Charles Gordon agrees to 1-year deal with Minnesota Vikings

[CzarInMpls]

First priority is to get Vikings need new outdoor stadium with a casino attached. Think of the revenue it would generate for education, arts, roads, etc! WOULD SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?! No taxpayers money to build it either. Vikings need cold weather advantage they enjoyed in the 1970s. Coincidentally the last time the Purple were in a Super Bowl! Trade for QB is priority two. Vikings need linemen like the Twins need pitching. In otherwords, they don't.

Dear God,
don't let the Vikes sign any more green bush players we already have far too many ex green bushers on this club. Let's sign any other player to play for us as we march towards the super bowl. Signed: a big Vikings fan

[Justice]

It won't matter what the Vikes have for an O-line if they go into the season with the 3 clowns they currently have at QB. Sage would also be an absolute waste of a draft pick as he is not an upgrade over the current crew.

[jhbart001]

good get him on the team. you cant have to many good players

[WIPurplePride]

Gotta love some of those Viking fans from Minnesota, same ones that didn't buy tickets to the playoff game right? Or wont vote in a new stadium? I went and supported my team! Just like I support them in this trade for Sage.
All the Sage trade haters out there answer me this,

Who that was available is better?

Garcia - only thing that says better is West Coast experience but his play keep declining and he's a headcase.
Warner & McNabb - Both are long shots but yeah they are better.
D.Anderson - No thank you. One year wonder hasn't showed anything to warrant spending alot on him.

Thing is it only cost us a 4th round pick, he has upside, and next year the QB class is actually worth looking at... Mccoy, Bradford, Tebow.

And what's with people wanting Hayneworth? That's as dumb as the same people asking for Suggs or Peppers before they were franchised.

[JHawker]

Right on WIPurplePride. All the haters out there keep whining, Ill keep going to the games. If you really hate the vikings soo much why do you waste your time complaining on message boards? MN fans love hopping on the band wagon and then complaining when they lose, just like the Goofers bball team.

JD- what about this guy?:D he would be a nice fit, wouldn't he? also, if the vikes are interested here, is that Birks slot or Herrera's?

[JDBrocks]

Thats Birks spot. Jason Brown is a devastating run blocker. Look at all of those beastly runs McClain and McGahee had up the middle this year. Brown is naaaasty.

[Purple Faithful]

wow, next to hutch? niiiice

[Todd Scottdale]

Signing Brown is the best thing we can do. If we can't bring back Birk for our price
it would be GREAT to sign Brown. I would like to see us sign a FA linebacker and veteran Saefty.

[Purple Faithful]

our d-line covers for the lb's good enough. we need a corner bad & a safety, though.

I'm actually willing to roll with Tyrell going into this season. He looked lost early, but improved alot, and with a year under his belt and a bunch of film to watch I think he'll improve alot this year.

[BigD]

It would be a nice addition to the line, if we keep Birk at center and Brown at guard. But to release Birk and sign Brown to a large contract, does little to help the right side of the line. Max Unger G/C out of Oregon looked really good at the NFL combine this weekend.

Yeah, he did improve some. If he progresses, we're fine. Hopefully our coaches knows whether it's a priority or not. It's definately a question mark and a position on an island. We'll be hurting if he regresses.
