Pieces Of The Puzzle: The Vikings Are Coming Donovan McNabb Loses Sidney Rice, Ryan Long To Keep Well
The Vikings have their turn, have their kicker, but they lost their No. 1 receiver.
Although the purchase agreement Donovan McNabb Washington in a trade for two sixth-round future is needed is a "fact", according to a person familiar with the situation, the receiver Sidney Rice, changed the momentum of the Vikings offensive signed a five-year $ 44 million with Seattle worth $ 18.5 million guaranteed.
Efforts to achieve rice has failed, and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said he does not speak with the media.
Kicker Ryan Longwell signed a multi-year deal to return to the Vikings, a representative with Frank Bauer, Longwell agent, told the Pioneer Press. The transaction is expected to be worth $ 12 million over four years, including $ 3.5 million guaranteed.
But the Vikings had hoped for a round of rice would be a balance offensive attack has already solidified in the running game behind Adrian Peterson and the passing game short to intermediate with the slot receiver Percy Harvin and tight end Visanthe Shiancoe and Kyle Rudolph.
Now they need vertical threats, which could be sufficient to Bernard Berrian and his salary of $ 3.9 million.
Except in rare 71-Recognition of last season, the Vikings have trouble finding his own identity on the board. Berrian failed to score the paint for the first time since 2005. Greg Camarillo (20 catches, 240 yards) never found a rhythm in the offense after his arrival in Minnesota in late August trade. Free-agent acquisition of Devin Aromashodu is a role player at best after 10 catches last season in Chicago. The rest of the crop has been shown - Jayma Johnson, Juaquin Iglesias and former Canadian Football League star Emmanuel Arceneaux caught between a career in the NFL.
Some of the top left wing of the free will of the New York Jets' Braylon Edwards, Malcolm Floyd, San Diego, Jacksonville, Mike Sims-Walker, Green Bay and James Jones. Do not be surprised if the Vikings at least inquire about their players' contractual requirements.
Rice, who was wounded in three of its four seasons, has 146 career receptions for 2,129 yards and 18 affected. Rice had his best season with Brett Favre in 2009, catching 83 passes for over 1,300 yards and eight TDs on his way to a vote in the Pro Bowl. But he had only 17 catches for 280 yards after missing most of last season after hip surgery.
Seattle probably offer more money than the cash-strapped Vikings, who became a free choice centers around a salary cap limit of $ 120400000.
Along Well still make economic sense as a vital piece of the puzzle of the Vikings. He turned 94 percent (17 18) of his field goal attempts last season, the best kicker in the league at least 13 times.
Since entering the league in 1997, long well made 339 goals in 406 attempts to land, or 83.5 percent. He played the last five seasons with the Vikings after nine years in Green Bay.
Longwell is the first of the '16 Vikings unrestricted free once again with the team since the start of negotiations on Tuesday.
As for McNabb, the Vikings have to restructure its five-year, $ 78 million was signed last season by a smaller amount, perhaps in a compromise with one or two years the team of the couple's first-round Christian Ponder to take longer.
Under the transition rules under the new CBA, a player whose contract was restructured after a trade can not practice with the team until August 4 when the New Year begins the league. The rule forces McNabb to miss five practices in training camp in Mankato, which begins Monday.
Six-time Pro Bowler Washington bench twice last season in favor of Rex Grossman. McNabb completed 58.3 percent of his 14 touchdowns passes, 15 interceptions and 77.1 passer rating.
Vikings coach Brad Childress old, who was offensive coordinator in Philadelphia, McNabb said Wednesday that the NFL Network expects to see a resurgence of McNabb.
"If I know Donovan has a chip on his shoulder right now," Childress said. "This is an" A "Guy character."
In short: The Vikings have signed 14 rookie free agents: Rod Huntley, G, UTEP, Allen Reisner, FB / TE, Iowa; Marcell Gipson, CB, Wyoming, David Akinniyi, DE, North Carolina State, Byron Isom, G, Auburn Andre Holmes, WR, Hillsdale, Devon Torrence, CB, Ohio State, Ryan Hill, FS, Miami, Conan Amituanai, G, Arizona, Matt Asiata, HB / FB, Utah, Chris Adingupu, FS, Prairie View, Dominique Johnson, WR , Cal Poly, Larry Dean, LB, Valdosta State, Nathan Whitaker, K, Stanford.
