T-Scorp Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 So which of these receivers do the Vikings target in free agency? Or do they try and get Edwards or Williams in the draft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 IMHO, the last thing the Vikes will want to do is replace a supposed "cancer" with a guy like Burress. I say he's a no-go. I don't think they'll fall into the false sense of security with old man Muhsin ouch-My-hammy. I could see Coles going there - and prospering. Mason would probably do well there, too... but would come with a pricier tag than Coles. They may go after Williams in the draft, too.

Guest Sores Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I think either Braylon Edwards or Derrick Mason will end up in Minnesota if the trade of Moss goes through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Last year, Culpepper proved he could do just fine with Burleson, Robinson, and Campbell. Wiggins really stepped it up, and Kleinsasser is back. Â I think the Vikes would be better off rolling with their offense as-is and addressing their godawful defense.

Rovers Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 The Vikes have more cap space than anyone else in the NFL. If they want Mason, they can get him, no problem. Will this new owner be willing to spend more money? There would still be a HUGH amount of cap space available to address the needs of the defensive shortcomings.

Hopefully there will be quality players left. Moss was too good to not get alot for him. Edited February 23, 2005 by borge007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muck Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Get Mason and draft Williams... Â ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitztalk Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I thought Burleson really stepped it up when Moss was out. They may take someone in free agency but I don't think they will spend a bunch of money. It will likely be a Marcus Robinson calibur guy.

Donutrun Jellies Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Get Mason and draft Williams... ??? 709420[/snapback] Don't worry (Mason now), be happy (williams the future) ... Would be sweet. They still couldn't play defense, but they'd still be worth buying tickets to see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piranha Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I think Muhammed will fit in nicely in Minn. I think he would have fit in even nicer if they kept Moss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perchoutofwater Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 They should spend there money in FA on the defensive side of the ball. Burleson looked real good last year when Randy was out. They should draft a WR with their first pick. I doubt Edwards or Mike Williams will fall to them, but if they could get Troy Williams, Roddy White or Mark Clayton, I'd think they and their fans should be happy.

Rebellab Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 They need to pick up someone. Burleson is good, but part of that was the fear of Moss. Without a deep threat Burleson will be covered heavier. He did step it up with Moss out, but if he is the #1 receiver out of the shoot he will ultimately get more attention every game. The new owner will have to spend money, or will lose on his investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Â 709367[/snapback] Â Â Â Â I don't remember the specifics, and I'm too lazy to do the research, but I know as a Daunte owner that his numbers fell off pretty dramatically when Moss went down (admittedly had he kept up that pace he'd have been vying with Peyton for most TDs), and I thought the Vikings tailed off as well, no?

pork chop express Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 i think they would be best suited for drafting Williams. I think he is the real deal and can be formed into an outstanding player for the future. he is big, fast and strong. no injuries, not age issues. i am actually hoping he is still there for the Skins at the 9th pick.

Yukon Cornelius Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 coles cause he will be cheaper... they will not draft a wr but use the 2 picks on defence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9ersdude Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I think Mason would be great in this offense. He may cost a little more but it would be worth it. I also think they should trade Michael Bennett for a pick or a solid defensive player, they would still have three good RBs in O. Smith, M. Moore and Williams. With the cap room they have and the picks they can really revamp the D, which we all know, really needs it. Any money they have left over should be used to buy CPEP some "stickum".
