Savage Beatings Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 The Vikes picked up Fonoti last year to help with the O-line. He was injured part of the time and not in great shape, but the guy is huge and should do very well this year. I was hoping he would secure the right side of the Vikings line, but it looks like he will be going to the Raiders now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outshined Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Didn't we give up a draft pick for him and then he played one game and put him on IR. Maybe it was a conditional draft pick?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCREDIBLE!!! 1369639[/snapback] I immediately want to snap at ya, Chargerz, but you're right. The guy has only really played in 2 of his 4 seasons, and I'm pretty sure I was right when i thought I heard him practiclly begging for a job on NFL radio. Sighh....
