Yes, but no clue IF that HAS to happen or when. Perhaps it's the uncertainty that is causing teams pause?

@eric_j_thompson Scenario: the #Vikings might need to leapfrog a team or two to get the WR they want. Trade a 3rd or 4th to go up and get him? I say yes.

They were saying hes only run 3 routes in his time in college. Hes going to be a project player. Both Tread and Doc are better WR's but I guess they just wanted speed.

My wife had it. She never played football again.

Or ran (she was an avid jogger). Or played any sports (we'd play tennis). She can walk forever... It's not the surgery. It's the fact that your knee was so bad that you needed it.

Of course, I always wonder how much better she could have recovered with the best orthopedic care money could buy.

Zimmers eyeing linebackers up. Norv is looking at WR's and probably Rick is looking for deals.

2 good safeties gone. Neal is more of a FS though right?

Vikes could move up to #18 with their 3rd round pick...
