well if this is true it is good news. Hope that they didnt overpay too much, if at all. Spiels has impressed me. He has not sat on his hands and is making some good moves.

Don't hate on my Buckeyes. Some of the best Vikings went to Ohio State.

This is good news, especially if he can stay healthy. The Vikes needed a quality veteran and Jennings is a good one. Kudos to Spielman and company for signing their man!

There's no player like Harvin but we needed a GOOD veteran WR on the team. Jennings can help us groom guys like Wright, Simpson, and draft pick X

Now grab the best WR available with one of our 1st round picks! It's a good day for the Vikings today!

I wonder if this will stop some of the #### about Spielman now?

Exactly and just because he's had bad luck with injuries the last few years, it doesn't mean that will continue. When healthy, he's a top notch receiver and he's still in his athletic prime. This is a guy who could really help the team and help Ponder grow as a QB. Hopefully, it's a move that works out.

The Vikes choices were limited and they just signed one of the best options available to them. As far as I'm concerned, that's good news. :)

Wallace or boldin would have been better. But jennings is better than wes welker. Younger, faster, bigger. Hopefully he stays healthy.

We needed a vet WR and we got one. And guess what, hes plays the slot. This was a good signing, although I still think of Favre, Sharper, Shortwell, etc as Packers. Maybe this will be different. I am in a much better frame of mind then a few days ago. And we have alot of draft picks coming up.

Now make a huge splash and go get Cruz also AND draft a WR with one of the first round picks. At AD's age the time to win is now- 3 years

Nope! "We're going to build through the draft" Signs 29 year old injury issue wide receiver.

But hey, it's whatever. Either way is win/win. We got a good solid starting caliber receiver. I doubt there were many other places to spend the money, and it's Zygi's money. Let's just hope by the time he's completely shot they've managed to work another option or two behind him like the Packers did.
