While the team has tried to quell a sense that a firesale is afoot with its public remarks, the reality is the Ngakoue trade sent a distinct signal to other contending clubs and led to an outpouring of inquiries about the team's roster. League sources said it's possible that receiver Adam Thielen is dealt before the deadline, but not likely, while there was an expectation among other executives that Minnesota is very open to moving safety Harrison Smith, left tackle Riley Reiff and tight end Kyle Rudolph if they can find the right takers.
"They try to push Rudolph but the guy we want is (Irv) Smith," one GM said. "They don't want to trade the young guys. But, yeah, they will push out more salary if they can."

I'm good with Rick cleaning up his mess by getting these picks, and I do hope we can move Reiff and Rudolph. I'm not sure I'm on board with moving Harrison, I'd much rather move Harris.
But when this season is done, I dont think I can trust Rick to get us back on the right track. And I'm not sure I want to entrust a new QB to Zim/Kubes and their offensive philosophy that's stuck in the 90s.
... and neither is this Chris guy.
