wolfden1 Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Don't have a link...just listening to ESPN radio this afternoon. Clayton hosts the 3-7 Saturday afternoon show w/ Randy Mueller (old Bills GM). They both referenced a possible trade of A.Boldin to the Vikes for Michael Bennett and a 2nd round pick. They both quickly shot it down, saying "it'll never happen"....but why did they bring it up at least 3 times?? Anyone hear anything about this??

Rovers Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I recall hearing that Boldin asked for a trade, was it because they wouldn't renogiate his contract? I think so, so rumour was he went to the Vikes to seek a trade. Personally, that trade makes some sense to me, if not for Bennett, then for Smith. Boldin and CPep would make a very nice combo in minny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbimm Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Mueller was GM of the Saints, not Bills. 722790[/snapback] You are correct and I still can't figure out why he isnt here anymore. Whats more baffling is why he isnt a GM anywhere right now. He brought alot of talent to the Saints organization. He did leave Seattle on bad terms also so maybe there is a personality issue or something like that . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donutrun Jellies Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I like the deal for both teams. Bennett should be better than he is -- and is better than anything Ari has, and Boldin will go along way towards filling Moss' shoes ... Minny's loaded at RB, so the move makes sense. Who knows if it's real, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Swerski Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I've heard about this rumor as well and have no idea where this crap gets started. Bennett is more or less worthless at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordo Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 You are correct and I still can't figure out why he isnt here anymore. Whats more baffling is why he isnt a GM anywhere right now. ... 722793[/snapback] Basically one of two reasons he's not in NOLA any longer: [a] he had a habit of doing things without running them through Benson first or there was a power struggle between Mueller and Fielkow, and Arnie won. I've heard both explanations from very reliable sources in or very close to the organization, and both are certainly plausible. Irregardless of what actually happened, it's pretty obvious that the old man has essentially blackballed Mueller and none of the other NFL owners will touch him ... Personally, I loved the guy. He did the hour radio show every Wednesday, and you would hear some really good stuff, not the usual party line every head coach and GM in the NFL typically spews out ...

gogo2146 Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 There is still no word on this matter in AZ. I live here and have been keeping my ear to the ground for any information. I guess we will find out soon. As a Boldin owner I hope this happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schellin30 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Considering Bennett's gross lack of vision and balance, the Vikings would be getting the better deal by a wide margin. 722861[/snapback] His 4.1 40 speed really sucks too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gspot Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 (edited) His 4.1 40 speed really sucks too. 723182[/snapback] Yea, he was a sprinter and has world-class speed. He runs right into the backs of his offensive lineman faster than most. His lack of vision and cutting ability has been an issue since he played at Wisky! When you consider he often gets tripped up and thrown off balance by an index finger, his tough running style is also a benefit. No question though, the dude can run in a strait line faster than anyone! Edited March 7, 2005 by gspot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
