Hi Folks,
I've always told you I'll operate this thing on a "you'll know what I know" basis. This isn't "reporting" or "journalism". This is me telling you what I'm hearing. The following is 100% unconfirmed. But it's also something I'd want to know.
Lee Hamilton, afternoon drive sportstalk host on XX-1090 in San Diego is reporting that the Vikings are prepared to make an offer to San Diego for WR Vincent Jackson.

Yes, this is a long shot. Especially as there is talk that the league would have to lift Jackson's suspension to make the deal work. But it's an encouraging sign to see them talking. This would obviously be a big boost for Brett Favre.
If Jackson is a guy that you can add without much cost, I'd roll the dice on him if you're in need of a WR. It's clear the Vikings need a #1 WR with Rice out.
Bottom line is don't do anything rash. This is UNCONFIRMED and I'm just passing this along as something I'm hearing. If you made me put a number on how likely I think something would happen here, I'd say 30%. But for some of you guys, that makes it worth grabbing Jackson if he's available.
This may or may not be happening, but there has been a lot of smoke lately, so I figured we could start a thread.
I really hope this doesn't happen, the last thing Favre needs is another big time target. Once Sidney Rice comes back Minnesota could have the best 1-3 wide receivers in the league along with a top 2 back. I wouldn't want to have to deal with that.
