George Iloka and Jarius Wright tweet emojis at each other
By Dan Zinski
George Iloka and Jarius Wright tweeted emjois at each other, and it’s our job to figure out what it means.
Cincinnati Bengals safety George Iloka is a free agent this year and many people think the Minnesota Vikings should make a strong play to acquire his services.
The Vikings however are not the only team in the NFC North who could pursue Iloka. A report on Monday says the Detroit Lions may make a run at the 25-year-old safety.
This report evidently caught the attention of Vikings wide receiver Jarius Wright, who went on Twitter to send Iloka a message.
Wright tweeted emjois at Iloka, because that’s how you communicate now. Words are for suckers.
To which George Iloka replied:
No doubt, Jarius Wright would rather have Iloka as a teammate than a competitor in the same division.
But for Iloka to become Wright’s teammate, the Vikings will have to out-bid a lot of teams, including apparently the Lions.
Next: Reggie Ragland a potential target?
Iloka is young and he’s well-versed in Mike Zimmer’s system, having played for Zimmer in Cincinnati, but does that mean the Vikings should break the bank to bring him in?
The Vikings have a good defense, but clearly safety is their one big glaring hole. Signing Iloka for a ton of money would be one way to plug that hole.
