Mailbag Questions

Luke Braun - Who's the best player on the team that could be cut if they have a bad preseason?
Connor - Arif yesterday projecting that Stacy Coley doesn't make the 53. Did some research and found some interesting info. He was running with the 1st team (presumably ahead of Treadwell) before being injured in Minicamp. Am I missing something? With the team being loaded in the secondary, could we see a trade unloading a secondary piece for OL help before the season depending on how things look in the preseason?
Alex Goble - Let's say Kyle Sloter has a good training camp and looks even better in preseason action. Denver calls before Week 1 and offers to give back the 5th we spent on Siemian in exchange for him. What say you?
Kenneth Allen - If you could Thanos snap any group(s) of people from existence, which would you choose?
Dan from Iowa - We have about 6 outside corners and no obvious slot corner. What if, against teams without an elite #1 receiver, Rhodes moves to the slot in nickel situations?
Mo Sav - Why doesn't the NFL have a softer cap like the NBA...also why aren't there exceptions and other provisions like the mid level and bi annual for teams strapped against the cap
Corey Ruegg - If you could build a QB to defeat our defense, what traits would that look like. Also who in the NFL best resembles that QB and would they be a real threat?
Matt McKeon - Which is a worse rule, soccer's intentional handball or the NFL's catch rule?
Steen Lightguy - Why do we keep doing this to ourselves every year?
Kyle Slaybee - Which 2017 Vikings QB is most likely to beat the 2018 team and somehow destroy our season? If the NFLN is predicting the Packers to go 16-0 AND the Bears to go 15-1, does that stand to follow the Vikings, a better overall team, will go 19-0? How many touchdowns will future All-Pro Laquon Treadwell have in 2018: his breakout year?
Don From Ohio - Best way to cook corn on the cob?
HVAC Repairman - what is the weirdest spreadsheet arif has created?
