AP is a Saints for 2yrs 7 million wow rick couldn't find away to keep him big time loss IMO,sure he's not what he used to be but he could have helped the young players...it will be very interesting MNF US BANK STADIUM Saints vrs Vikings to see AP on the sideline in a Saints uni
and you know AP wants to show the Vikings front office he still has it!!...I wish he would have retired as a Vikings
Adrian Peterson earned a prominent spot in the headlines on Tuesday by signing with the Saints in a move that sets him up for an early return to Minnesota because the two teams will square off in Week One. The plan for the Vikings is for Latavius Murray to be in Peterson?s old spot as the team?s starting running back, although the Vikings will have to wait a little while before they have a chance to see exactly how Murray fits into their offense. He had ankle surgery shortly after signing with the team as a free agent and said Tuesday that he?s still going through the rehab process with designs on being ready to go when training camp starts. ?That?s the plan,? Murray said. ?That?s my goal, obviously. I don?t want to miss any more time than I have to, but, at the same time, I have to continue to trust the plan [the medical staff] has in place for me. I want to be out there when it?s time to lock and load.? When that time arrives, Murray says that he knows the Vikings want him on the field as much as possible as an every-down back and said he?s confident that his receiving skills will allow that to happen. It will be a spell before there?s on-field evidence to support those feelings, but little doubt that the Vikings will need Murray to hit the ground running upon his return to action.
I hope things work out this year and last year was just very bad luck,and fix the O-line and get some DEPTH! have a good draft GO VIKINGS....hey check out Rick on twitter on NFL.com his monotone drone just drives me crazy......the Falcons Stadium looks amazing check it out
Need a solid pick for round 2... still some really good options available. Don't screw this up Ricky.
I ARGEE don't screw up Ricky I hope Zimmer has more input in who's gets drafted,cause Rick record is so-so the 48th pick it will interesting to see who's available
I think Dan Feeney would be an intelligent pick for Minnesota. Plenty of RB work horses would remain in the 3rd and 4th rounds, which the Vikings have 2 picks each. Interesting to see if they go RB or DT in the later rounds.
yep the O-line must be addressed first with next pick a D-lineman they can still get a pretty good rb in the later rounds.......then its about DEPTH DEPTH!!!!!
a RB when they need O-linemen he's a good rb.....BUT THEY NEED O-linemen not to happy here I expected something else
I think with the FA moves they made they wanted to go after the best available back on the board... this could be real good for the Vikings.
could be but when i think about it the Vikings have a lot of needs a playmaking WR DT LB Center they need O-linemen BIG TIME
Sat. will be a big day you still can get some pretty good players,then its all about DEPTH cause the Vikings got exposed last year
Cook has a more complete game than Murray and could be the one in the starting lineup in Week 1 playing against Adrian Peterson and the Saints.
