The Jets and the Vikings have a history of competing for the same players.
Remember when Mike Tice called Antoine Winfield’s wife when he learned that Winfield was all but a done deal in New York? He knew that Winfield’s wife was not thrilled about living in New York and Tice raved about how nice life [...]
Many of you wondered if the Vikings might make a play for a veteran cornerback in the weeks approaching the draft. With Cedric Griffin’s ACL injury, Antoine Winfield’s contract de-escalator, Karl Paymah’s departure to San Francisco, and Asher Allen’s unknown skill level it would not have been surprising to go after a cornerback.
Two names that [...]
After spending a day in Florida (I’ll get to that later), members of the Vikings staff are expected to be in attendance for Virginia’s pro day.

Now, only a few [...]
Access Vikings reports that Antoine Winfield that Antoine Winfield will see a foot specialist during the offseason.
In related news, Vikings Gab reports that every Vikings fan wants to know why the hell he didn’t see a foot specialist, like say, 8 weeks ago.
Winfield hurt injured his foot way back in week six against the Ravens. [...]
Cedric Griffin is coming off of easily his best season of his career.
Over the last year and a half, Griffin has improved to the point where he is getting a name for himself as a great tackling corner, and had a career high four interceptions in 2009.
There will be a set back, however, as Griffin [...]
I have to admit, while I am incredibly disappointed that the Vikings season ended one game short of their goal, I am an offseason junky that loves nothing more than to speculate on what moves the Vikings should make.
Before addressing free agency and the draft, I want to introduce you to a list I keep [...]
I know that nobody here wants to see any Vikings players suit up for the Pro Bowl, because that would mean something very sad happens this coming Sunday.
It is noteworthy, however, that Antoine Winfield has been added to the NFC Pro Bowl Roster after Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie suffered an injury last weekend.
