Is there such a thing as a washed up never was?

Cold is temporary. Purple Pride is forever.

They want 2 firsts plus something else. Vikings offered one 1st.

I think it all sounds a little fishy. He makes enough to call a locksmith I would guess.

Spielman's take on some of the trade offers from other teams.
“The one thing that I will not do — and I promise you this — is put our organization in a situation where it’s going to inhibit us or hurt us going into the future,” Spielman said

I don't find Bridgewater irreplaceable at all, let alone enough to think the Vikes should just mail it in.

They wont mail it in, Zimmer would not allow it. He will fight until he can't. But it will be tough to beat the elite teams in the NFL. The best I see is wild card road game.

Imo, all it takes is the right move at QB and assuming he can pick up the offense fairly quick, you may be barely any worse off, for example, I think McCarron is on just about the same level as Bridgewater if not a little better, so obviously im not ready to write the Vikings off if they trade for him (That is just one possibility, but I think you get my point)

Sources tell @caplannfl the #Vikings talked to the #Eagles this week about Sam Bradford, but the Eagles aren't looking to move him.

Please no.
Eagles have gotten significant compensation for QB Sam Bradford - don't be surprised if it's a 1st-round pick.

It's a first round pick and an additional pick in 2018.

I went ahead and started a Bradford thread. After all, it looks like he'll be the Vikings new QB once he gets up to speed.
