Napoleon Harris at MLB?

RMSkins · 02-10-2007, 01:31 PM

Looks like Napoleon Harris' contract voids this season, and it doesn't seem likely he will return to the Vikings. So how about picking him up? He probably won't be looking for a huge contract and he is a decent player.

hmmm...stats arent bad and I've seen him lay the wood Ade Jimoh style before so....maybe....

He was a big disappointment in Oakland and early in his Vikings career. But, he's supposedly been developing nicely recently. I know he's pretty athletic, but I don't know whether he's "football smart."

If we can get him at the right price bring him in here. Better than any options we have in the middle. Solid against the run. But before we go looking for FA's the FO had better do some freakin research! Must be a reason the Raiders and Vikings don't want the guy.

We need an impact player, not another Warrick Holdman type.

This sounds intriguing. He is pretty young too.

is this guy a middle linebacker? or someone else we want to convert?

yes he is a middle linebacker, but IMO hes above average at best, not great or elite. a solid player but nothing more

I liked him in college, and he had a great Rookie year in what was the Raiders super bowl year, but he hasn't done much since then. We'd probably be better off with Fletcher or Kavika Mitchell.

I don't care who we get really as long as he is willing to be a vocal leader on the field and capable of directing the other guys on defense. You know...Pierce-like. If Harris isn't this type of guy then he can go waste someone else's money.

well put, way to represent Roanoke!
GW's system seems to need the mlb to be in command of the playbook & able to voice it. I don't think that's Marshall's style as much.

Is'nt he the guy that was on the other side of the Randy Moss trade...Moss later dissed him by saying that he was "traded for someone that he had never heard of".

Hey at least he's a solid starter that is familiar with the position...that is still better than the converts we tried to throw in there this year. i say if we can get him for a little over a million a year, lets go for it.

i seriously doubt he'll go that cheap. If so, it'd be stupid not to bring him in.

If I was going after a free agent, I'd make a serious run at Vonnie Holliday, thus giving us the luxury of not HAVING to draft Branch.

It would make trading down more palatable and allow us to pick up two defensive prospects on the first day.

But Miami won't give him up without a fight.
