Minnesota Golden Gophers in the NFL - 2023 Season

Donate To GopherHole

I think Winfield is spending too much time reading his press clippings. Oh well, he has the rest of the year to catch up.

While watching the Ravens vs Texans game Saturday there was 3 former Gophers on the field at the same time with Faalele, Bateman and Cashman. Can't say I've ever seen that happen let alone in a playoff game and I've been watching football for 40 plus years.
 

Just learned that AWJr is a free agent now! You’d think TB would sign the pro bowler to a nice contract, right? Let’s see if he’ll get a big purse.

No chance. They game planned for him. I thought it was pretty obvious — picked him up on all of his blitzes and just overall had a good game plan in place. I can’t wait to see him ring the bell with his free agent contract it’s gonna be a big one.
 


I'm probably wrong but thought Bucs had option on him in year 4. Think he becomes free agent after next year but I'm guessing Bucs sign him to a new long-term deal before his current contract expires. Again, I may be wrong on that

Eric was a great Gopher and great to see him having a long NFL career.
I wonder if Tyler Johnson will still be on the Rams practice squad into next year? I am holding out hope that he will get another shot.
