yah he would have been good for ST.. we lack it alot.. we resigned offord tho so it isnt too bad

Russell was DECENT, but they should only match the offer as long as they DO NOT overpay for him

good for russell...he will be good for that team... probably make all you naw-sayers out there eat your words... he is a good player. sorry to see him go.

I liked Russell.. i think he could have been better if he played in the D we have now.. But im happy with Sharper and i wish him the best of luck!! I like how he was an undrafted rookie too proved alot of ppl wrong that he can play solid football

Russel was solid, not spectacular. If Sharper can stay healthy I think he'll be better, that said, I wish Russel the best in Cleveland.

Oh well, you win some and you lose some...I wanted us to keep him, but with what we have gained this off-season, some losses were inevitable...I wish him well, just as long as it isn't against us!

Russell is a starter, I doubt he would have been satisfied being a backup playing for a piss poor scheme. Good move on his part.

I'm sorry to see him go too. But if he's gone now we can try to draft a rookie to plug up some holes. Maybe Carlos Rodgers.

so does that mean that we don't get any like comp pick for the loss of a RFA like the eagles always seem to get?

u wont get a comp pick b/c russell was an undrafted rookie.
i was also woundering if u get cop picks on trades? can someone awnser that?

and i dont think he left yet the vikes have 7 days to match the offer will they do it i dont no.
