This sounds interesting. I'll see if I can dig up more! Ravens draft 13th if there is any swapping picks.

Jamal Lewis: Future with Ravens Uncertain

Update: The Ravens have not yet decided whether they'll use the franchise tag on Lewis, the Baltimore Sun reports.

Recommendation: The Ravens could instead just let Lewis become an unrestricted free agent. Even if they do use the tag on him, it's possible he could get traded. One rumor has involved him going to Minnesota in a package that would net Daunte Culpepper.

ESPN 'Insider' HSOforum had this to say: "K.Robinson eyeing homecoming" I am not a paying member of this site but it was listed in their rumor central section. So who knows maybe he's headed back to Seattle. Bet he wishes he could have stayed there in the first place! I'll try to find out more info, and maybe I will become a member.

Well I joined Insider so here's the real rumor on K Robinson

Robinson eyeing homecoming

<Feb. 8> After rehabilitating his career with the Vikings last season, Robinson is now scheduled to become a free agent in March and would be interested in returning close to home and joining the Carolina Panthers, who are likely to attempt to bolster their receiving corps, the Charolotte Observer reports.

After a difficult tenure in Seattle, where the receiver was dogged by off-the-field problems, Robinson earned a trip to the Pro Bowl as a return man in his first season in Minnesota. With John Fox and the Panthers coaching staff in charge of the NFC squad, Carolina has a unique chance to get an in-depth look at Robinson this week.

"I'm going to use this week to impress them and show them the type of person I am now," Robinson said.

If memory serves me right, I believe Robinson went to college at North Carolina State. That must be what they meant when they said homecoming.

Here is a copy and paste job from ESPN:

He is scheduled to be a free agent, but the Vikings, as a part of his contract, retain a right of first refusal. That means if another team signs Robinson to a deal, Minnesota can keep him by matching it. Robinson's preference is to return to the Minnesota franchise that afforded him a second chance, even though Tice has departed and the staff headed by Brad Childress is now in place.

No matter what, Robinson said, he is in a better place in life and vocation, and he is confident things will work out.

FWIW, CNN/SI.com reported today that the Vikings currently consider Lawrence Maroney their preferred first-round pick, although they would also consider drafting LB Chad Greenway from Iowa in the first round, if he is still available when the Vikings pick.

Just wondering everybodies thoughts are. Will the Vikes will try to get this free agent: Julian Peterson LB, 6-3, 235 5yrs exp.

ESPN is ranking him the 3rd best player out there. His score is 90 out of 100. Only Shaun Alexander(93) and Edgerrin James (90) are ahead of him.

I can't wait till March 3rd!

Spend that cap money Vikes, better get a new QB. Pepper is done! Brad Johnson won't do it this year. Bears in 06 baby!!
