Like the Harvin trade, this was also a necessary move for the Vikings to make. There isn’t a Viking fan alive that liked losing Winfield, including Coach Leslie Frazier. This is one of those moves that serves as a reminder that football is not only a game, but a business.
Had the Vikings not released Winfield, they would have been on the hook to him for $7.25 million. He eventually agreed to a one deal with the Seahawks for around $3 million.
It’s mind boggling to think that the Vikings and Winfield couldn’t find a common ground that would have allowed him to eventually announce his retirement in Minneapolis. The leadership that Winfield brought to the team is going to be missed.
The Vikings better pick up a stud CB in the draft !!!!
