Murray to Philly.
You guys ready to hear all of the Adrian Peterson to Dallas rumors now? SMFH. This is going to suck.

Hold on. Ryan Mathews hasn't signed his contract yet. Dallas may want him if he gets jaded about Murray signing there. And Murray could be using this as a way to try and get Dallas to pony up a bit more cash.HardcoreVikesFan wrote:http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/20 ... nt-4096074

That does really increase the probability of it doesn't it though?
Imagine if Dallas was expecting Murray back. They may very well give us really good value for AP in order to keep their teams window as open as possible.
This is very good news TBH. It seems like now we either keep AP or get a 1st from Dallas.

Is Fred Smoot still in the league? There is a big name we could sign. I like his skill set too.
Over-paying early for big names, and not so big names, in FA hardly ever pays off. I think that's pretty obvious by now.
Rumors out there of the Bucs making an "aggressive" move for AP may just start a bidding war between Dallas/Tampa Bay/Arizona. Spielman might be drooling as we type.

From the Future Wire;
Vikings collect Dallas', Arizona's, and Tampa Bay's First round pick in exchange for a Peterson Time share deal.

@AdamSchefter Recently-released Bucs DE Michael Johnson's first visit will be with the Minnesota Vikings, per source.

Hmm, he'd be an upgrade but not at a desperate need position. We REALLY need a MLB.
FWIW he will be getting 7mil from the Bucs this year so that maybe a way to get him for a little less.

Re: 2015 Offseason - Free Agent/Draft Tracker
@markcraignfl As "street" free agent, Johnson wouldn't count against #Vikings comp picks equation in '16. That weighs heavily at Winter Park. Rightly so.
@ArifHasanNFL @markcraignfl been a while since the Vikings have been ahead in the comp picks question. Seattle targets cut players for that reason too
@mattvensel @ArifHasanNFL @markcraignfl And Ravens. And Packers. And Patriots. Hmmm... Those guys have anything in common?

Re: 2015 Offseason - Free Agent/Draft Tracker
I highly doubt it. Zimmer loves his rotations and Robison is still an asset. He also has $2 million due today.

It will dramatically cut into his play time I think though

EDIT: my love of compensatory picks and the philosophy that surrounds them aside, I do hope we can work out a deal with Johnson, based on his history in the scheme we run.
