Excuse me for getting a little bit excited, but the re-signing of Jimmy Kennedy is a huge plus for the Vikings. Not only is Kennedy a more then capable backup, but he can fill in nicely as an occasional starter if necessary.
For the most part, Kennedy has been an NFL journeyman. But when he first [...]
NFL Network has reported that free agent defensive tackle Jimmy Kennedy has opted to return to the Vikings after visiting the Buffalo Bills.
Kennedy has reportedly signed a two year contract worth $6 million, which is a solid move for the Vikings on a few levels.
First, Pat and Kevin Williams could still face four game suspensions [...]
Vikings free agent defensive tackle is visiting the Buffalo Bills today and he spoke with reporters about his situation.
The compelte Q&A can be read here, but the most interesting quote to Vikings fans is the one that reveals that he is not a former-Viking quite yet:
Definitely. Those guys are making offers and they’re still negotiating [...]
Every time I talk about the StarCaps case, I feel like I should apologize to you all for two reasons. First, I’m fairly ignorant to the judicial process and all the little details that go along with it. Second, all I really care about is knowing whether or not Kevin and Pat Williams will be [...]
I’ll openly admit to you all that I do not like writing about the StarCaps case that pits the NFL versus Pat and Kevin Williams. One big reason for that is because it is not the bright and shiny type of news that is fun to cover, such as the NFL Draft. Mostly, however, it [...]
Did you know there are actually two sequals to “The Never Ending Story?”
Now they’re working on a re-make of the original. I have to admit, I’m kind of excited.

With every day that passed, I grew more and more confident that Pat Williams would return to the Vikings in 2010. Today, Williams’ agent confirmed that he plans to play in 2010 via a report from the Pioneer Press.
This is great news for the Vikings, as they will have one less pressing need to address [...]
I am going to keep plugging away at these position-by-position breakdowns. I did want to give everyone a quick warning though. The offseason is about to heat up, so these may become outdated rather quickly. I write these in advance and then schedule them to be unveiled one day at a time, so sometimes they [...]
Defensive Tackle is thought to be one of the Vikings top offseason priorities because of the likelihood that Pat Williams will retire soon, and because Fred Evans and Jimmy Kennedy are both at the end of their contracts.
However, just as I was starting to say to myself that Pat Williams would have announced his retirement [...]
There are a few offseason moves that could happen very quickly. Here are some things we will be watching for over the following weeks:
