saloonsoftball76 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 If Carolina becomes convinced it can't re-sign Julius Peppers, who becomes an unrestricted free agent next year and wants a boatload of money, and if the Vikings are willing to part with their first-round (No. 17) draft pick next month plus at least $20 million in guaranteed money, Minnesota might be able to trade for the star defensive end. -- Pioneer Press This would rock......Superbowl Homeboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zamboni Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I wouldn't give up a 1st round pick for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born2Fish Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I might give up the first rounder, but I also do not see it happening. How many times have we seen that we almost went out and did something like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott M Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 That's funny because I signed him as a free agent in Madden 06, simulated the season and the Vikings won the Super Bowl (This was like year 3 of running my franchise mode).I'd like to see him but I'd like to get one of the good OT's in the draft. He'll get a nice deal somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koonie Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 It would take more than a first round pick to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FISHINGURU Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 i would give up the 1st round pick in a heartbeat...if we could sign him for a few yrs....i wouldn't want to give up the 1st round pick and lose him next season though...we'd have a chance at a superbowl adding peppers i know that much.

maros91 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Probably not going to happen. Why would Carolina let arguably the top DE in the league go? They will sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FISHINGURU Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 they'll let him go because if they can't get a new deal done with him they lose him next yr anyway....so they can get a 1st round pick and not have to pay peppers his big money and rebuild from there....plus if we got the money and are willing to give up a pick he might rather play for us...i'd say right now we got a better shot at getting farther then the panthers...especially if we get peppers.

Born2Fish Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I think we do have one with the last name Jackson. Unless my eyes are fooling me, I think he might even be our starter! I don't see any other QB that is out there right now thats available that can really step up and help us out anyway. Like has been said about 100 times now, lets see what he can do this year. We have a few WR's that just might help him out with numbers. And a running game that we all know can get the job done. I am liking the Peppers thought more and more now. I also think they are going to let him go and I think we have the push to get him in here. Peppers,Williams,Williams....Wow thats a defensive line to be VERY afraid of!!

Jim Uran Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I'd take Peppers for a 1st rounder and some cash. We could use him that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tisosy11 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 peppers would be great...man we are getting depth at positions but i would like to see a solid DE or something...I see us getting a cut qb mid training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caesarfishinguytoo Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 McKinnie Trade?If the Vikings are serious about moving Bryant McKinnie , they probably would have several suitors. Although he could face a suspension because of this incident � NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has the authority to punish players, even without guilty pleas � McKinnie plays a high-demand position, he's 28, he's extremely durable (87 consecutive starts), and he's relatively cheap (his base salary is less than $5 million through 2011). In fact, there has been speculation that the Vikings have discussed a trade with the Carolina Panthers. Among the players rumored to be discussed: defensive end Julius Peppers and offensive tackle Jordan Gross. -- Pioneer Press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott K Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Exactly! If we traded him, then we would have to find someone good to fill his spot. We need the best possible if we are going to give T-Jack a legit shot this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tisosy11 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 McKinnie trade bait wouldn't be too bad...i'd hope someone would over pay for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
