hmm, "wants to complete a deal very quickly" i guess that means were close to a deal with him

id rather have douglas..he can at least contribute more in terms of tackles, with the same sack production

Wow, 7 year vet and he's only played one full year.
Yikes.

The Vikings continue to negotiate a potential contract with defensive lineman Ellis Wyms, but considering that Wyms likely isn't viewed as a starter, some are beginning to wonder what is holding up the negotiations?

Hmmm. Honestly haven't even heard of him before.
Definitely just looking to add depth if we pick him up.
Maybe that says something about the FO's confidence in Robison and Edwards this year...

He probably wants starter money.

very very likely.... and being a backup means that he rates himself very highly indeed. I'd rather take an undrafted DT and work with that instead.
