Star Tribune - Receiver Marcus Fitzgerald will receive a tryout from the Minnesota Vikings. He is the younger brother of Pro Bowl receiver Larry Fitzgerald of the Arizona Cardinals.
Green Bay Press Gazette - According to columnist Mike Vandermause, the only thing that will prevent Brett Favre from joining the Minnesota Vikings is his torn biceps. If the injury requires surgery, then that would likely end his career.
Minnesota and Favre attempted to unite before last season and with the quarterback now a free agent, there is nothing to prevent the two from coming to terms.
Pioneer Press - Talks between the Vikings and cornerback Antoine Winfield regarding an extension have broken down, according to the Pro Bowler's agent.
"There are no active negotiations and there are no further talks planned," agent Ashanti Webb said in a text message to the Pioneer Press.
When asked how he felt about the breakdown Webb said, "Disappointed. Very disappointed."
Winfield is entering the final year of a six-year, $34.8 million contract, which will pay him $6 million in 2009.
"I definitely want to end my career in Minnesota, so hopefully we'll get something done sometime this year," Winfield told the Pioneer Press on March 20.
ESPN - The Vikings have added pages to their playbook for rookie wide receiver Percy Harvin, their first-round selection.
Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said there are 20 or 30 plays in their scheme designed specifically for the fleet-footed Harvin.
"We're up there trying to diagram everything we can," Bevell said. "We're looking at things we can do. We're looking at things other teams have done and trying to get the ball to our playmakers."
"I didn't expect to be in July without a deal," Winfield said. "Personally, I'm a little disappointed. They consider me a core player, but they're not showing me that."
Winfield, who hadn't spoken to the media in a month, told the Pioneer Press he had been hearing privately the same positive comments team officials had been saying about him publicly.
"If they want me here, they should be able to get a deal done. There shouldn't be a problem," Winfield said. "If they don't, then they need to say that and let's work toward a resolution that works out good for everyone."
