As I've been saying to my Viking friends on Facebook.. I'm not happy Percy is no longer in purple, but I can't say I'm surprised and CAN say that it had to happen. Percy has said many times the past year that he wanted out. My mindset has always been in instances like these, if a player wants out and is coming up on the end of his contract, get something out of him at least. The Vikings did that. And boy did they ever.. Last I heard, Percy was projected as a 3rd rounder, 2nd rounder at BEST. And now all of a sudden the Vikings are to be getting at least a first rounder and some change (I heard 2 more picks between this and next years drafts)?? I'll take it.
Two dream scenarios for me include using one of them first rounders for Victor Cruz and dropping the other on a WR in the draft or sending both to AZ for Larry Fitz.
I said they were dream scenarios, though. |
 Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!! |

Meh. If the team is willing to part with 3 draft picks, by all means.. It sucks, though, as the Vikings will have a game next season at Seattle. You know Percy will be playing fired up that day. Edited by member Tuesday, March 12, 2013 12:08:19 PM(UTC)

You know Percy will be playing fired up that day. So the vikies lose or they lose to the team that Harvin is on. No difference because Harvin is there.  edit and yes you do. |

I was thinking the same thing, WPR. AFC, NFC, what does it matter? The Vikings will lose to either one anyways.  |

1st and a 6th this year plus a 3rd next year, yes I think the Vikes got the major deal on this one. |
 Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be :) |

The Vikes have no use for WRs. Just find a couple people that look just like Adrian Peterson with the last name of Peterson to confuse defenses. |
