Thread: Restricted FAs to sign

What about trading for Faneca.
Wwe have that Pittsburgh connection now in Tomlin.
Just a suggestion.

Faneca is unhappy because he wants the BIG payday...so UNLESS the Vikings want to sign a THIRD O-linemam to a big contract, you won't see Faneca in the Purple and Gold. Not that I wouldn't love to have him as a Viking...it just doesn't seem feasible...plus I think that Faneca is a LG...and he WON'T supplant Hutch.

Our best setup would be Cook at RT and Marcus at RG with Hicks, Herrera and some young OL prospect at OT as our backups...maybe they go G or T as early as the second or third round (although I think we should draft WR with our first two picks).

[size=13pt]VIKINGS SIGN TWO VETERANS[/size]

APRIL 24, 2007

The Minnesota Vikings have signed restricted free agents RB Artose Pinner and G Anthony Herrera.

Both players have starting experience with the Vikings and have made their marks on the team during their careers. Pinner tied a Vikings record with 3 rushing TDs playing against his old Detroit teammates at Ford Field in 2006 and set a career-high with 125 rushing yards in the game. Herrera started 6 games at LG in 2005 and has worked his way from a rookie free agent to a valuable and versatile lineman who can play all 3 interior line positions.
