I like what the Vikings have be doing so far in FA. I do not expect too much out of them next year. I say anywhere from 8-8 to 10-6. I say save as much FA money as you can until next year and then I think we can again start making some noise.
The FA pool this year is not as good as it has been in recent years. I think better talent will be available next year. You must admit there are not very many "super" stars in the FA pool this year.
How you say you're doing well in FA and in the same message you say you agree saving the cash till next year...
I did not say they are doing well, only that I like what they have done so far. And that is not over paying for talent that is not there. The free agents that are available are not worth the money they are asking for.
you cant wait til next year WHAT IF DC breaks his leg next year! there are lots of good fa out there d starks j johnson glenn could have been had for a 4th round draft pick
vikings are blowing it what happens next year who knows SD has been waiting for next year when they will be good for 9 years HEY WIN NOW
GB is doing the right thing instead of signing 9 below average players for a million each s
you sign 3 stars for 3 milluon each
next year is for losers DG REBUILT AND WON AT THE SAME TIME
we had the most cap room in the nfl this year THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!! and we sign mixon crockett and chavous>>>>>>>>
texans have 2 better cbs then we have
lets see we got a slow cb from ariz that might have to move to S IF he can play there and ARIZ got duane starks
plus all the money we re wasting now WILL PREVENT US FROM SIGNING PLAYERS who will get released this year
MCKARDELL is better then bates pathon etc i mean bates got 15 passes in 3 years the texans might have a better record then use next year
the vikes had the most fa money and they are not spending it the right way
Looking for WR to play with Rufus French and Terry Glenn. Must be at least 5'6" / 145 lbs. Div III exp. ok, but DIV I preferred. No NFL experience necessary, will train.
Will play with future HOF QB. Must be willing to take blame when blame isn't warranted. Must be willing to experience losing as well as tolerate unknowledgable drunken fans. Must be willing to relocate to the armpit of the Midwest, Green Bay, Wi.
We are going to be paying a lot of attention to the Vikings this year. They still have some moves to make, but you have to like the way Mike Tice is talking. Their season opener is a rematch of an early disaster in Chicago but then comes a four-game stretch against Buffalo, Carolina, Seattle and Detroit, with only the Seahawks on the road. If the Vikings get a head of steam going, watch out.
no friggin way. i thought you were sharper than that. you would seriously need to ponder that scenario? really? really?!?
you should be in the vikes' front office, because you would fit right in: let griffith ANDcarter go, then raise your fist in "victory" over the chavous signing. unbelievable. simply unbelievable.
the best game you'll be seeing any vikings play, will be the plastic vibrating onesin your basement. the PSII ones are too realistic...they stink up the field, just like their real life counterparts.
The Purple People-Eaters were 0-4 in Super Bowl games, including at least two where they probably had the superior team. But the worst chokes for the Vikes were a couple of times they failed to reach the Super Bowl: In 1998, when they were 15-1 but lost the NFC title game to the Falcons, and in 2000, when they lost the NFC title game to the underdog New York Giants by an embarrassing score of 41-0.
alot of nice pix: the shark, kwan, and your fave WR, moss. welcome to the puke-out club, randy! why sell snickers in the playoffs, when the vikes hand them out all game long?
As the Vikings are slowly making the transition from adding free agents to concentrating on the NFL draft on April 20-21, they aren't expecting much in the line of compensatory picks.
The NFL is going to announce next week what teams will get compensatory picks and, while the Vikings may not be in for much of a windfall this year, the team is already preparing for a huge boost in picks next season.
The NFL gives out compensatory picks related to the number of free agents a team lost the previous year. While the Vikings didn't lose a lot of free agents other than Dwayne Rudd and Tony Williams -- their high-ticket free agents were the result of cuts like Todd Steussie and John Randle, which aren't subject to compensation.
That will change next year. Robert Griffith and Kailee Wong are viewed as tier one free agents and the team has also lost Dale Carter and Jake Reed to free agency. With three starters and a key backup off the team, the Vikings are in line to get some high compensatory picks next year, which could prompt a deal including next year's picks, since the team knows it will have additional picks to move.
SATURDAY NOTES
While the Vikings are in the process of winding down free agency, the team is still confident it will get TE Hunter Goodwin and CB Fred Vinson signed in the next week.
The Chiefs signing of WR Johnnie Morton adds another name to the list of players that will be available after June 1. The Vikings may well have an interest in one of the cap-casualty wide receivers that could hit the market, including Kansas City's Derrick Alexander, Jacksonville's Keenan McCardell and Chicago's Marcus Robinson.
Cris Carter is making no progress toward getting a contract signed with Miami and word is coming out that he is seriously contemplating retirement instead of continuing to seek a contact...at least for now.
Miami has joined Indianapolis and St. Louis as teams with an interest in signing former Viking Mitch Berger.
Offensive lineman Lewis Kelly is making quite an impression in NFL Europe and the Vikings are confident when he finishes his season there, he will be a big OL contributor with the Vikings next season.
The Vikings are making their lists and checking them twice, as players continue to move up the draft board for the April 20 college draft.
The hallways of Winter Park are pretty silent today, as coaches and staff are taking the Easter weekend off, but it doesn't mean that work is being completely ignored.
The Vikings draft strategists are at work in the second phase of the draft planning. While the word is that the coaches and scouts have ranked players by position, now comes the time to start cross-comparisons to come up with the rankings of players regardless of position.
That is where the disagreements are starting to emerge, as different personnel people have differing opinions on players.
Perhaps no player is more indicative of that than DT Albert Haynesworth of Tennessee. After spending most of February and early March climbing up teams' draft boards, Hayneworth had a lackluster performance at the Volunteers' Pro Day workout, showing little in the way of functional weight-lifting strength -- often used as a main criterion when evaluating defensive and offensive linemen.
While some in the organization are telling us they are very interested in Haynesworth, others are expressing some doubts that he can be the real deal. But, there are other players who have emerged in the picture for the Vikes too.
Perhaps the most intriguing is whether somebody will make a trade to move ahead of the Vikings at No. 7. Houston has already begun talking to QB David Carr and Carolina looks to have Julius Peppers in their sights. After that, it gets a little cloudy.
At No. 3, some draft analysts have the Lions taking CB Quentin Jammer, S Roy Williams or QB Joey Harrington. Buffalo could also be in the running for Harrington, but, if Buffalo signs Jeff Blake or trades for Drew Bledsoe, it seems apparent that both the Bills and San Diego at No. 5 will take big offensive tackles Bryant McKinnie and Mike Williams.
If the latter scenario happens, it will take OT off the board for the Vikings with their first pick and could lead to a whirlwind of trade calls, since Mike Tice has said straight out he will listen to any trade offers to stockpile draft picks.
With Dallas at No. 6, barring a trade, the Cowboys will likely grab secondary help -- either Jammer or Williams -- or a big defensive tackle to line up next to free agent signee La'Roi Glover, leaving the Vikings with a number of choices.
If Mike Williams or McKinnie should somehow fall to the Vikings, early indications are that the team would go in that direction. Roy Williams or Jammer would also be attactive alternatives. Defensive tackle is also a very real option, with Haynesworth, Tennesee teammate John Henderson, Wisconsin's Wendell Bryant and North Carolina's Ryan Sims are all possibilities.
And a new name has entered the discussion -- Tennessee WR Donte Stallworth. If the Bears match the Vikings offer for D'Wayne Bates (see below), the Vikings will consider looking at wide receiver and getting their choice of potential game-breakers and Stallworth leads that list -- the Vikings are very impressed with his skills.
What does it all mean? As we enter the final three weeks before the draft, the Vikings are still far away from locking in on any player at No. 7 and will still be listening to trade offers.
EASTER SUNDAY NOTES
The Bears have until Wednesday to match the Vikings three-year, $2.85 million offer sheet to Bates and from what we're hearing out of Chicago, while no decision has been made yet, the Bears are leaning heavily toward matching the deal. The rationale is that the team is concerned about the size of oft-injured WR Marcus Robinson's contract and that signing Bates can give the Bears the leverage to talk tough about lowering Robinson's cap number and, if he balks at a lower salary, he could be released June 1 and Bates climbs up the depth chart. The Vikings didn't put a "poison pill" in the contract -- which pays a big amount of a contract in the first year to deter teams from matching offers -- and the Bears have adequate cap space to afford the deal, which is set to pay Bates $1.1 million this year.
In an on-line poll of Bears fans in a Chicago newspaper over the weekend, of the 4,700 respondents to a poll asking if the Bears should match the offer on Bates, only 55 percent think the Bears should meet the offer sheet.
While the Vikings are hoping to sign punter Matt Turk, Miami is still in hot pursuit and Turk isn't sitting still. He visited the New York Jets on Friday.
The Rams have offered Mitch Berger a one-year contract, but he has yet to accept or reject the deal. Instead, he's going to visit Tampa Bay this week and is expecting an offer from the Indianapolis Colts as well.
