockenson may also be a casualty.

Here's an article by Bill Barnwell (free) that describes the Vikings' red flags leading into '23 based on their historically unprecedented 11-0 record in close games in '22. That luck can't hold up.
