Coach Brad Childress wouldn't guarantee Tuesday that LT Bryant McKinnie will be part of the Vikings' long-term foundation. McKinnie's off-field woes may threaten his availability for the start of the season. "We could face some difficult decisions down the road," Childress said. McKinnie signed a $48.5 million extension in September of 2006. Source: Minneapolis Star-Tribune UPDATE http://www.startribune.com/sports/16882466.html i wonder if the phins would be interested?
I think phins would be interested considering he went to the U. They say theres no place like home......why not let him come home?
I wouldn't do it because we already have a LT in Vernon Carey. Unless Vernon wants to move to RT, then I would consider it. If Vernon agrees then I would do that trade if they gave us an extra draft choice. Not to high of a one because obviously they wouldn't do it but maybe a fourth rounder? Imo, this would be a win/win situation for each team because we get a LT instead of investing a high draft choice in one and they get a premier Defensive End to help their lack of a pass rush. EDIT: Also, I would do this because he is only 28 years old and some offensive linemen tend to play to the ages of 32-35 and because he is durable. He hasn't missed a game in five seasons and the only time he did not play a whole season was his rookie year where he played in eight games, starting seven.
