Merriman was already selected and James was the best pure DE on the board at the time. But his hold out hurt him. The fight with Chester Taylor didn't endear him to the team, then the untimely injuries. It seems to have reached the point where the Vikings are tired of spending the money and not getting the results. <BR/><BR/>He did have $7 mil guaranteed so if wise, he will be very comfortable the remainder of his years whether he gets picked up somewhere or not. I will wager a soda that he does and the Jags are the first team that come to mind. Any team that is willing to take a flier on him should be able to get him cheap and then after an evaluation, place him on the PUP and later on IR if necessary, and maybe get lucky getting the DE we thought he would be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
