Oh man what a great tactic! wtf why didnt dannyboy think of this first?

Wow. We are witnessing the beginnings of a real viscious rivalry here! Do they play each other next season?

I say new Vikings owner Zygi "triangle of authority" Wilf is going to tank his team. First losing Culpepper and this.

not standing in the way of the randy moss trade didn't help either. He said he wanted to keep him, but obviously he wasn't loud enough.

He didn't officially own the team when moss was traded.

I know, but as the buyer he definately had an ear to talk to. He could have offered a couple million more if randy was on the roster or whatnot.

the only think stupider (yeah, its a made up word, what you gonna do?) than signing julian peterson at 8$mill a year is signing burleson at 7$mill a year.

i have NO idea what they're thinking, but they could have gotten peterson and burleson for less and also gotten good players earlier on if they didn't wait so long to start making calls.

wow, talk about overpaying for a player, the media would have a freaking field day if the Skins were the one signing Burleson

i agree. No way Nate Burleson is worth 49 million. Who'd you rather have, Nate Burleson or Steve Hutchinson? Like Matty said, if this was the redskins, every media outlet would be talking about how they overpaid, but since it's not, it goes virtually unmentioned.

I like Burleson. I think we paid a lot for a #2 receiver also.
