Judd Zulgad, of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, reports the Minnesota Vikings likely will not re-sign impending free-agent LB Napoleon Harris.

its nice to actually have information to read the first couple days of the FA, unlike we've had in some years where we don't hear any activity on the teams behalf until a week+ in.
I love this ownership group for allowing the team to be so aggressive

Umm, the only news we have heard on the teams behalf is that they don't want Birk and that they don't want Harris. Other than the Sage trade, and Brown rumors, we haven't heard anything positive....

TJ said he is interested in us, not the other way around. We need to pounce on the Housh opportunity IMO.

Good pick to take Sapp's spot, his KR abilities a large bonus.
Looks like a Gordon type...solid guy to help out in nickel and dime coverages.
