Tight end Kyle Rudolph‘s name was linked to trade discussions around the draft and the prospect of his departure from the Vikings cropped up again last week.There was a report that contract extension talks between Rudolph and the team have broken down http://www.panthersauthorizedshops.com/ … ler-jersey , which led some to speculate about a trade away from Minnesota as it would allow the Vikings to create some cap space at a moment when they have less than $1 million in room. Irv Smith Jr.‘s arrival as a second-round pick lent some support to the idea that the Vikings could part ways with Rudolph.On Monday, Rudolph said that a move away from Minnesota is not what he or his family wants and reiterated his belief that the Vikings can play both tight ends effectively. He also acknowledged that the team is going to have to make some decisions in order to clear up the financial side of things.“We’re in a tough situation as a team,” Rudolph said Jordan Scarlett Jersey , via Andrew Krammer of the. “Can’t keep everybody, can’t pay everybody. Those guys, I know David Montgomery Jersey , are working really hard to figure out something.”The Vikings start OTAs next week and Rudolph said he’d like clarity about his roster status as soon as possible. Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton said that he was hoping things would “all feel new and feel different” once the team started to work with new head coach Zac Taylor this week.Another longtime member of the team says that things do feel different after the offseason program got underway on Tuesday. Wide receiver A.J. Green has never played for an NFL head coach other than Marvin Lewis and said that Taylor’s presence carries a different energy, particularly when it comes to the offensive side of the ball.“I think he’s definitely going to be hands-on. That’s good,” Green said http://www.bearsauthorizedshops.com/aut … ley-jersey , via the team’s website. “He’s young. It looks like the offense is going to [be] very high flying. We have the talent to be real good. We just have to put everything together … There’s a different energy in this building.”Green added that “it doesn’t look like [Taylor’s] first head coaching job,” so things aren’t as new and different as they could be in Cincinnati.
