If Haloti Ngata was available for a measley 4th & 5th, Lesean McCoy for Kiko Alonso and Jimmy Graham for a 1st (and Max Unger), then Jerry needs to put on his Trader Jimmy hat and start trolling for opportunities too.

Start with FS Harrison Smith. The young playmaker is on the verge of stardom, Smith would be the pefect center fielder for the Cowboys and if the Cowboys can sign Hardy, then give up a first for this kid to shore up the middle of the defense.

Then go after Jets' DE Quinton Coples.

You have to pay these players after you trade for them. Ngata has regressed and cost 8.5 million dollars. You also only get him for 1 year before he is a free agent.

Something screwy is going on with Philly, and they weren't going to trade with us. The Saints are crazy as well, but we weren't trading for Jimmy Graham, who wants WR1 money.

You aren't just trading for the player, you have to take on his contract.

Why in the **** would Minn trade Harrison Smith if he is a young player on the verge of stardom?

Same reason why these other teams are getting rid of players - not able to sign them long term or trying to rebuild their team with picks. It's not rocket science, Vikes are far from contention and they are in re-build mode.

But look at the original post. Ngata is the only "bargain" trade, Buffalo gave up a good young defensive player and giving up a first round pick and an all pro center for Graham isnt exactly a heist either.

Yet they have proclaimed they want to keep AP and even met with him for 4 hours.

No one is trading a 26 year old star FS with a $1.3M salary for nothing

Jimmy is the best or 2nd best TE in the game right now. And he's proven this over time. Unger can't stay healthy and he's not close to being the best at his position.

Greg Hardy is out there for the taking. No trade necessary.

Just that little suspension to deal with however. Between he and Rolondo our defense will be killer in October!! Lol

Signing Greg Hardy limits you from making a trade? Does Jerry not know how to multi task? Can Hardy play FS?

Just give up the Harrison Smith thing. The vikings have no reason and no intentions of trading him. Spare yourself the undo anguish and humiliation.
