You've heard the talk about LaDainian Tomlinson: He's no longer an elite
running back, not nearly as dangerous as he once was.
Defensive tackle Jimmy Kennedy, who was a key part of the Vikings' defensive
line rotation last season, has a free-agent visit scheduled with the Buffalo
Bills on Thursday.
Only seven players in NFL history have rushed for more yards than LaDainian
Tomlinson. Five of them are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The other two
become eligible next year.
The Gophers coach and ex-Chargers assistant believes the Vikings and
LaDainian Tomlinson are a perfect fit.
Vikings coach Brad Childress is expected to testify on Friday morning in the
Williams case.
Unrestricted free agent, Jimmy Kennedy, has set up a visit Thursday with the
Buffalo Bills. NFL.com was the first to report the story.
The Vikings wined and dined free-agent running back LaDainian Tomlinson on
Wednesday night at a steakhouse in downtown Minneapolis.
It appears the Vikings may be on a verge of losing their lone remaining
unrestricted free agent, but also on the verge of adding another well-known
player to their offensive backfield.
Just to update you on the latest: Free-agent running back LaDaininan
Tomlinson dined Wednesday night with Minnesota officials and at least one
player in downtown Minneapolis. Tomlinson also spoke with several media
outlets, including the Star Tribune and WCCO.
When the Minnesota Vikings signed kicker Rhys Lloyd to a two-year contract
earlier this week, it wasn't to challenge Ryan Longwell as the team's field
goal and PAT specialist. Lloyd, who has one of the strongest legs in the
NFL, was brought in to handle kickoffs.
Will they sign him? You can bet that question wafted through minds all
across the nation when word leaked that former all-pro running back
LaDainian Tomlinson was expected to visit the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday.
With Chester Taylor signing with the Chicago Bears, the Vikings are in the
market for a third-down running back. Percy Harvin should be the guy to fill
the void.
Vikings defensive tackle Kevin Williams took the stand Tuesday in the
Williams Wall case against the NFL. He expected to continue testimony
Wednesday, with Pat Williams also scheduled to take the stand.
It's expected that free agent running back LaDainian Tomlinson will have
some questions for Minnesota officials when he visits the team's practice
facility Thursday.
As the free-agent market rolls on, we have a pretty important legal
proceeding taking place in Minnesota.
Vikings coach Brad Childress knows LaDainian Tomlinson will have plenty of
questions when the free-agent running back visits Winter Park on Thursday.
Star Tribune March 10, 2010
All-Pro defensive tackle Kevin Williams testified Tuesday he has never taken
steroids or steroid-masking agents.
Hall of Fame-bound LaDainian Tomlinson set to visit Thursday.
The agent for cornerback Benny Sapp said Tuesday that while he had
discussions with other teams his client wanted to remain in Minnesota.
We reported in today's Star Tribune that the Vikings were interested in
LaDainian Tomlinson. That interest apparently is going to result in a visit
to Winter Park for the veteran running back.
Cornerback Benny Sapp has re-signed with the Vikings, according to a tweet
from his agent Andy Simms.
Rhys Lloyd is very familiar with kicking in the Metrodome after playing
college football for the Gophers.
Running back LaDainian Tomlinson will make a free-agent visit Thursday to
the Minnesota Vikings, according to Sports Illustrated.
Vikings defensive star Kevin Williams denied ever using steroids or trying
to mask performance-enhancing drugs in his seven-year NFL career Tuesday
when he testified in his Hennepin County trial against the league.
Well. Not long after we asked our inaugural "Big Question," Minnesota took a
step toward answering it. The Vikings scheduled a Thursday visit with
running back LaDainian Tomlinson, indicating he is their top choice to
replace Chester Taylor as Adrian Peterson's backup/third-down back.
There has been a natural connecting of the dots between Minnesota coach Brad
Childress and free agent Brian Westbrook, his former player in Philadelphia.
The Vikings landed their first free agent Monday night when former Gophers
kicker Rhys Lloyd agreed to a two-year contract, and it appears the team has
its sights set on another whose acquisition would create plenty of buzz.
