Vikings | Offset language holding up Matt Kalil deal

The Minnesota Vikings want offset language in the contract offered to first-round draft pick OT Matt Kalil, according to a source with knowledge of the negotiations. The Vikings are pushing the issue even though the player taken in front of Kalil (Cleveland Browns RB Trent Richardson) and three of the five players taken behind him have avoided the offset duty completely.

Redskins | Still have concerns about Roy Helu

Washington Redskins coaches still have some questions about RB Roy Helu. Helu struggles to consistently pick up chunks of yardage, and the team would like to see him do more than just take what’s there and be able to make something out of nothing. There also are questions about his durability. Injuries hampered Helu late last season and kept him out of most of offseason workouts. Head coach Mike Shanahan said the questions about Helu’s durability will remain until he can prove otherwise.
