Mankato, MN (Sports Network) - The Minnesota Vikings and Kansas City Chiefs have been accused by the NFL Players Association, claiming the teams may have engaged in collusion while negotiating contracts with their first-round draft picks.
The union states that the Minnesota and Kansas City franchise may have had illegal knowledge of the signing bonus offered to a player chosen after the Chiefs picked Ryan Sims with the sixth selection and Bryant McKinnie was chosen seventh by the Vikings.

I think that if a rookie won't take any reasonable offer he should sit. IMO the Vikings are doing the right thing. Let McKinnie sit.