Injuries and player mistakes cost us those 2 games not DG do you blame Bud Grant for the 4 sb losses WHY DO YOU THINK WE WERE IN THOSE GAME
DG is one of the top coaches in NFL history in a 10 year period in which the SYSTEM OF CAP/FA was designed to destroy good teams he took us to 4 division titles and 8 playoff years HE HAD ONE LOSING SEASON IN 10 years and that was caused by the hardest schedule in 20 years death of best o lineman and beloved leader and the retirement of r smith WISE UP DONT ACT STUPID DG is one of the top 7 coaches in history he has won 2 nfl coach of the year awards AND AN NCAA COACH Of the year award HE HAS 2 SB rings DG is a winner and the dumba$$es like you are the reason he left and TICE HAS DONE NOTHING RIGHT NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1) He hired a guy who committed fraud and just happened to be his school coach to coach D LINE what does this guy know about D LINE i hope he remebers from all those years of being a head coach Fraud
2) this hiring meant moving our great dline coach to lb what does he know about lb
3) he hire a small college coach to design our offence a guy with no credentials
4) he kept willie shaw i mean the defence wasnt that improved he could have had m lewis or someone like that sheesh
5) he made strategic announcements like moss will get the ball all the time (he cant if hes double covered) and the 8 in the box rule for deciding when to run or pass EVERYONE KNOWS THIS is he dumb or what
6) he attacked DC who's biggest problem is not learning the game as tice suggested BUT THE FACT THE O LINE which is tice speciality STUNK STUNK SO BAD he got hurt MAYBE TICE DOESNT KNOW HOW TO COACH O LINE unless he has at least 3 or 4 all pros on the line at all times
7) He slapped bennett in the face and made a fool of himself going after R SMITH like he would unretire
8) he signed chavous who is too slow to be a cb and is not a S arizona replaced him with d starks by the way --- crockett is a barely average player and mixon is barely average he got 2 sacks a year playing with great mia line the chi wr is a bust and bromwell has nothing >>> (this only makes sense if he did it so chi cuts robinson so we can sign him - - 9) the suite against tice alleges he was the one who forced kory to keep practicing and made fun of him if this is proven in court how can you have a head coach who killed a player on th team --- insane
10) tice can talk the talk but can he walk the talk dg did DG MADE THE PLAYOFFS AS MANY TIMES ON HIS OWN AS GB DID IN 33 YEARS think about that
If Tice cant coach he can be fired and this team will still have a ton of talent UNLESS THEY BLOW THE DRAFT and the REST OF FA -
1 DRAFT these players if they drop to us PEPPERS MCKINNIE MIKE WILLIAMS (tice said bad things about williams) okay real simple DONT DRAFT a WR or S or HENDERSON or SIMS or HAYNSWORTH
you can draft BRYANT JAMMER or BUCHANON
with one of our top 2 picks TAKE AN OT anyone of PEARSON JONES COLOMBO
2) STOP SIGNING NO NAME FAs wait for the cuts GUYS LIKE MCRARY AND MCCARDELL are going to be there and can be had cheap WAIT WAIT WAIT
we have "depth" on dl in secondary and lb with the fas we got NOW LETS DRAFT AND SIGN REAL PLAYERS AS FAs there are NTs out there like sam adams and grady jackson taht can be signed and good lbs
JUST WAIT if this team loads up in the draft BRYANT/BUCHANON/WILLIAMS and at #2 PEARSON/WEAVER we will have o line depth with kelly and d line depth WE CAN SIGN A CB like abrahams a real player ------------------ we could easily have a ton of good players and no excuse for losing ------------
the only thing then will be can tice coach and we will find out real quick if he is a phoney and if he is he can be fired and we will still have the talent base to recover
BUT THE VIKES NEED TO PICK THE RIGHT PLAYERS IN THE DRAFT and TO SIGN THE GOOD FAs that get cut and there will be a ton all is lost GB has lost some players and their weakness is at qb DET is run by a guy who can talk the talk but cant walk the talk a real phoney dumb guy in millen and chi smells like the typical one year wonder team ready to fall THEY HAD INCREDIBLE LUCK last year
there are still 3 good lbs out there and 2 big good DT not to mention some secondary help
these are the kinds of guys n e signed last year we need to do the same this year we are so close to making the playoffs and once in there anything goes

Great counter attack Sgt. Machias !
Great shots, Bud...
And, BTW, I think Denny Green was responsible for those choke jobs in '98 and 2000.
In big games, he was a frigging joke!
