Thread: Withrow?

Just wondering if anyone knows what the deal is with Cory Withrow. I think he's a great backup, but it doesn't sound like he'll be back next year. Any news on the Vikes trying to sign him or any other backup centres?

I havent heard much either. I hope he's back next season.

I heard he had a little visit with our old friend, Cardinal Foe Dennis Green!

Ya, I don't know why the Vikes aren't trying to keep him he's a great backup for Birk, and could possibly start at guard in the next few seasons after Dixon is gone.

He doesn't want to be a backup. He wouldn't start anywhere next year. Plain and simple.

I dunno I've heard there are a few teams that consider him good enough to start.

He is definately good enough to start somewhere, just not here. I think that if Dixon were to retire he would be one of the first in line to take over. The fact is that if he wants to play on this team he is gonna have to be able to move to different spots on the OL because center is Birk's spot, and will be for many years to come.

P.S_Congradulations to myself for my 200th post.

Withrow has turned down a vet minimum offer from the Cards.

My guess is that Denny wouldn't/couldn't guarantee him the starting gig, that he would have to earn it. In Minnesota, he knows he plays behind Birk.

For the same money, my guess is he'd rather be on a winner than potentially riding the pine on a train wreck. I'm betting he'll still be in purple in 04.

just proves denny's stupidity and arogance. withrow could start at center for over half the teams in the league, let alone an xfl team like the cardinals...
