I'm glad it was this guy instead of that nasty PUKER.

No problem! I didn't want James Jones either, but I thought we'd pick up someone a little better than Michael Jenkins :sick: We need to spend the rest of our money on some secondary help! Or decent O-lineman. I will puke if we re-sign Ryan Cook (my least favorite Vikings player of all-time).

btw
congrats on being the quickest draw on this one lol
you are redeeming yourself

Lol thanks sir. I've been living on twitter this whole free agency.

Some actual good news from this signing. For those of you who believe in the ProFootballFocus system, Michael Jenkins was the #12 overall wide receiver last year. Targeted 69 times with 0 drops.

This is just a "meh" signing. I guess we signed him for cheap and he's familiar with Musgrave. I think we could have done better but I guess... :sick:

As I said before:

Career 100 yard receiving games:

Hank Baskett: 2, Devin Aromashodu: 1, Michael Jenkins: 0.

If you're expecting a Rice replacement, you will be very, very disappointed.

If you're expecting a Camarillo replacement? Maybe.

Not thrilled with this acquisition. Seems like a slower, taller, BB.

Hopefully he'll surprise me.

Well it looks like this is the kinda guy that needs to be brought in.......if your trying to sell BB as the teams #1 to the fan base :sick:

That was the instant comparison I made as well...not good

This would make sense if we were still looking at someone like Floyd or Edwards to replace btwice...doesn't seem like that's the plan, however.

A great run blocker so that may be part of the reason for the signing if Musgrave wants to ground and pound.

I completely agree with your comment on the secondary.. We need to improve.

Cornerbacks:
Antonio Cromartie (NYJ)
Brandon Carr (KC)
William Gay (Pit)
Chris Houston (Det)
Fabian Washington (Bal)
Roderick Hood (Ten)
Ellis Hobbs (Phi)

Safety:
Donte Whitner (Buf)
Michael Huff (Oak)
Bernard Pollard (Hou)
Gerald Sensabaugh (Dal)
Ken Hamlin (Ind)
Jordan Babineaux (Sea)

I just have a funny feeling that we'll be looking at Griffen, Abdullah, Johnson, and Cook as our secondary. I would love to be wrong.
