Cook Claims Ten Teams Call on Cutler

According to multiple reports ten teams Jay Cutler’s agent, Bus Cook, claims ten teams have called the Broncos interested in trade scenarios. There were even recent rumors of a three-way trade involving Cutler, Matt Cassell, and Jason Campbell. Currently, it is thought that a trade with the Browns, involving Derek Anderson or Brady Quinn, would [...]

The Visit List

I am going to attempt to keep an ongoing list of draft prospects that will be visiting the Vikings prior to the draft. The Vikings are allowed to bring in around 30 players for these pre-draft interviews, but out of gamesmanship (or some crap like that) the Vikings are not an organization that likes to [...]

Approaching The Draft: Wide Outs

CURRENT STATUS: The Vikings would obviously like to make an upgrade to their starting wide outs. Bernard Berrian has been a success since signing with the club last year. Sidney Rice has been plagued by injury and inconsistency. Bobby Wade seems to understand his routes better than anybody and has proved to have pretty dependable [...]

Approaching The Draft: Running Backs

CURRENT STATUS: The Vikings only have two running backs currently on the roster. However, since those two players are Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor, nobody is too worried about it. Maurice Hicks was released a while back, so there is room for the Vikings to bring in another back. It is safe to assume that [...]

Peterson Story A Lie

Yesterday we reported that Adrian Peterson and three unknown players gave Northern Iowa $150,000 to help save their football program. The source of that story was NIACC assistant coach Kevin Griffith… and he lied. He made up the whole thing! This is one of the weirdest things I’ve ever heard, but Griffith said, “I made [...]

Griffin Gets A Vote Of Confidence

Vikings cornerback Cedric Griffin was rewarded for his improved play at the end of the 2008 season. While details are not yet known, Griffin received a contract extension today. Brad Childress said, “We are glad to have Cedric as our right cornerback going forward. He is an aggressive, physical, contact football player, whose best football [...]

Approaching The Draft: Quarterbacks

My hope is that between now and the draft I will go through the Vikings roster position-by-position and give some insight as to what the Vikings could/should/might be doing on draft day. I’ll start with the offensive side of the ball and work my way through it from there. So, let’s kick it off with [...]

Reason Number 109,701 We Love Adrian

CFT reports that Adrian Peterson and three other presently unknown players have helped to save a junior college football program in Northern Iowa. Due to financial concerns, the program was about to be cut after about 65 years of tradition. Peterson and friends came together to donate nearly $150,000 to the program in order to [...]

Free Agency – What’s Left

The Vikings have been very quiet thus far in free agency. However, don’t expect them to stop looking. Here’s a quick look at a couple players that are still available that may be of interest to the Vikings… at the right price. J.P. Losman – I know, I know, the Vikings do NOT need another [...]

Tendered Tahi Gets Offer

Vikings restricted free agent fullback, Naufahu Tahi, received a tender from the Vikings in the amount of $1.01 million. That offer was out-done significantly by the Bengals as they offered Tahi $1.4 million. Because of the tender placed on Tahi, the Vikings have the right to match any offer he recieves. They have seven days [...]
