One of my commenters over in the never-ending thread threw out this nugget this afternoon:
You obviuosly [sic] don't know what you're talking about man. The Jets have already drawn up a proposal that would send Vilma, S. Moss, and their 1st round pick to Minn[sic]Now considering the spelling, and the fact that this "proposal" hasn't been written about anywhere, and considering that Vilma's a great defender who the Jets would never give up on after one year, I'm not so sure I buy the veracity of this rumor. It's kind of like one of those things Peter Vecsey makes up and calls a "trade possibility."
That said, I would make this trade in a heartbeat if I were the Vikings. Not only would we be getting a solid receiver and a likely all-Pro defender for years to come, but that first-round pick would go a long way towards filling another hole. And not only that, but I'd love to see Randy in New York. Seeing Mr. Straight Cash Homey try to handle the media would be quite a scene- but thankfully, he wouldn't have to drive.
