There's buzz that the Vikings might sign ex-Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison, 36, who is near the end of his career and has tender knees, to a one-year, low-end deal to provide competition for Sidney Rice. Harrison started 15 games for the Colts in 2008 compiling 60 catches for 636 yards and five touchdowns. Source: St. Paul Pioneer Press
If he doesn't have anything left with Peyton Manning, I doubt he'll have anything left with Brett Favre. But you never know...stranger things have happened.
I still cant believe Harrison asked to be released from the Colts when he was slated to make something like 13 mil a year.
If nothing else Marvin could help the younger guys like Rice Harvin and Berrian, who never really had the chance to learn from a real vet WR.
He would've gotten the walking papers either way. 80 catches in two years does not equal $13M. If I were the Vikings I'd give him $1M ($250 in signing bonus/$750 in salary), $1M bonus if he hits 60 catches, $3M bonus if he hits 75...something like that...
Not really, theoretically, it gives him more time to find a new team and get acquainted with them...granted nothing has happened, but that's after the fact. Isray wanted Harrison to retire...Polian wanted to rework Marvin's $13.4M deal or eventually release him...Harrison requested to be traded. Caldwell wanted to keep him though...
He shot a guy and gets a contract offer? All Michael Vick did was kill dogs and he got crucified. Our justice system is messed up. :icon_cheesygrin:
