Tons of credible rumors of us desperately shopping for trades at spring meetings.
Cmon, are you really going to say that all these deals paint a picture of shrewd negotiation? I know many will make excuses for each of these transactions individually. But how many individual excuses can you make without acknowledging a pattern?

I wish Veech was more like Carl Peterson- he out-negotiated every team bringing in Mighty Mouse and Carlton Gray. He really played hardball with Dan Williams- who never played another snap for us. And thankfully he traded that "Young man at risk" Jared Allen to the Vikes to make sure we had no pass rush for 5 years.
Man I miss the Good ol' days.
