They released him in the last year of his deal. He was rarely healthy for them. Feel sorry for the guy.Mothman wrote:
Wow, did the Jaguars cut him or did he just have a short contract with them?
Is that a good deal? Haven't been paying attention to the financial part of the off season.#Vikings gave Marcus Sherels $1.5 million fully guaranteed on 2-year, $4M deal. Can add $300K in incentives for punt return avg, Pro Bowl.
I don't think it's outlandish. He's probably worth that as one of the best/most consistent punt returners in the game.TxVikingfan wrote:Tom Pelissero

He's also an excellent Special Teams player. He nd Theilen seem to make all of the ST tackles.dead_poet wrote: I don't think it's outlandish. He's probably worth that as one of the best/most consistent punt returners in the game.
He's good on the Vikes coverage teams too and he can play CB in a pinch. I think that increases his value. It looks like a fair deal for both sides.dead_poet wrote: I don't think it's outlandish. He's probably worth that as one of the best/most consistent punt returners in the game.
I am told tackle Andre Smith is still with the Vikings and they are still working on him. Hope to get him today might not be gone
Its certainly not what I've stated or meant to imply, but at this point the communication break down is so severe I don't see any point in even trying to clarify things.Mothman wrote:
I apologize for the rant but I hope people are still reading and I hope some of you can understand my passion on this subject. I don't think any Vikings fan should have to apologize for wanting the team to win. I'm certainly not going to do it.
Not enough flexibility. The big stiff always got up grimacing and injured.dead_poet wrote:

I guess I don't understand why Andre Smith would WANT to come here. There is a chance he does not end up starting. If I were him, I would go to a team where I knew I would be the starter.dead_poet wrote:

#Vikings tried their best today Andre Smith flight pushed back 2 hours But he will be off ground & gone from Minnesota in about a half hour
Free agent OT Andre Smith told @christomasson that he is down to choosing the #Vikings & the #Cardinals. Don't count out Zimmer connection.
