    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        Vikings agreed to terms with Greg Jennings, formerly of the Packers, on a five-year contract.

        Minnesota put the full-court press on Jennings on Thursday night by bringing in coach Leslie Frazier and star RE Jared Allen to dinner. It must have worked, and the money must have been right. After trading away Percy Harvin earlier in the week, GM Rick Spielman badly needed to find someone to replace his production. Jennings, 29, can play the slot, but he also isn't limited to it. The way the receiver corps looks now, we'd expect Jennings and Jerome Simpson to play on the outside with Jarius Wright in the slot. Minnesota also has two first-round picks to potentially add to the group. Jennings' signing is a good get for Christian Ponder and his development.

          I just watched that news on NFL Access.

          So that's the end of Greg Jennings 'Green Bay Packer'.

          It's now Greg Jennings 'Minnesota Viking'.

            He wanted to sign anywhere but green bay. I have a strong feeling he just didnt want to play for us anymore. If he did he would have worked something out. I have a feeling it has something to do with Rodgers. I don't think his sister bashing Rodgers was just random.

              thats why you tag and trade

              you don't let your good players go to your rivals

              and the tag wouldn't have cost more then TT was willing to pay anyways

                After letting the initial rush of free agency settle down a little bit, the Minnesota Vikings finally made a move at the wide receiver position on Friday, signing Greg Jennings.


                Habemus Packem: Minnesota Vikings Sign Greg Jennings.

                By Christopher Gates on Mar 15 2013 ... 6:14 PM

                " So, it appears the Vikings have at least made a start towards filling the gaping hole at the wide receiver position. There's still plenty of work left to do, but considering that there's still six weeks until the 2013 NFL Draft and much, much longer than that until the kickoff of the 2013 regular season, at least they've taken that first step."

                  I have never subscribed to "the sky is falling" theory when it comes to TT and free agency. But, I just can't understand how a GM, who is so close to the Super Bowl, can not make A move here and A move there. Im not saying spend big and try and build a "dream team." But this team NEEDS a few pieces. San Fran ran over us and our team has only gotten weaker the last couple of days, not stronger. Upgrade TWO positions via free agency. GMs have several tools to build a team. Free agency is one of them. USE IT. So frustrating. Im not freaking out, just making a point. Losing Jennings hurt. Not having a real running back hurts. Not having TWO good safeties hurts. Not having a pass rush, besides Clay, hurts. Rookies can't fix all of these problems.

                      Thats a solid point. If we were willing to pay him 10 mil/year then we should have tagged him. We have more than enough room. I don't like how TT played this one at all.

                        After the injury it would have. Let's see the numbers before calling the tag scenario, though. Vikings might have made Eugene Parker's day and possibly not.

                          In the last two offseasons are have lost a lot more talent than we have gained. Wells, Jenkins, Woodson, Jennings, and Collins all gone. Williams hurt as well. If Sherrod and Perry don't pan out we might be falling out of elite status soon.

                            You really think TT offered him $10M a year? I highly doubt it. I'm not as worried about losing GJ as some of you. Back away from the cliff.

                              so, just for the record

                              TT for a gem in the draft, we groomed him,

                              and when he was in his prime, we let him walk to our rival, FOR NOTHING. sure we'll get a 4th or 5th round comp pick for it next year, but a player like that going to your rival who desperately needs a player at his position

                              you gotta make them pay for it. they should have had to give up at least a first rounder for a talent like that

                              my fears are starting to come true. will we become a farm club for other teams? will we start to find and groom talent only to pass them off to other clubs when its time for them to be paid
