-I say we finish 8-8 by beating St. Louis.
-Bill Musgrave is fired and we bring in Norv Turner as our new OC and have him "open up" this offense.
Players resigned
FB- Jerome Felton- 3 yrs...Has been a blessing in disguise and is helping AP tremendously
RT- Phil Loadholt- 5 yrs...Has improved since last year, still young, and deserves a contract
RG- Geoff Schwartz- 2 yrs...Solid swing guy, I personally dont mind him starting at RG. Anything but Fusco
DT- Kevin Williams- 3 yrs...Still has some left in the tank and will be better off when we give him a little help at NT
DT- Fred Evans- 1 yr...Has shown more flashes than Guion and is a decent backup
MLB- Jasper Brinkley- 2 yrs...Has stepped up the past couple games and has shown flashes in coverage
ST- Larry Dean- 2 yrs...Special teams captain and in the running for the ST spot in the Pro Bowl
LB- Marvin Mitchell- 1 yr...Solid backup that can step in if needed
CB- AJ Jefferson- 3 yrs...I feel bad for the guy. He has been on Marshall and Calvin like glue and the guys still pull in catches. Either way, I believe he fits this scheme well and is a solid corner
CB- Marcus Sherels- 2 yrs...Solid punt returner but thats all.
SS- Jamarca Sanford- 2 yrs...Much improved since last year. Solid backup and special teamer
Players Let Go
WR- Jerome Simpson...Too inconsistent, not big on his cocky attitude, below average catching ability
WR- Devin Aromashadu...It was down to him and Jenkins but Jenkins' hands are way more reliable
WR- Stephen Burton...Has done nothing but drop balls this year
TE- John Carlson...I said from the start that this was a waste of money and I was right
OG- Charlie Johnson...Do I need to say more?
OL- Joe Berger...Getting old and no need for him anymore
DT- Letroy Guion...A waste of space. Period
MLB- Erin Henderson...Just hasnt performed this year and cant cover to save his life
S- Andrew Sendejo...no need for him.
Restructured
WR- Michael Jenkins...Some might not like this but he is a great 5-10 yard guy and has more reliable hands than Simpson, Aromashadu, and Burton
**Toby Gerhart is traded to Indianapolis for future picks...I just havent been big on Toby and he's had a fumbling issue this year. However, he is good trade bait and I believe thats what Minnesota does.
Free Agency
WR- Dwayne Bowe- 5 yrs
-Some might be against this as well but one thing I have noticed with Bowe is he still puts up solid numbers with NO ONE ever throwing to him. What would Mike Wallace or Greg Jennings be without Roethlisberger and Rodgers? Who knows. We already know Bowe can still produce with the worst of them.

DT- Terrance Knighton- 4 yrs
-Our new PHAT PAT!! The vikings finally get a guy back that can clog up the middle and will helping the aging Kevin Williams.

TE- Dante Rosario- 2 yrs
-This fills Carlsons spot and he will come cheap. Has shown flashes this year in Gates' absence.

QB- Matt Moore- 3 yrs
-As I said above, I believe this organization needs to stick with Ponder and build around him but I also believe he needs some competition so here ya go.

DRAFT
Round 1
MLB- Alec Ogletree
-Im sure some of you are wondering about this pick because I had us re-signing Brinkley but Ogletree can play both outside and inside LB. He also started off as a safety at Georgia so we all know he has alot of experience coverage wise (something our current LB's cant do). Brinkley will be used strictly for running situations.

Round 2
WR- Da'Rick Rogers
-Yes, he's a head case but he also might be the most talented WR in this draft. This pick reminds me of last years pick when the Rams took CB Janoris Jenkins in the 2nd. Many said that Jenkins was even better than Claiborne but had too many off the field issues. All I know is Jenkins is lighting it up this year in St. Louis and you are hearing less and less about Claiborne because of it. Rogers would go very well with Bowe, Harvin, Jenkins, and Wright (That is one solid WR corps

Round 3
OG- Travis Frederick
-Obviously we need a starting LG. I believe Frederick can be that guy. He's known for his great mobility and blocking abilities and will be a huge filler at LG.

Round 4
S- Bacarri Rambo
- I believe we could use a better SS even though Raymond and Sanford arent that bad. Either way, Rambo could be a starter from day 1 and be a good compliment to Smith.

Round 4
CB- Nickell Robey
- Our corners could always use improvement and with Winfield getting close to retirement, I feel we need to assess CB at some point.

Round 5
RB- Kenjon Barner
-I think Barner will be more useful in our system than Gerhart. This is my "Bring back Chester Taylor pick"

Round 6
OG- Travis Bond
-Just another guard to backup Schwartz and Frederick.

Round 7
P- Ryan Allen
-Time to give Kluwe a little competition. He's great at some points and horrible at others.
