...that Pat Williams is close to a deal with........



.........THE VIKES!

At least hed be out of conference.

[BuffaloRanger]

Let's see for how much.

[Jeff1220]

TC and AW must've given him a call.

[Mr. Miyagi]

TopDog will be very happy.

[R. Rich]

His performance seemed to be trailing off a bit, but he's still very effective. This would be an interesting move for the Vikes. They've been trying to build a good defense for the past few seasons, and by getting Harris in the Moss trade and if they can sign Pat, that will go a long way towards making them better defensively.

Good point Rich. And don't forget Winfield and a young Udeze at DE.

[Romes]

The problem is they are making their defense significantly stronger while making their offense worse by trading Moss. So, overall I'm not sure they will be any better.

[THATHURMANATOR]

I feel a lot better now that neither are going to the Jets.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Actually I'm not rooting against the Vikes either. They're kinda my NFC team, especially when I'm a Packer-hater.

[Sportsuser101]

I like the Vikings as well mainly because of Winfield. Yes he was overrated, overpaid last offseason but he always played hard for us and you gotta love the hits the kid made especially the 1 on Glenn.

It think it's better to be balanced than to be loaded on just one side. Case in point: The Pats have owned the Colts recently.

I (personally) like the Vikes more now that they don't have Moss

Any offense that loses a guy who has been as productive as Moss would have a dropoff after losing him. They do have the 7th overall pick, though, which will enable them to get a pretty good WR (if that's what they're going after). Imagine if they are able to draft Mike Williams to replace Moss. They'd suffer a dropoff, but it wouldn't be catastrophic.

[Ebenezer]

Vikes have so much under the cap they can just throw PW a roster bonus instead of a signing bonus and not hurt their future cap...

Same here. Now I (personally) hate the Raiders, the same way I (personally) hate the Eagles because of TO.
