Thoughts

Zyggi Wilf- Don't know much, he is supposed to be loaded, and also be a class act. Reggie Fowler is still involved. Hopefully, he will spend up to the Salary Cap. I would hope he does the following things upon taking ownership. 1. Re-work play contracts (i.e Culpepper, Winfield, Birk) to pay them more this year, to clear more cap room next-year. 2. Re-sign Rob Brezenki-The Salary Cap Genius. 3. Don't re-up Mike Tice till after this season with a demand of a 10-6 record plus a Playoff Win. 4. Push for a retracble stadium, so Minnesota gain get the Super Bowl again, as Paul Tagliabue has promised a Super Bowl to every city that builds a new Stadium, hence why it is back in Detroit. 5. Look into long-term extensions with Kevin Williams, Nate Burleson, and Bryant McKinnie. 6. Hire a O-Line or TE coach so John Tice and Steve Loney don't have to do double duty on Sunday.

Onterrio Smith-Well, he isn't a great back, but would have competed for the Number 1 job. I think unless he goes to treatment, he should be cut.

Corey Chavous- I think Wille Offord should have every chance to beat him out. Offord would provide more of what they really need, and that is a physical presence back there. Cut him if need be.

June 1 Cuts- A return specialist like a Chad Morton of the Redskins might be worth looking at. I don't know what else that is going to be on the Market they really need. A verstaile o- lineman could be worth looking at.

RB Trade- Not from what I am hearing though I wonder about a Brian Williams for Travis Henry swap possibilty. Shaun Alexander I would also not mind looking at since the Vikings have sufficent cap room and could get him for a 2nd in 06 probably.

Pro Football Weekly-There annual preview has the Vikings going 12-4, to combine with ESPN having them 4th in the Power Rankings. If either of these things are true consider me surpised. I see them as a 9-7, 10-6 team. I will comment on thier preview in depth, next week. Buy this if you can.

Paul Edinger- I think Aaron Elling could be the better kicker. Edinger in a competion with Doug Brien went 3 of 7, made 63 percent of his field goals last year. So I question his accuracy big time. I think Elling is the solution for now.
