It's official...Ryan Longwell Signed!

http://www.startribune.com/510/story/300677.html

solid signing, would have been nice to bring in Vinitari though

Big name FA signing there

More details:

Longwell on the move:The Vikings made the first major strike in the free-agent kicker market by reaching a five-year, $10 million deal with Packers kicker Ryan Longwell. Included in the deal is a $3 million signing bonus.

The Packers were trying to re-sign him but have now lost their kicker to an NFC North rival.

The Bucs pursued Longwell on Saturday but the Vikings stepped up and took the offer to $2 million a year and gave him a $3 million signing bonus and the deal was done.

I'm sorry but we are talking about a F*cking kicker.

woo hoo

longwell can hit the short easy field goals and he played outside atleast all the home games. heck this guy could be an awesome kicker for us. edinger couldn't hit field goals between 20-25 yards for some reason.

also im curious why longwell didn't stay with the packers? maybe it's because he knows they suck so bad?

Dang, we're giving him a ton of money. I hope he's worth it.

Dear god :violent1:

As I said in the other thread, last year he was no better than Paul E.

Shouldn't we stick to one thread though
