I know we have a few headcases on the Vikes, ala Percy...but if we have a few projects on the Vikings why not take on another .
Why not trade B. Berrian and 2nd for B. Marshall? Berrian has talent but he is not the talent of Marshall. Berrian can disappear in stretchs of games Marshall can dominate a corner and dictate a game just from his physical skills; perfect fit for Farve the gunslinger. Berrian 6'1" 185; Marshall 6'4" 230, and he's 3 yrs younger. Last 2 seasons in Denver everyone knew in the stadium where the ball was going and the defense still could not stop it.
Denver has to trade him ...why not here, and reunite Berrian w/ Orton.
There are a few reasons why not to trade for him and most of that is off-field reasons, which you could have said the same for Allen before we traded for him.
If we're going for it all by signing Favre, lets go for it...I could envision Favre/Marshall taking over a playoff game when we needed to do so.
....sorry probably alittle too much Mountain Dew in me

Good thinking, even though it was Mountain Dew induced. Heck I would love to see him in purple but the chance of that happening are pretty slim I guess.

Very interesting. Not sure how I feel about that one though. I really like Berrian, but I also really like Marshall. I have seen plenty of times though that Berrian ran right past the defense and was WIDE open, then to have T-Awesome overthrow him. I say keep Berrian and trade Chester Taylor and Rice(maybe plus a second) for Marshall.

I like either of those deals!

isn't marshall a wife beater and busted his hand up punching a TV? Sorry I'd keep Berrian and watch my drama somewhere else.

What makes him a headcase...the fact that he smokes a little weed?

You forget the praise we gave the biggest head case in the game at the time(Moss)... I think we can look past a hand going through a TV.

Let's not forget the Love Boat scandal, Mr. Wizzinator.....

i'd never trade berrian for marshall...berrian has been solid since he got here...he put up nice numbers for having the worse qb's in the nfl throwing to him...i seen him open all the time without getting the ball...favre will hit him all day...if we sign favre i say we are set at WR for this season.

marshall is good though but not really worth what we'd have to give up.


shankhole is gonna have a monster year at TE this season!

I saw papers today that says he has signed and jerseys are going to be printed tuesday

yeah they said he signed awhile ago and jersey were already being made for awhile now...no one knows if its true though.

My friend works for a jersey shop and the corp manager sent out an email stating that they will be getting their first shipments soon.

nice...everyone pretty much knows its gonna happen at this point but when...oooooohhhh the suspense lol!!!

vikes are gonna be mean...even people that hate the vikes have to feel it muahahahahahahahaha!!

Sorry for the delayed response; I was out weeding my garden. I am not going to begrudge a fellow his bad habit, or two; but to knowingly lite up before a [PoorWordUsage] test @ the draft combine isnt too brilliant a move that cost him millions in Zig-Zags. Hey maybe we should be thanking him for lighting up, because if he didnt get caught smoking the Vikings would not have had any chance of drafting him at 21 spot.

NFL Network's Mike Lombardi reports that he's "been hearing talk" that Tarvaris Jackson might request a trade if and when the Vikings sign Brett Favre.
Jackson, 26, has fairly respectable career stats (20:18 TDs to INTs, 58.4% completions, 10-9 record) but no one is going to look at him as a potential starter for this year. Experienced only in a West Coast offense, Jackson could appeal to St. Louis, Seattle, and perhaps Washington. Quarterbacks come at a premium, but it's hard to imagine Jackson even attracting a mid-to-late round pick at this stage of the offseason. Jul. 13 - 7:38 pm et
