If we get rid of that WCO, then maybe they will come.
Out of the 4 WR we were supposedly looking at, none of them came to sign with us.
What does that tell you.
Now, we definitely have to get a WR in the first round.
We are going to have to make that leap up in the draft order.

is it safe to say yet that minnesota this offseason just wasnt an attractive place to play..we reportedly offered the most money, and he still wanted nothing to do with us..alotta guys just didnt want to come here

McNabb or TJack?
Really it is a no brainer for a WR looking for a playoff team.

Maybe we will see Minny get a little more active now since the money offered to Curtis is freed up.

I could see why you would think that. And maybe it's true to the extent that we haven't seen the last signing yet.

However, don't expect too much. There seriously isn't much talent available to spend that money on.

Trust me I am not expecting anything major.
Just a few small fill in the holes signings.
Guys like Ian Scott and hopefully a right guard.

They way overspent. 32 million and 7 gauranteed. I'm glad we didn't waste that much on this guy. That kind of money for a #3?? ??? Can you say desperate?

You all are missing the whole point. . . our offseason strategy this year is to get the first draft pick next year!

"Second place means nothing in free agency, so it should come as little consolation that the Vikings were announced as the second choice of wide receiver Kevin Curtis. Terms of the six-year, $32 million deal Curtis signed with the Eagles Thursday include $9.5 million in guaranteed money, $1 million escalators in the final two years of the deal tied into reachable reception numbers, $7 million up front money ($2 million tied into a signing bonus and $5 million as a roster bonus that comes off the books after the 2007 season and a $1.5 million roster bonus due next March. His base salary for the first two years of the deal are $1 million in 2007 and $1.5 million in 2008 – both numbers that are guaranteed. Curtis’ new representation admitted that his decision came down to the Vikings and Eagles, adding that the Vikings made an offer competitive to the one he signed with the Eagles.
* Could religion have played a factor in Curtis’ decision? According to reports coming out of Philadelphia, one of the comfort levels Curtis had with the Eagles is that both he and Eagles coach Andy Reid are of the Mormon faith."
