I could do it. I can't block a 10 year old girl but I could play all three positions if asked to do so.

Michigan State CB Trae Waynes' visit with the Vikings has been confirmed.
Waynes previously wrote in his "draft diary" for USA Today he believed a visit was scheduled, and beat writer Chris Tomasson confirmed it. The fit makes a lot of sense, and our own Josh Norris has mocked it in the past. Head coach mike Zimmer has been known to invest money and early picks in cornerbacks, and the team has a need opposite Xavier Rhodes.

Re: 2015 Offseason - Free Agent/Draft Tracker
Call me crazy but I would like the vikings to bring in Tebow as the third string qb, maybe even 2nd. I think he could be better than Hill and he would be a positive influence on the team.
but, I think the eagles will scoop him up and when Bradford gets hurt Tebow will come in. With the power of Jesus on his side he will smite and throw down the heathens of the NFC east. There probably will be a new version of the bible with a new Tebow chapter recounting all of his glory.
Or maybe not.

It is not as much Tebow as it is his mafia. With Tebow comes the media attention and the fans that are willing to pay big bucks for billboards in your city to show that prophet's face. I personally have no desire at all to have Tebow come to Minnesota, his play doesnt even come close to outweighing the negatives attached to him.

Don't see how anything is negative around him. He is a winner who is always positive and smiling. Just a all around nice guy ( I have met him twice.)
Re: 2015 Offseason - Free Agent/Draft Tracker
That may be so, but he is a distraction to what the vikings already have going on with Bridgewater. If they signed Tebow, which they won't, if Teddy has one bad game all the Tebow maniacs would be going crazy saying he should be put in. It just sends the wrong signs.Norv Zimmer wrote:Don't see how anything is negative around him. He is a winner who is always positive and smiling. Just a all around nice guy ( I have met him twice.)

Zimmer is at Michigan State's pro day today. Looking at Trae Waynes I assume.

@christomasson Vikings among three strong candidates to sign free-agent safety Taylor Mays
http://blogs.twincities.com/vikings/201 ... ylor-mays/Mays has started just 10 of 66 career NFL games, including none last season. But CBS and NFL Network analyst Solomon Wilcots, a former Bengals and Vikings defensive back who lives in Cincinnati and closely has followed Mays’ career, believes he would be a good fit for the Vikings.
“Mays is more of an in-the-box safety who can hit,” Wilcots said. “He would help the defense. I still think he’s got better years ahead of him and I think Zim knows how to use him.’’

Here comes your Chad Greenway pay cut.
@TomPelissero Chad Greenway told me his agent and the #Vikings are working towards a new deal that will keep him in Minnesota for 2015. Wants to be here.

That is great and all but you completely ignored what I said and took one sentence from my comment and focused on it. I said the media attention and the cult of Tebow fans that follow him everywhere are the negatives.A good amount of teams do not want to deal with all of the attention especially when the guy is nowhere near being a starter. He has not proved to be a decent 4 quarted qb in the nfl, so what is the benefit of adding him if the negative is having Tebow Time haunt you every practice, press conference, game, and all offseason? No benefit.
And I have no problems with who Tebow is as a person, we have many things in common faith wise. But I think being a winner off the field is a bit different than being a winner on the field.

If he stays... it better not be a deal worth more than 2 million a year and he better not start any longer.
