Q & A with Chad Greenway

Post by dead_poet »

Some nice nuggets here: http://www.startribune.com/sports/vikin ... 21921.html
On reaching out to Winfield to see if he'll return (The Vikings have said the door is open):
"I haven't reached out to him yet. It probably would be a good idea for some of us veterans to reach out to him just to say, `Hey, we want you back.' If there's a chance he can work it out to come back, that would be great. It also becomes personal because he's been here nine years. He's had a long career just here. It was unfortunate to see it, but obviously we all understand the type of business it is and the job we're asked to do. Hopefully, I can talk to him. Hopefully, a bunch of guys can talk to him and tell him if he wants to play a couple more years, we'd love for it to be with us. "

Thanks for the link. Good Q & A.

Regarding the above quote, I'm hoping that Greenway and some of the other players can persuade Winfield to return to the Vikings. Man, after nine years to get cut like he did and that's after playing well last season. I never saw this one coming, despite Winfield's age and salary. Maybe I was looking at it all through purple tinted glasses or maybe it's just because Winfield is one of my favorite players.

Maybe Greenway and Allen should consider restructuring their deals so Winfield could come back...

that might make a good topic for any conversation they have with Winfield.
