8. I think next October we'll all be writing, "Wow. I never thought the biggest impact player in free agency would be Chester Taylor with the Vikings." Prediction: Chester Taylor outgains Edgerrin James in 2006

this guy usually knows what hes talking about.not to mention hes one of the hall of fame voters

Good God, it's last offseason all over again.

That Taylor prediction would be nice, but I hope he is wrong on the Hutchinson situation... I wish that when a transition player gets an offer from another team, and his current team matches the offer, that the player had the final choice where he plays. Now that would be ultimate free agency.

I know, then why would there be transition and franchise tags anyway. It just would be nice to see it that way. In Brian Williams case, he wasn't happy with the Vikes anymore, and didn't want to be here.. They have no control if the are slapped with either tag, unless they pull a Alexander. The player should have the ultimate choice where he wants to play, especially if several teams are pitching for his services.

Thats cool. Hopefully he is right, unless Edge only gains 300 yards, lol

His logic with the hutchenson situation is interesting

Is this screen wide because you have 2 sigs right next to each other? If so, try putting them above each other..

Who cares about who rushes for what yardage? Let's just win some gol 'darnit football games.

I bet if it was Darrin Nelson you would care!

Zing!

Sorry about the double post earlier.

Taylor's average Yards/rush is pretty sweet. 4.2 last season, 4.3 overall. And, if we get Hutch, running to the left will be oh so sweet.

I refuse to place much faith in articles like this.. They're entirely speculative. Sure King has to write SOMETHING so he gets paid, but let's not get ahead of ourselves, the season doesn't start for another 7 months, a LOT can happen in 7 months.

(But here's hoping he's wrong about Hutchinson and right about Chester Taylor :razz
