Bill --

At first, when I read this today I thought it was a dream come true.
But then I thought about the cost in picks (two #1's??) and the risk
(he has multiple DUI's).

However, if the Vikes can get him for this years's #17 and either
one of their two 3rd round picks this year or next year's #2 (which
I also read is the Viking offer) it is certainly worth it.

Can you imagine the impact of 3 pro-bowl starters on the defensive
line??? It almost makes me look forward to playing Peyton Manning in
game 2. And what an introduction for Rogers in his first game (on
Monday night).

Rusty
