    I don't think there will be a bidding war. I agree with Shadow.

    From Rotoworld...

    "The Minneapolis Star-Tribune does not expect the Vikings to show interest in Chad Pennington.

    Pennington, who will be cut this afternoon, might be a poor fit in an offense that starts two vertical threats at receiver because of his weak arm. The Dolphins, Packers, Chiefs, and possibly the Bears seem most likely to pursue him."

    Plus, Miami's head coach has already said they're not interested in Bad Chad. Of course, that is most likely BS.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

      A while back, we had a thread called "Trading Partners?".
      Looked for it, but could not locate it.
      Is there an efficient way to locate it?

          Pennington isn't coming to the pack. Pennington like any other former starting QB wants the opportunity to compete for the starting role.

          I think we have firmly established that competing for the qb role on the pack isn't going to happen. And, why would we want to open up this team to a qb controversy.

            You might be right. Maybe Pennington will sign with the Dolphins just for spite...you know, like Favre wanted to sign with the Vikings.

              If we're going to pick up a scrap heap QB to be the backup this year, I'd much rather have Chris Simms.

                Simms is a capable QB. If he gets released from the Bucs I'd love to have him as our #2.

                  The Bears are out of the running. And, if you believe the Dophins' head coach, the market for Pennington has dwindled to one: the KC Chiefs. (And possibly TT.)

                  From Rotoworld:


                  The Bears are unlikely to pursue free agent Chad Pennington, according to the Chicago Sun Times.

                  Chicago is the most stubbornly loyal organization in the league and has committed to the winner of Kyle Orton-Rex Grossman. The Bears came out publicly saying they didn't want Brett Favre, and Pennington is obviously a lesser QB. NFL Network's Adam Schefter calls Miami and K.C. the favorites to land Pennington.

                    It's a shame nobody appears to want a noodle-armed QB.

                      If KC drops out of the bidding, TT will be able to sign Pennington and still be $30-million under the salary cap.

                        TT should be able to get Pennington for $50 and a pouch of Big League Chew.

                          TT is shrewd.

                            Chiefs are now out of the running, leaving only TT (and the Dolphins if their head coach is a lier).

                            From Rotoworld:

                            The Chiefs reportedly believe that free agent Chad Pennington will sign with the Dolphins.

                            The Chiefs would only view Pennington as a backup for Brodie Croyle, which essentially proves they want to lose as many games as possible this season. The Dolphins could offer Pennington a strong chance to start.

                              It's already been reported that the Packers have no interest in him--although if Brohm and Flynn stink it up this preseason, they might change their mind.
                              "There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson

                                I still like the idea of picking up a guy like Chris Simms. The Bucs have a surplus of QB's.

                                While Sims is still young, he has the veteran status of being a good backup to Rodgers. I just don't like the idea of any rookie being the #2 backup.
