With the recent trouble McKinney has been in and the new owner not wanting his player involved in controversy what does everyone think of this for a trade:

McKinney and our 2nd and 3rd round pick to Miami for the 1st overall.

Or McKinney and our 1st to Miami for the 1st overall

Then with the 1st overall they could take Long DE. If the vikes still had their 1st rounder they could use that on a tackle or if they don't draft one in later rounds.

Don't know if McKinney and our 1st would be enough for Miami or not. Also with a possible suspension coming Miami may be unwilling to deal. Could throw in a conditional pick for next year if he is suspended.

If you throw out his off the field [PoorWordUsage] McKinney is actually a pretty good player, hasn't missed hardly any games in his career and doesn't give up a whole lot of sacks.

What does everyone think???

I wouldn't say he is unhappy, it's the last year of his contract. Where did you hear about him being unhappy? Is it about him not showing up to the voluntary work out session, the same one he has missed in the last 5 years?

It was on Fox 9 last night. Can't you just show good work ethic in the last year of your contract. I never now if I'm going to have a job next month so I always have to do my job. These players think they need to be extended all the time before they play the last season. I'm not saying I wouldn't sign him, cause I want him around for the rest of his career. I just think he should show and be a team leader.

He is you also have to take the source of the information, I wouldn't credit any of the news media being 100% accurate in their findings. I think he will be here long term but he shows up to the required meetings and mini-camps in shape and ready to go, this story will be tomorrows butt wipe!

Also, correct me if I am wrong - but in the NFL no contract is guaranteed except the guaranteed money. Birk goes into his last year of a contract and has a season ending injury...he is done...If there is any validity to the story I think it is Birk just worrying about his future and family...get a extension and some guaranteed money and all is happy.

I agree it is about taking care of you and your family, but he should be locked up by the Vikes...he has proven to be the most consistent player over his years that they have had in a long time and being from the metro area is another home town favorite vote...IMHO

Do you really think he has to worry about taking care of his family? Dude makes millions a year. He's making 5.3 mil this year. If that doesn't take care of your family in one year you are doing something wrong. Plus he has resturants and everything else. Like I said, I love the guy but you have to be real with these guys.

You are correct, but if we offer him an extension most of the time you dont get a huge gaurentee, so he get get a 10 yr extension and still not get any money if he gets injured.

same [PoorWordUsage] different day, anyway all pro athetes worth anything, have seperate insurance policies on themselves incase of injury, so if anyone hears that I need this due to injury they are just trying to double dip in a sense....

I disagree - I believe they do get a nice guarantee and that is the reason he wants an extension to get some more guaranteed $$. Get his $5 to $10 million or more guaranteed.

Also in a way to say to take care of his family -- yes he does have millions and the resturaunt, but he is used to a life style. Not to mention he has a Harvard degree so he is a smart man and will never have to worry about $$. But you can't fault the guy for wanting to get paid...if the team can cut him whenever that want...why can't he ask for an extension

Birk and McKinnie are still vikings today. Birk is working out with Mike Morris and will be ready for the season. He feels that he shouldn't have to ask for an extension from the team hes given it to for so long. THe vikings also don't have a reliable back up plan for Center though either...

This could definately get interesting!

First off, he is missing VOLUNTARY workouts. He is a veteran who knows what he needs to do to get ready for the season. Secondly, his durability has been suspect, as it is for most guys who have played as long as he has, so I don't think the Vikes want to WOW him with a big contract. It will work its way out and if not, hopefully that have a good backup plan.

As for the Trade mentioned at the beginning of this thread...McKinnie's position is a premium in the NFL. I don't like the idea of trading that position. Who knows how anyone of these guys in the draft will pan out. I don't like trading a proven player for a "We'll see" or "he's got the potential" type of players. I think they will sit tight at 17, I just hope Merling is still there, but we'll see.

Neither one of those McKinnie picks would happen in my opinion as Miami would get shorted big time. Using the scenario of trading McKinnie and the 2nd and 3rd round picks puts MN short about 2400 points, which is equivalent to the value between the 2nd and 3rd overall pick, which they would have to value McKinnie's value at. I'm sorry, but I can't see his value that high. Using the first round trade scenario puts the value about 2000 short which would be between pick 3 and 4. So either one of the trades puts McKinnie's "draft value" at a 1.2-1.4 pick which it just isn't.

Birk doesnt have to worry about supporting his family. For starters he owns 2 highly successful restaurants in the Twin Cities, a successful gym and to boot has a degree from Harvard to fall back on.

Anyone who makes a few million a year should never have to worry about his future or family. Birk is a smart guy and has invested his money. His family is well taken care of for years after he is gone I'm sure. I hate hearing athelets complain about not making enough to take care of their family, come live in our world for a while.

Birk and McKinnie are both over rated..don't get me wrong they are good but over rated...Mckinnie gets owned by anyone with speed and is a moron....Birk is always hurt and isn't as good as he used to be.

but good o-line players are tough to get and they are both good run blockers so we need em.

no team with half a brain would take McKinnie in a trade...especially for the 1st overall pick....anyway we won't have our first round pick after we trade it away for allen...woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
