Free agency

[Caesarfishinguytoo]

I guess I will go on record as saying I am glad we got Frerotte. It was obivous we were not going to get Rosenfels unless we gave up a 2nd rounder and that is too much IMO to give up for a back-up QB. We have to put our trust in TJack, who has only started like 12 games or so as a professional...Let see what he can do this year. What other QB was out there to sign (as back-up. I think that is the key here...the QB signed was going to be a back-up anyway...we all know the TJACK experience will at least be for this year...then Chilly and all of us can evaluate him and see if we need to go after a top notch QB in the draft next year or seek any possible (starting) free agent QBs to lead us next year.

I will admit I for one was not a huge TJack fan, but last year he show me a little potential...that maybe he could be a good QB..prolly will never be a great one...but there are plenty of good/avg/below avg qbs that have won a superbowl...ekhmmm (Manning/Giants)

GO VIKES!!

The last ten years of his career drops him out of the great conversation!

McKinnie gets June trial date

Vikings offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie has been given a June 2 trial date in Miami-Dade County Court on charges stemming from his Feb. 24 arrest outside a Miami nightclub.

McKinnie, who was not present at today's hearing, faces four charges, including felony battery, as the result of a fight with a member of the club's security staff.

He previously pleaded not guilty to all charges.

"We're preparing for trial and going forward with the discovery process," his attorney, Larry Kerr, said. "Other than that, I have no further comment."

McKinnie has been arrested four times since joining the Vikings in 2002 and faces a possible NFL suspension or fine under the league's personal conduct policy if the case is not dropped.

Looks like we are going to have to find a replacement for the 08 season!

[tisosy11]

easy now. He hasn't been convicted and if he gets anything it will likely be 4 games...

we can get a pretty good quality o-line player with our 2nd pick....now that DE is taken care of we should be focusing on the o-line with that 2nd.

Exactly, the line is getting older, and one player may not be playing this season! So we need to plan for that!

And just think if the Vikes would have landed Aaron Kampman a couple years ago. That would have been a fearsome foursome.

Don't give up on Robison and co. that 4th spot could come up with a lot of action when they put three on the wall and 2 on allen!!!

Holy cow, 193 int's in 10 years! He will never make the hall with them

[Badger]

I know...no way he's going to make it (doesn't deserve it)!

[walleyeking19]

does anyone know what happened to that safety from Army? did he get picked up?

[james_walleye]

He was drafted in the 6th round (i'm pretty sure it was the 6th not 7th) by the lions.

[tisosy11]

yeah drafted by lions in the 7th round. i beleive pick 217 or 218

Free agent DL Darrion Scott was arrested on Wednesday for three charges: felony assault, domestic assault, and malicious punishment of a child.

It will be awfully tough for Scott to stir up interest after this. He previously had offseason visits with the Patriots and Redskins.

Another Viking gone bad
