Minnesota Vikings re-sign Benny Sapp

The Minnesota Vikings have re-signed cornerback Benny Sapp, who was a free agent.

Like Farwell, not a big name signing but hopefully another player that helps us win. I do like Sapp's aggresive style, even though he's not gifted athletically as much as Marcus McCaully, who he moved ahead of on the depth chart. I also hope Gordon recovers fully from his ankle injury, he was also very good on our special teams before he got hurt and we could use the depth in our coverage team.

I think this calls for a billion dollar subsidized stadium! "Rosenfeld Field!"

I kinda like the re-signing, but he has had his problems. I like Charles Gordon way better. Sapp's best play as a Viking was when he hit R. Davis of Chicago that gave the Bears a first down that led to the goal line stand and 99 yard TD pass! Gordon made a lot of plays on the ball, his coverage is pretty decent. Even though Jennings caught that long ball on week 1, Gordon was in position right there with him and the great pass break up in week 5 against the Saints. It just tells me he is pretty decent sticking to his coverage! I hope to see them draft or sign a CB!

We still need veteran Chris McCallister to sign with the Vikings

Lose Birk,SIGN Sapp why?

OK serviceable backup, but who is starting QB?

I agree here! He would be a nice fit and and much needed...

No offense to Benny Sapp, but could the Vikes do something in free agency to generate some excitement. Maybe they are waiting till the draft to get the players they need.

[College Republic]

Apparently there is even more discontent within the Broncos organization. Maybe the Vikings were just sitting on that situation. I like the McCallister idea though, it wouldn't hurt to bring in another veteran on the D.

oooohhhh, oh, Ya! I never thought we would get him back. Only after no one wanted him. THAT my friends is impressive AND what championship caliber teams do. ha.

After hearing about all of the "Whining" Cutler is doing, I'm not as gung ho on trading for him. Unless he comes reasonable, I would rather see the Vikes fill in the O-line and add a WR. Pace and Holt could be a solution. Pace got cut yesterday and Holt could be released later this week. Surround our so-so QB's with a solid 10 man support system.

Agreed. We need an A list WR to draw double coverage. That combined with the extra coverage needed for AP will leave huge voids in opposing defenses to exploit.

I hear Torry Holt has bad knees,it could be b.s.

[Bad Knees]

It is BS. The thought of playing for the Vikings made him create this false rhumor.

Holt with bad knees and a cane is better than our current crew.
