You're joking, right?
I'm a Bollinger guy. He's a North Dakota kid. He can be okay managing games, but I thought Mosley had some good potential. Man, has his star fallen off."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 -

Vikings deal Mosley for Bollinger
Thursday, August 31st, 2006 by Judd Zulgad The Vikings have acquired fourth-year quarterback Brooks Bollinger from the New York Jets for second-year nose tackle C.J. Mosley, according to NFL sources. Bollinger and Mosley both must complete physicals before the trade becomes officials.
Mosley has left the team in Dallas and is headed to New York. Bollinger played in only one game over his first two seasons with the Jets after playing college football at Wisconsin.
With Chad Pennington hurt last season, however, Bollinger started nine times and played in 11 games, completing 150 of 266 passes for 1,558 yards and seven touchdowns with six interceptions.
Bollinger figures to become the Vikings’ backup quarterback. Mike McMahon likely will be released this weekend when cuts are made to 53.Comment

This obsession the Vikings have with former Wisconsin sports stars is getting real 'John Mark Karr'ish. Quite scary!Comment

Hmmmmm, there is confusion now.....
Might not have been Mosley,,,,
According to KFFL.com the jets got Kolodziej. We still have Mosley.

Sean Jensen, of the Pioneer Press, reports the Minnesota Vikings have acquired QB Brooks Bollinger from the New York Jets in exchange for DL Ross Kolodziej. The deal will be finalized once both players pass their physicals.Comment

HA HA HA. Either way, it doesn't matter. Bollinger sucks. But they really didn't give up anything to get him. Interesting though.Comment

Bollinger will be a backup for more years in the NFL. Incredibly smart dude; but I'm not sure why Minnesota would want him with their new draft pick ? Unless he definitely needs more time to develop.Originally posted by gbpackfan
Frickin Minnesota Badgers.
Bollinger was a great College QB FOR THE BADGERS SYSTEM. But he's a below average 2nd string QB who is very smart. I see him coaching in the NFL within 10 years like Bevell.
BTERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

McMahaon is horrible so either he'll (Bollinger) be second or third string....I'm guessing second...although Tarvaris Jackson has played quite well thus far.Comment

I read on another site that the Vikings are trying to sign Tommy Thompson as a scouting advisor. According to reports he meets all of their hiring requirements, which basically means he has worked for or been affiliated with anything related to Wisconsin.Click the stop button in IE or hit ESC to stop the moving avatars.- ZoolComment

They traded Mosley. I'm a little surprised. Mosley is a big guy with some upside. Ross K. just isn't very good with little upside. Of course, he likely had ZERO trade value."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 ThompsonComment

This is probably one of those trades where both guys were going to be cut so why risk someone else picking up a guy you want.Originally posted by 3irty1Comment

Ross K clearly outplayed CJ in the preseason....word from the media was CJ was getting cut....I am surprised CJ didn't show better this preseason, he looked good last year, relativly speaking.Comment

Vikes also gave up an "undisclosed draft choice" for Bollinger."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 ThompsonComment
