Rumors Flying on KFAN about the Vikes

[Tony Oday]

Not a lot of details but sounds like the Vikings are looking at a blockbuster trade.

Have to think that is Vincent Jackson

[mraynrand]

Favre for Randy Moss straight up.

[packers11]

if they make a block buster trade they really are going "all in" for this season...

They have to. Favre and Pat(?) Williams will be gone next year (if there is a next year). This is their last shot for a while, so after seeing the failures last night, a bold move makes a lot of sense for them.

With any luck they will make the trade, fail miserably and loose a high draft pick or two for the future.

MadScientist - really living up to your handle - Nice!

If it's Jackson, they might not have him until mid-season either. I don't know how a trade might affect the roster-exempt classification.

In August, the Chargers placed Jackson on the roster-exempt list, meaning he can't play for three games after the date he signs and reports to the team. Jackson also has been suspended by the NFL for the first three games for violating the league's substance-abuse policy, and there is a debate about whether he can serve the sentences concurrently.

Maybe after seeeing Favre looking like a tired 65 year old in the 2nd half, they decided to trade for a QB? I bet they could Rosenfels for a 2nd round pick.

[Smidgeon]

I think it will be a 1st, a 3rd, and a 5th for Roy Williams...

[falco]

Or maybe Chilly will do what TT "fell asleep" trying to do, and trade for Randy Moss.

[Patler]

Hopefully, they will follow their own example from the Herschel Walker trade, or the Packers' example from the John Hadl trade!

The source of the rumors said the player they are trying to acquire is not Randy Moss, but he didn't say who it was.

The Bears were nice enough to do this for us, why not the Viqueens?

They might need a 1st, but it would be worth it. Everyone knows that he is way better than TJ.

wow, what i saw last night was not a lack of talent at WR, it was a complete lack of favre being on the same page with his receivers other then shiancoe

and IMO that comes from favre's holdout for all of training camp and pre season. like i said in the game thread, brett might not have needed the camp but the players around him sure needed the time with him to get on the same page

and if you bring in vincent jackson(who is suspended for at least 3 games and maybe up to 6) or some other WR its going to take time some them to get in sync with favre

i'm loving this, not only is favre sending them at top speed to the poor house, but he's going to make them give up their future to win now

what i saw last night was a mess of a team on offense that needs a lot more then one more big player to fix whats wrong with them

Thanks alot Patler. You just made me shake my head and curse Dan Devine!
