He's been seen as more of a rush player; an under-tackle sort when he was getting some positive press. A lazy, indifferent tweener who didn't have the speed for edge or bulk for DT when is getting LESS positive press. The Vikings actually had two really good run defending DTs last season with Bullard and Phillips. Tillery was brought in as a rotational pass rusher from the interior. And ended up losing snaps as the season progressed to Jalen Redmond who was a pretty jaggy UDFA. Ultimately he's just something of a tease and has been most of his career. He's pretty much survived this long on draft status and the occasional flashes of good play. He looked like a pretty credible 'third year breakout' sort of player back with the Chargers (when most of us became familiar with him and he built his reputation). But he regressed the following season, got dumped, hasn't really rebounded from that level since. I wouldn't expect much from him. Maybe he puts it together after 6-7 years in the league in his late 20s...but he'd be a pretty rare occurrence in that regard.

What a strange saga for that guy
He was a rising star, then somehow instantly plateaued and fell off his own cliff Last edited by Easy 6; 03-14-2025 at 02:39 PM.. |

Waste talent? He's done that really well for the majority of his career. He's a guy that should be good. He's always had the tools going back to ND. He just rarely actually is. He's the sort of player you just really get bummed out by because there's Pro Bowl talent there but he's sort of a stupid dickhead that can't get out of his own way and doesn't seem to want to put in the work to make himself as good as he should be. Meanwhile someone like Wharton just worked his way into a $54 million deal. And still Tillery won't figure it out.

DL market is very thin unless they're praying Omenihu comes back.

I mean...maybe don't throw $6 million worth of contract tenders at Nazeeh Johnson and Jack Cochrane?
Could've helped you in that 2nd wave of FA...

Teir Tart signed for $5.5 million.
Would you rather have Cochran, Johnson and Tillery or Tart? I know I'd rather have the latter. Lopez, Onwuzurike, Seb Joseph, Rankins -- all guys that would've fit in that same salary slot. This team just doesn't seem to give a shit about DT2. And every season their 4-man rush seems to kinda suck. Weird.

DJ is right. He's a career underperformer. We can only hope that playing with Spags and Jones make it "click" for him.
