Houshmandzadeh to Vikes???

[Fishing_High]

Been reading on espn today that one of Zygi's planes is picking him up in Seattle for a visit to Minney.

Would be a great pick up I think.

[koonie]

We got this all covered in the Vikings offseason thread. There is a bunch of info there. You are about 16 hours late with this info.

[Fishing_High]

My Bad was excited

[koonie]

No big deal. Just wanted to let you know there was some info out there for ya. I think we're all excited. Keep your fingers crossed!

[FISHINGURU]

fingers crossed forsure....i'm getting tired of checking espn, espn news, nfl total access, yahoo sports, pioneer press, tj's notes, ect...every 10 minutes for updates lol.

ever since the free agency talks started way back i wanted us to either sign haynesworth, asomugha, or tj as our 1 big splash signing.

haynesworth was a pipe dream, asomugha could of been a real move we could of done but he resigned before hitting the market...tj is still a reality.

it don't get much closer then this...he wants to play here and we want him to play here...hopefully the rest of the pieces fall into place.

COME PLAY WITH US TJ!!!!!!!

Housha-your-mama........Championship

[theghost_03]

Still here this morning and according to espn they can't see him leaving. But we have been hearing that all weekend, whats the hold up!!! Get him signed!!!

[Sandmannd]

I heard he was still here as well, that has to be a decent sign. Saw Ziggy at the Wolves game last night, he must be here working it with these players.

[theghost_03]

Just read online at the Star Trib that he left town late last night...that can't be a good sign at all

[Flaco651]

That's not good. I'm gonna be very disappointed if he isn't inked by the Vikes.

[EBass]

Can't be good if Zig is at a t-pups game and TJ Hush is on a plane.

T Jacks has more starts than Sage. So we'll have the blind leading the blind at QB this year.

[walleyes12]

somebody go fly him back here!!!!

Breaking: Housh Headed To Seattle

Published 32 minutes ago by Joe Fortenbaugh at The National Football Post

Barring any last-second problems, free agent wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh will sign a multi-year contract with the Seattle Seahawks, according to sources close to the situation. According to the source, the Seahawks have offered close to $2 million more than the closest competitor in the

[croixflats]

What good would he be when we dont have a quarterback that can throw to him and a coach that wouldnt know how to use him.

[FISHINGURU]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[PierBridge]

Ya knew Paul Allen "C-hawks owner" was going to make it happen with his deep pockets!

[theghost_03]

Didnt we have an ample amount to work since we are under the cap so much?!!

[james_walleye]

Yeah that makes sense, lets bring him in here and offer him 2 million less than the seahawks when they already have the advantage of being close to TJ's home. Why did the vikings waste everyones time on this one?

[FISHINGURU]

horrible just horrible....why go through all that just to let him slip away cause you can't cough up a couple more mill...i bet he would of been inked saturday night or sunday morning if we would of put the money up....L A M E

we were all sitting around for days wondering whats taking so long and the whole time we weren't even matching his previous offer next to his home turf...L A M E

I have no problem with it. Yeah, TJ would have been nice, but how much money do you tie up into a pair of #2 receivers. Not to mention the fact that he's almost 32. WR go down hill fast, he won't play out his 5 year contract.

Seattle is NOT next to his home turf (LA). A plane ride is a plane ride. It's not like Birk who's from the town he played in.

[FISHINGURU]

not many guys do play out there contract these days...i'll bet you he is still playing in 5 years.

yes seattle IS next to his home turf...he's born in cali and went to college in oregon....i don't think anyone said he's playing where he's from....being "close" and "next to" are a little different.

seattle is a little closer to home then cincy or minneapolis....no?

[nofishfisherman]

I was thinking the same thing. TJ will not play out his contract. How many 36-37 year old WR's are out there? And now how many are making $10 million a year. He'll get released in 3-4 years to open up cap space. If I were a player I would go to the team offering the most garunteed money beucase thats all you are promised. The 4th and 5th years on a contract rarely mean anything for older players.
