VIKINGS TRADE

Dang.  When was the last time we did a mid-season trade?  Maybe I've just been in outer space, but I can't think of anything terribly recently.

Anyway, Vikings have ponied up LB Gerald Hodges for C Nick Easton and a 2016 6th-round pick from the San Francisco 49ers.

Knowing absolutely NOTHING about Nick Easton, I'm ok with this trade.  I'm going to miss Hodges - from what I've read about him dude is a hard worker and a class act (this is mostly from him surprising his dad by adding "JR" to his jersey as a sign of respect), and we can always use those on our team.  But we have plenty of depth at line and we SEEM to be performing there (not this past Sunday though...) and considering our injury problems, a new backup center could be just the ticket to get Teddy ever more comfortable in the pocket.

Let's hope Teddy and Nick like each other, I do not want to see fumbled exchanged come midseason!! Or, frankly, at any point in the season.

SKOL!
