T Jack

The Vikings have extended a third-round tender to restricted free agent Tarvaris Jackson.

The club didn't deem Jackson valuable enough for a true second-round tender, so he's available to sign via offer sheet for just a third-rounder in return. In our opinion, teams would be foolish to give up such a pick considering his decision making and accuracy woes, but QBs are hard to come by and Jackson's athleticism/arm strength combine may appeal to desperate teams.

ROFL!

Crow anyone?

Sounds like a great over-all business decision for the Vikes!

And about what we thought he was worth as far as compensation goes.

[rayguy]

# 4 leaves and Tjack is picked up by someone that leaves us up the creek. Sage had better be the guy if that happens.

[zepman]

TJack is easily replaceable. He's one of 50 or so back-ups that are all interchangable.

[Scott K]

I think we will be using our 1st or 2nd round pick for a QB this year.

I bet you wont see the TJack backers on this thread!

I bet more then Favre!

That's a very good move by the Vikes.

They can either get a bargain contract by matching the contract/price "some team is willing to pay knowing they will be giving up their third round pick for T-Jack as well" or let him go for a third round pick if some team overpays for T-Jack.

[Scott K]

Or, nobody will sign him, and he just disappears like a fart in the wind

There has already been two.

1.2 Million not bad eh?

[Scott K]

1.2 million? what?

[Rick]

$$$$$$$1.2 million

Not bad for a fart in the wind.

[Jim Uran]

Let him go, he may be good somewhere else in a different style offense, he's got the athleticism for it no doubt about that.

[walleyes12]

Thats a good sign the Vikes have a feeling that #4 is coming back!

[koonie]

If somebody would sign him that would be great. That extra third rounder could help us trade up this year or next for Favres eventual replacement.

The quarterback crop this year isn't very good. Bradford and Clausen are going to be out of reach. The others all have at least one glaring weakness. Next years crop of quarterbacks will be MUCH BETTER. Only problem is if we wait we will really be pushing our luck. Sage may have to handle the first year while the rookie sits and watches.

[FISHINGURU]

LOL, all you can do is laugh!! Get the Junk out of town and lets look for the REAL future of the franchise.

[zepman]

I agree but I don't think that person is in the draft this year.

[klecker]

Just sign David Carr

[LMITOUT]

Cawwwww Cawwwwww

[james_walleye]

I understand the QB crop might on paper not be great, but if the vikings have someone they like in the 2nd or 3rd they will pull the trigger. Whats to say where the vikings draft position will be next year?? Most likely won't be at the top of the draft again so you will be in the same boat next season, drafting a QB that isnt at the top of the list.
