Sorry.Ken Blaze-USA TODAY SportsSince the Alliance of American Football folded, the Minnesota Vikings have been bringing in all sorts of players from the league, and on Monday night they added another one.NFL Draft Diamonds is reporting that the Vikings are signing defensive Karter Schult to a deal.Schult played for the Salt Lake Stallions. . .our adopted team. . .in the AAF, and wound up third in the league with seven sacks in the Stallions’ eight games.Schult went undrafted out of the University of Northern Iowa in 2017, and spent the 2017 preseason with the Cleveland Browns. The Vikings actually invited him in for a tryout during the 2018 offseason, but ultimately decided not to sign him.As you can probably gather from his sack numbers, Schult was one of the better defensive linemen in the AAF. The folks from Pro Football Focus had him graded as the seventh-best edge defender in the league with an overall grade of 81.3.Schult is now the third player from the AAF that has signed with Minnesota, joining safety Derron Smith and cornerback Duke Thomas, both of whom played for the San Antonio Commanders.There’s really no harm in the Vikings taking a flier on Schult. He’s shown the ability to get to the passer, and that’s something you can’t have enough of in this league. Will be be able to crack the Vikings’ 53-man roster? Well, we’re all going to find out.UPDATE: According to Ian Rapoport, it’s been a pretty big week for Schult. Demaryius Thomas is bracing for a trade after Denver slipped to 3-5 midway through his ninth NFL season.Thomas John Randle Jersey , the Broncos' longest-tenured player, put the odds at "50-50" that he'll be summoned into general manager John Elway's office by the trade deadline Tuesday afternoon to learn whose jersey he'll be wearing next.The Patriots and Eagles, who met in the Super Bowl nine months ago, are both thin at receiver and might be willing to take on Thomas, who has a 2019 salary cap figure of $15.53 million.Thomas is tied for the team lead with three touchdown catches. But his high salary and the emergence of rookie Courtland Sutton as a big-play threat could spell an end to Thomas' time in Denver."How would you feel at your job (if) your boss, whoever, said they wanted you someplace else? And you came into work every day and have to think about it? How would you feel?" Thomas fumed after the Broncos' 30-23 loss at Kansas City ."But I had to do it for my team, like it was normal, act like it was normal. It just kept coming up, from left and right ... I had to think about it."Thomas said nobody with the Broncos had told him if the team was entertaining offers for his services or whether he could be traded: "No, my agent told me something. That's it."Asked if he felt someone with the team should have said something to him, Thomas said http://www.thevikingslockerroom.com/authentic-cris-carter-jersey , "It should have never got out, to tell you the truth. I wouldn't even have been thinking about it if it never would have gotten out. Nobody would even be talking about it."Coach Vance Joseph insisted Monday that he's spoken with Thomas several times about the trade talk."I've talked to D.T. probably five times about this subject and he's been a great pro," Joseph said.Joseph said he's spoken to Thomas about "just the business side and the talk and the rumors. He can't walk through his day without hearing from me. That's not right. So, we've talked openly about (how) he's a good player. People want good players on their teams. So, everyone's going to want to call about four or five of our guys. So, I'm not surprised that people are calling."It's no guarantee that he's going to be moved," Joseph added. "But he gets the business side. We've communicated clearly for the last week and he's been a great pro."Joseph added that Elway hasn't communicated any Thomas trade possibility to him: "Obviously, that's John's department and I'm sure he's getting calls and he's probably making calls. But he has not. It's my job to coach the team and coach the players. That's my focus."Asked whether he's hopeful that the Broncos aren't sellers, Joseph said, "I'm not hopeful about anything, to be honest. Again, my focus is ... Tuesday's game plan Womens Chris Doleman Jersey , Wednesday's practice and the Texans on Sunday."The Broncos are usually looking to bolster their lineup at the trade deadline, not shed salary."It does not bother me," Joseph said. "Whatever we're doing here in the front office is to make us better. We want to win now and win in the future, obviously. So, whatever John's going to do between now and tomorrow at 2 o'clock is to make us better. So, I'm on board."Elway hasn't commented publicly on the possibility of trading Thomas, a first-round draft pick in 2010 who has collected 66 touchdown catches in 135 career games, including playoffs. He's served as a captain and has been a durable, consistent go-to receiver for quarterbacks Tim Tebow, Kyle Orton, Peyton Manning, Brock Osweiler Adrian Peterson Jersey , Trevor Siemian and Case Keenum.Asked if a win over the Chiefs (7-1) to get Denver to 4-4 might have helped his odds of staying in Denver, Thomas said, "Yes, sir, probably so."Chris Harris Jr. said he hopes the trade deadline passes without a deal for Thomas."I love D.T.," Harris said, "I've won a lot of games with him. So, I know I can continue to win with him."Yet, he realizes the Broncos have put themselves in this position with poor play and penalties."It's the NFL. It's all business and we're not winning," Harris said. "When you don't win, I think anything can happen."
