Long story longer, the key to free agency is not making the biggest splash or identifying the best players at each position and then pursuing them. The key to free agency is identifying and signing players who fit the scheme and can be obtained with reasonable salaries. That leaves cap space and cash for the best kind of free agent signing – the re-signing of your own free agents whom you know fit with your team, which in the Vikings case could be players such as right tackle Phil Loadholt, safety Jamarca Sanford and even a future free agents such as Everson Griffen.
A lot of young cornerbacks with coverage skills on Prisco's free agent list, as well as a few safeties. That's encouraging.
8. Glover Quin, S, Texans -- He can play in the box. He can cover. He's young. He's a former corner. What's not to like? Watch his Vikings tape. You will love the kid.
The Vikings love players from other teams who they've seen first hand.

Its right, whats not to like about him. I've seen him play in a good amount of games and he is a great player. Hes only 27 so hes got a lot left in him. He would be an awesome addition to the defense.
This would be an unstoppable offense! Two running threats in the backfield, a burner to stretch the field in Wallace, and Harvin finding openings in the middle, always a threat to take a 5 yard pass to the house (even more with Wallace and VY's arm stretching the D).
Vikes would average 250 yards rushing per game AND 250 passing!
I think some of what they say pertains to the percy Harvin situation as well, even if Harvin isn't a free agent. It's rumor and speculation season in the NFL right now...

Obviously a joke post here.
The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." #SKOL2018

He's a veteran with starting experience. What's wrong with him! He's started and won games in the NFL!
Not like our backup QB situation makes much difference between Vince Young or Matt Moore or any other mid level bum they mention. As long as we aren't talking Joe Webb we're talking guys that won't make a lick of difference between the lot of them in actual performance...

You know what, I'd take vince young as our back up. Being out of football may have helped him a lot and nearly all the negatives for him were in his head. The other thing is, when he had his head on straight, he actually wasn't that bad, I'm a big believer that his running and fairly decent deep ball is the only reason CJ ever ran for 2000+.
Maybe it's because I just watched money ball the other day but i'd take a chance on him!

My guess is either the Vikings or the players want to let the market determine the price.
Late cap adjustments put the Minnesota Vikings about $14.8 million under their adjusted 2013 salary cap as of Saturday morning.
The league does final calculations before the league year begins for not likely to be earned incentives that were paid, likely to be earned incentives that weren't and other accounting.
