The Vikings have reportedly traded cornerback Benny Sapp to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for veteran receiver Greg Camarillo.
This trade comes in the wake of Sidney Rice’s hip surgery that will surely keep him out of action for at least eight weeks. So let us break down what has happened here.
Let’s start with the loss [...]
The Vikings have reportedly begun to fill the void left by Sidney Rice by swinging a trade with the Miami Dolphins.
They have traded for receiver Greg Camarillo. Compensation is not yet known, but rumor has it that cornerback Benny Sapp is involved.
Camarillo has played one year with the Chargers and three with the Dolphins. Since [...]
One of the biggest concerns this time of year is whether or not a team can have successful practices without jeopardizing the health of their football team.
Today’s first practice was in full pads, and rookie running back Toby Gerhart can tell you that it was a practice that featured some good old fashioned contact. He [...]
Well, the Vikings are continuing to quietly make roster moves that will define the 2010 season. Today, news broke that the Vikings successfully negotiated a two year contract with Benny Sapp.
Sapp has played with the Vikings on two consecutive one-year contracts the past two seasons. He appeared to have to turned a corner in 2009 [...]
Well, we are now about an hour into free agency and it seems that, despite numerous statements that the Vikings wanted all of their unrestricted free agents back, they were only 20% successful on the front.
They only re-signed receiver Greg Lewis.
Chester Taylor, Jimmy Kennedy, Benny Sapp, and Artis Hicks all appear to be hitting free [...]
The Vikings have received plenty of production out of their 2009 rookie class this year.
First round pick, and offensive rookie of the year, Percy Harvin has turned out to be one of the most explosive slot receivers and return men in the NFL. Second rounder Phil Loadholt was immediately installed as the team’s starting right [...]
The Star Tribune just released a few interesting nuggets as to Sunday’s game.
First, Jamarca Sanford will be used in the same way he was used against the Giants. He will split snaps with current starter Tyrell Johnson. This is somewhat of an unusual move for a playoff team, as typically defensive players don’t just split [...]
I have to admit, ever since the Bengals game ended on Sunday I’ve been checking Chad Ochocinco’s Twitter account on a fairly regular basis.
Why?
Well, I was waiting for him to say something like this:
Adam this Sunday when I score I’m taking that loud horn from the Viking mascot and using it<–is that a fine to?
He [...]
Not much has changed since Wednesday’s injury report.
It did grow a tad, however. On Thursday Steve Hutchinson was added to the report as he was limited with a shoulder injury.
Anthony Herrera (concussion) still did not practice, but Benny Sapp (thumb/ribs) was able to participate on a limited basis after sitting out on Wednesday.
In addition to [...]
The Vikings have had relative luck with injuries so far this season (frantically knocking on wood) as they have not lost anyone for the season or even had very many serious injuries. Antoine Winfield’s foot injury has been the worst injury so far, and he is due back any day now.
The injury report features ten [...]
