 Vikings to work out exonerated LB Brian BanksQuote: There's a "good chance" the Vikings will work out free-agent LB Brian Banks on Friday, Frazier said. Banks, 26, was exonerated last month of a rape conviction for which he served five years in prison and another five years on monitored parole. He is participating in the Seattle Seahawks' minicamp on a tryout basis this week. http://www.1500espn.com/sportswire/Note ... ense061212 Banks' story: http://abcnews.go.com/US/rising-footbal ... d=16424770 _________________ “Some people think football is a matter of life and death.

Re: Vikings to work out exonerated LB Brian Banks I'd be proud to have this guy as a Viking. If he can tap into the wealth of potential he had before this tragedy occurred, he would make a great addition to the team. Not to mention the Vikings could use a feel good story.

Re: Vikings to work out exonerated LB Brian Banks Well anyone out of football that long has to be considered a long shot but at least he should be fresh and raring to go. I'm sure he wants it bad too, but we'll just have to see if he goes anywhere.

Re: Vikings to work out exonerated LB Brian Banks I agree, that's a long time to be out of football, but I hope that he makes it though. He got a really raw deal...

Re: Vikings to work out exonerated LB Brian Banks Quote: Saw Brian Banks practice on Wednesday in Seattle. He looks like a potential middle linebacker. I don't think the Seahawks will sign him. Expect Brian Banks to get that tryout at Chiefs minicamp next week. Remember Brian Banks hasn't been offered a contract. He's an unsigned player just trying out with team. The Seahawks tried him at MLB John Clayton on Twitter _________________ “Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.” --- Bill Shankly |
