Been here for several days and the BUZZ here is about a huge trade that the Vikes are supposedly trying to make.
Culpapper + Smoot to Arizona Cardinals for Cards #1 pick this year + a safety on the Cards Squad + a conditional 4th round pick next year.
As people on The Warpath contemplate trades where the Skins send a second string player somewhere else for a Pro Bowl starter plus a first round pick [that trade will never happen], ponder this potential swap.
Here is a guy who made the pro bowl as a QB who was THE face of the franchise until he stunk for half of last year and then blew out his knee AND a key free agent signing just a year ago and they are both supposedly available for a first round pick this year and a safety whose name rings no bells with me and a conditional pick next year. And get this, the Minny sports radio stations are saying that the Cards don't want to part with that conditional pick next year and that is what might kill this deal!!
Translation: If a team has damaged goods it wants to move, other teams in the league know they are damaged and won't offer much in return.
