News of Kyle Rudolph’s release from the New York Giants couldn’t have come at a better time for the Minnesota Vikings. Irv Smith Jr. is coming off a season-ending injury, and the team could lose Tyler Conklin in free agency.
So a reunion with Rudolph, a player the Vikings drafted back in 2011, makes all of the sense in the world, right? He could just waltz right back into town on a veteran discount and serve as a secondary option behind the returning Smith.
If only it were that simple.
