is this the first FA signing for any nfl team this year?

**DanTheMan** · 03-02-2007, 12:52 AM

**Vikes_King** · 03-02-2007, 02:49 AM

yeah too bad, he added depth to our O-line

oh well, <3 cook

Well I guess they tried to low ball him.

There were talks, so it were not that they didn't want him to come back at all. Apparently Whittle just got a better offer in Toronto, I mean Buffalo.

Too Bad

Cant blame him low he did'nt much of an offer and Childress
gave Artus Hicks the starter last year without making him earn
it.

Added depth to our O-line, but if we can repalce him with someone better then I don't mind

Whittle to Bills
Sean Jensen

Backup offensive lineman Jason Whittle quickly signed a one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills.

Agent Joe Linta said the Bills immediately expressed interest in Whittle.
Whittle will get paid $720,000 next season, and he also received a $40,000 signing bonus.

Meanwhile, Linta said tackle Mike Rosenthal, whom the Vikings cut Thursday, has received several inquiries and will take a week or so to explore his options.
