On Monday, the word came out that the Buffalo Bills were going to be releasing Pro Bowl guard Richie Incognito. As Incognito is an offensive lineman with a pulse, he immediately began drawing interest from Minnesota Vikings fans around social media.
While the immediate inclination would be that the Vikings should absolutely be in pursuit of Incognito to fill their hole at guard, there are a couple of pretty solid reasons to hit the brakes on that idea.
First off, Incognito isn’t going to come cheap. The Vikings have about $15 million in cap space remaining, according to the folks from Over the Cap.
