Daunte Trade???

Sorry, I haven't had computer access for a few days.

But reports are the Vikings are going to trade Daunte probably in the next 2 hours. The reports I am hearing indicate to either the Dolphins, Rams, or the Raiders. For probably no more than a third round draft pick this year, and maybe another conditional non 1st next year.

For the trade

1. Childress thinks Daunte will be a distracting malcontent all-season ala TO last season
2. Due to Daunte's slow release he just doesn't fit in the West Coast Offense.
3. Daunte's injury could affect his mobility taking away his greatest asset as a QB.
4. Daunte wasn't too good last year.

Against

1. You are giving away a 3 time pro bowl qb that's 29 for what last year amounted to Dustin Fox. A QB that threw 39 TD's and 11 Int's in 2004 for the highest QB rating ever.
2. Daunte was injured last year, before his knee got injured with a bad back. Also he wasn't helped by a terrible O-line, no running game, and a struggling D.

I would hope the Vikings have a plan. Drew Brees is also risky because of his shoulder, but it's no sure sign that he'll sign with the Vikings. I hope they'll not counting on someone like the erratic Josh McCown as the answer.

It's possible Ravens LB Bart Scott could be coming to town visit soon. Chester Taylor also could be coming in soon.

If Daunte is traded to Saint Louis is Marc Bulgar coming to the Vikings?
