Nofish....Incase you didn't see it the Jags put the transition tag on DeShaun Foster also.

Foster plays for the Carolina Panthers not the Jags.

Viking Update Staff - Scout.com

March 3, 2006 at 8:43am ET

* In its free agency preview, The Sporting News listed the Vikings as one of the top three potential suitors of 49ers linebacker Julian Peterson, No. 2 for those teams in the running for Eagles tackle Jon Runyan and the No. 1 choice for RB Edgerrin James.

* The Patriots are rumored to be interested in both Sam Cowart and Burleson.

* The Colts, who are expected to not be able to afford to keep Mike Vanderjagt as their kicker, have Paul Edinger on their short list of potential replacements.

* The Chiefs are expected to make a run at pass-rushing DE Lance Johnstone .

* The Cardinals might be the Vikings' top competition for guard Toniu Fonoti , who is among the top available guard free agents in the weak Class of 2006.

* Both the Rams and Packers are expected to make a run at trying to sign Brian Williams away from the Vikings.

I'd trade Edinger for Vanderhoweveryouspellit, but edinger might just turn out to be a pretty good kicker a few years from now. I would for sure take Edgerrin James, signed to a series of one year conracts with heavy performance clauses. James is still a force to be reckoned with. Having a speed back is nice but I think we still need a big, 230+ pound strong running back. This could be a good off season.

I hope whoever does the purchasing for the team this year pays attention to players that want to be part of a team though. It's been proven to many times that a team of all stars is not a team.

I read the same article about Edge coming to Minnesota--that would sure be a nice upgrade. But, I have to say that I was the most excited that we were actually listed in the article as trying to get an upgrade at some posistions. It has been many years since the Vikings went after some big names (until last year) it is fun to see and to think about what the Vikes might look like on both sides of the ball. If they bring in the two linebackers that they are talking about that would be awesome--this has always been a posistion of need!

Go Vikes!
