Fred Smoot Update
 
Just wanted to post an article I found on Fred Smoot and his feelings about playing for the Vikings. Not saying the Skins should go out and sign the guy tommorow - just sending along an article.

Here is one tibit that I found interesting that Smoot said:

"I would love to be a Viking," he said. "But I am nobody's bench rider. Fred Smoot is a starter."

How can the Vikings keep him happy on the bench if he says this?

I love Smoot. He's solid and I miss Silky Johnson. :(

Citizens for 81 loves it when players refer to themselves in the 3rd person.

Malcolm does too. He's just a character.

If he was here during the loveboat incident, he and Portis would have gone apeshit together.

Nothing wrong with a little love boat! It brings the team together!

Damn right. I saw the Maxim spread with pics and the whole story and I'm like, "Man, I wish I WAS there." :(

I once thought it was just another warpath thread topic w/no chance of being reality. But if that article is right, there is a chance that Smoot comes back. A lot of teams would want to save $5mil in cash. Not us, but maybe the vikes.
I don't think we could guarantee him a starting job though, and that may be part of his demands.
Let's bring him back!

I think we could guarantee that, for WAY cheaper than Clements or Samuel.

TMC - I think you hit the nail there.

I believe that the Vikings owner is not like ours with massive amounts of disposable cash. I know with the huge contract Hutchinson signed he is not "cheap", but hopefully he refuses to pay a "backup" (which Smoot is not) $5 million and cut ties.

Rogers as Nickel if Springs stays sounds about right.
