The limo that brought free agent wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh to Winter Park just departed. Houshmandzadeh spent the late morning and the afternoon meeting with the Vikings and it appears he is staying in town at this point. In other words, the car IS NOT headed right down 494 and toward the airport. Keep hitting refresh and we’ll do our best to keep you updated.

Yer like a teenage boy in heat, Ras.

I will admit they could use a guy like him.

I'm all for banning Ras if he keeps posting free agency good news for the Vikes ...

Just kidding (kinda)

Report: Vikes intent on inking Houshmandzadeh

The Vikings are reportedly intent on not letting free agent T.J. Houshmandzadeh leave their Winter Park facility unsigned.

Minnesota is expected to only propose a short-term deal, however, due to concerns about Houshmandzadeh's age. The Vikes also already have $49M tied up in Bernard Berrian. Still, with Housh planning to sign somewhere by Sunday evening, this union may be imminent. We're guessing he'd get a three-year deal worth $8-9 million annually and $10 million guaranteed.

Ras has a big ol' boner right about now.

I sure do, plus the football stuff is also good.


Vikes WR corps wasn't as bad as most here seemed to imply but there's no question "whose your mama" would help a great deal over the next couple of years.

OOH, RAS!

You bad boy, you. I bet you got a pair of Viking horns that the wife asks you to pull out when she's feeling naughty...

With your mama, Rice, and Berrian the Vikes offense is getting a lot better. If I was the Vikings I would be doing everything I could to land Culter. Even if that means two first round picks.

they can probably get him for cheaper then that

but the queens do look good if they sign housh, even if it's just sage throwing to them. they would be much better then they were last year

hey ras, hows the o-line look if birk leaves?

[Bretsky]

It's funny how the Seahawks basically replaced Bernard with Cole. That's a huge downgrade. I mean, the 'Hawks need size in the front 7 since they're tiny, but still...

That's what I was just thinking. And if the Packers replace Cole with Canty, they will have made a significant upgrade.

I'lll ask you the same thing that I asked Waldo

Do you think TTT can close a deal and beat out mulitiple suitors ??

Free Agency can be exciting for some teams fans

Kinda shakey I would guess. Sullivan and Cook. They could draft a guy I guess but I think bringing Birk back makes the most sense.

Yeah, think of all the teams in past years who went nuts and set themselves back by years.
Exciting.

Pretty boring so far for fans of teams like the Eagles, Steelers, Patriots, Colts and Chargers though...

I wonder how Denver is going to make it out of this. They've been gobbling 'em up left and right and have managed to alienate their QB.

Wolf and Holmgren......those days were exciting in FA
