How much cap room do the Vikings have?

[tisosy11]

Also, In regards to Berrian's high price tag...He is not guaranteed anything after the 16mill...if he is a flop or injures his leg in year 3...hes roughly a 16 mill bust and not a 42 mill bust.

The giants have reportedly offered the 31st pick in the draft for Hall. Even unhappy stud corners are worth a 1st rounder.

[FISHINGURU]

what? i thought teams don't trade 1st round picks lol

i remember hearing the giants doing that but that was before they made some moves...maybe if the giants backed out on the deal or don't need him anymore a team like us could sneak in for a 2nd....at the time only the giants and redskins were interested.

[tisosy11]

I think i would take hall for a 2nd rounder! Antoine nd Hall and all our young guys coming around!

[tisosy11]

Berrian is now only the 7th highest paid receiver...Fitz got rich!

[FISHINGURU]

well now look what is happening....the raiders are gonna sneak deangelo hall away from the falcons for a 2nd round pick...thats gonna be a nice pick up for the raiders if the deal goes through...they are close now.

[tisosy11]

yeah - a second round pick for hall would have ben nice!

[Wadinator]

We don't need another loud-mouthed troublemaker unless we'd get him for a screamin deal (like the pats and moss last year).

[tisosy11]

or a second round pick...

i do like what we have with the youngsters in the cb position!

jared allen would be a great trade move if we can get it done...he's a beast and he's young...he got franchised and is gonna be leaving kc next season so they might as well take something why they can.

Guru, if what your saying is true than why does no one trade their 1st round picks?

the vikes do...and they give up two 3rds along with it.

everything i said in this thread was true....hall went for less then a 1st and allen went for less then two 1sts....everyone thats so happy we got allen now thought i was crazy two months ago...if he gets seriously injured or gets suspended i'll eat my words...but for now i'm gonna gloat about it for a little bit lol.

all in fun guys....i'm stoked we got a guy like allen out there lined up to the williams wall.

where u at james?

[tisosy11]

Using Draft Trade Values we traded a 1st and a mid second.

I was one of the guys that didn't want to give the house away for Allen...thought we could get him for a 1st and a 3rd.

I am coming around to the idea but i'd truly like to see him play a couple years and not have a DUI sneak in...

[tisosy11]

The vikings if they couldn't work out a deal with KC would have given up 2 first...which in my opinion would have been absolutely TOO much...

I am glad that they didn't sacrifice future picks to get Allen and it could be THE piece for our defense!

[Scott K]

I also liked they didnt give up any future picks. The Vikes have a good young base to build on. Within a couple years we may just get the Trophy here in MN!

[FISHINGURU]

yeah i hear ya...i didn't want us to give up 2-1sts either but i knew it wouldn't come to that if we could get a trade and contract agreement done...i wouldn't of been mad though if it came down to doing that...glad we got him for a 1st and 2-3rds.

you just don't get dominant DE's in this league any given day...i couldn't be any happier getting allen...he was one of my favorite DE's in the league and now he's my favorite since he's on our team...that rules! i can't wait to see him own the packers tackles week 1...i hope he has a big game, gets a couple sacks and forces some fumbles lol.

Giddy up!
