Daniel Jackson released by Texans

Jackson was unable to earn a spot on the Texans 53-man roster. He'll likely seek a spot on a practice squad.

Nutz!

Jah Joyner was cut by the Raiders. I'm guessing both these guys will have legitimate chances to be on someone's practice squad.

Bummer but hopefully he can find a fit somewhere else. NFL is a tough business. Jackson is a really solid receiver but he lacks great size or gamebreaking speed so it is going to be a battle for him to stay in the league.

I suggest the Gophers pick up a last second commitment from Jack Danielson ... just keep him away from the close up camera shots and we should be good.

I think you've hit on it. For a guy in Jackson's situation, you need one standout tool (usually size or speed) to make folks take full notice. Still and all, he'll likely be on a practice squad somewhere. He's a solid player who just needs to find a fit.

Hope the kid lands back on his feet soon.

Vikings should pick him up. It’ll be good for Brosmer to have a familiar receiver when he takes over the QB1 job next months.

Tyler Cooper cut by the Packers. Nothing yet on Lindenberg. Fingers crossed he makes the Raiders' 53.

I hope the Vikings sign Daniel Jackson at least to the practice squad. Vikings need another guy that can be Brosmers go to guy in practice.

It just seems like he would be very good as the #3/4 receiver from the slot to get needed yardage. Agreed that he does not have break away speed, but a lot of successful short yardage, move the chains NFL WRs don't either.

The Vikings would do well if they signed both Jah Joyner and Daniel Jackson.

I think the Vikings should have all ex-Gopher players. They would win the Super Bowl every year.

I’m sure your sarcasm was lost on some.

I really liked Jackson and thought he was a winning player. Hopefully he can catch on in a system that fits his skill set.

Except Bucky Irving. **** him.

He made it!

Except Bucky Irving. **** him.

Yep, Bucky was disappointing however he was just the Gophers first taste of the new reality of NIL and the Portal, which in general has been more of a plus to this point than minus for Minnesota due to Coach Fleck's ability to navigate a changing landscape.

Plus I don't think we'll mess with anyone's pre-Gopher nickname again.

I'm fine with a WR nicknamed Herky Husker if he's good and wears Maroon and Gold.
