Vikings Gab

With Ladanian Tomlinson set to visit the Vikings tomorrow some league insiders have described the odds of the Vikings signing him as “excellent.”
There are some very interesting storylines here, and while the ones I have picked may just be the tip of the iceberg, I figured getting a jump start on the discussion would provide [...]

Artis Hicks has signed a three year deal with the Washington Redkins, marking the second day in a row that the Vikings lost a free agent to another team.
The deal is reported to be worth about $9 million and Hicks will have a chance to compete for a starting spot at right guard.
If the Vikings [...]

Chester Taylor is no longer a Viking and he has opted to sign with the Divisional Rival Chicago Bears.
His deal is reported as a four year contract worth $12.5 million. 
An interesting note is that the Star Tribune is reporting that the deal includes $7 million in guaranteed money in the first year.  This is important [...]

I think most of you have gone to bed already, but I still have another couple of hours in me so I’ll do my best to keep updating you on rumors involving free agency:

The Lions are considered the-soon-to-be-official landing spot for former Vikings receiver Nate Burleson.
The Bears are expected to offer Chester taylor something in [...]

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 [...]

A couple of rumors making the rounds right now involve the NFC North opponents as well as the Vikings.

It is rumored that the Vikings expressed interest in trading for Browns defensive tackle Corey Williams at the Combine.  Instead, Williams will be traded to the Lions.
Chester Taylor is rumored to have a contract offer with significant [...]

I have long stated that it makes sense for both parties if the Vikings and Chester Taylor separate this offseason.
Now, only days before the start of free agency, the rumor mill would lead one to believe that I may get at least one prediction correct.
PFT pointed out that Taylor’s jersey has been reduced in price [...]

At this point, any player that is released will become a target of speculation for the Vikings fans… and for pretty good reason.
The “Final Four Plan” (which goes into effect if a Collective Bargaining Agreement is not reached by March 5th) dictates that the Vikings are very limited in what they can do when it [...]

Well, I guess it is that slow time in the NFL offseason where any player released will be rumored to be heading to the Vikings.  If nothing else, this speculation gives us something to talk about during the days in which no real news-worthy events are happening.
The Chargers released running back LaDanian Tomlinson on Monday [...]

Well, I recently finished my position-by-position breakdown of the Vikings roster and how I felt they would proceed with this year’s offseason.  They are pretty in depth (I actually even did some research!) and then I made predictions for each position.
I thought it might be fun to kind of compile all of my predictions into [...]
