I'm a vikings fan and I just wanted to know what you guys think about this.

1) Did the Viking brass NOT see the Packer D last year??
2) Where are you seeing this?

Got it. Was checking JSONLINE and the startribune and couldn't find it. JS is saying 1 yr 1 million.

I'm none too happy if we lose Kampmann. He's a solid lineman I really like.

I think Green Bay is almost forced to match the offer 'cause there is little chance we could pick up a lineman, even in the first round, who could step in immediately and produce as well.

Damn, the 'Queens just cost us 350 grand!

i don't like the Vikes, i resepect thier players though. i now have to respect thier front office. this is one of the most interesting moves i've ever seen in football. sign a player to an offer sheet that you know the other team will match just to hurt thier salary cap. that's using the system.

and if GB does sign kampman back (which is likely) he'll always remember he has the vikes to thank for it.

duxrule, 350 grand will not cost you that much. you still will be able to sign whatever draft pick you guys get, and you will still field a good team next year. When I personally heard this, I thought that the Vikings office was too dumb to make that move. The Vikings fans aren't blind to their disadvantages. We see them, we just choose not to comment on them.
