To all in Viking Nation. Can't thank you enough for your cheers over the past 6 years! You've been awesome to me and my family. God Bless!

I guess the Vikings felt it was time to let Blair White do his thing. I'm gonna miss Longwell. Such a class act. I guess it didn't make sense to keep two kickers but this definitely comes to a surprise. I thought White would take the backseat for at least another season. Picking him in the 6th, I guess they really want him to takeover now.

wow, kind of surprising- i really liked longwell

i suppose this is a money-saving/get younger move

I'm surprised by the timing of it. I thought they'd bring both to camp and at least have a competition. We'll see how Walsh turns out.

Well give Longwell a shot at joining a contender.
Not a crushing lose to me.
