And if it happens to be us? Hopefully he plays up to it!

We paid 800k for his services last season. He more than paid that off. If you guys offer him over $1mil/per then I hope we offer him $1,000,000.01

Let the contract bidding begin!

Shaun Hill, huh?

Percy Harvin as a possibility?

This thread is so dead, I'd thought I'd throw it out there to see if anyone was around.

That caught my attention and threw me into a frenzy..

Not going to lie. A little disappointed that we aren't being a little more aggressive.

Watching Cinci sign a quality guy like Boling for nearly an identical contract than the one we idiotically gave Fusco was a real kick in the nuts.

Hopefully Spielman does a good job of finding a couple of quality value signings before the draft.

It's a move that could work out if Bridgewater can get more accurate on deep balls.

At least there's a little activity happening with the team now, after a silent start.

There is still a question mark concerning AP coming back.

Of course there is. WTF does that have to do with bringing Wallace in? It's completely irrelevant and immaterial to what you quoted.

Not really irrelevant if the Vikings are transitioning to a passing attack from a ball control running attack spearheaded by AP. This could mean AP may be on the trading block.

A move like that doesn't signal anything. It means that Patterson is in the doghouse.

Transitioning to a pass heavy attack means less carries for the RB and I'm sure AP wouldn't like that.

They needed an upgrade at WR regardless of whether AP was back or not. This has nothing to do with rushing vs passing. It has to do with the lack of progress with Patterson and lack of depth at the position. You're either trolling or clueless. I'm going to venture a guess and say you're both.

No I'm not trolling and am only trying to have a rational discussion. The Vikes might be better off acquiring a RB that is good at catching passes out of the backfield and try and trade AP for a high pick in the draft. This just makes good sense.

Like the Wallace trade, good stretch the field guy with big play potential. Jennings, Wallace, Patterson, Johnson, Wright, Rudolph, some good pieces for Teddy to work with and continue to develop.

Vikings' Mike Wallace excited for fresh start in Minnesota | FOX Sports

Happy for a fresh start, that's good news.
I figured he'd be a bit pissed to be playing in the cold..

Wallace is the guy they wanted back in 2012, but he went to Miami, so the Vikes went after Jennings.
They now got who they wanted all along. It makes it easier for AP to get into the backfield with teams having to worry about a deep pass. Jennings was more of a slot receiver, and Patterson isn't quite developing as fast as they would like.
