Sold. 2 years.

Yeah, he's old and probably done. But I've always been a big fan. Let's take a flyer just in case he gets one more chance.

He's a class act.

Maybe Seattle should have kept him. Morris looked pathetic last week, not to mention last year...and now with their 3rd starting WR gone to the IR, they could use someone back there.....

Meh, just another guy who's production coincidentally took a huge hit when he finally got paid (ahem, Jared Allen?).

I may be mis-remembering it, but wasn't his performance hit due to two injuries after he signed the big contract?

Hey, don't let the facts get in the way of me sweeping generalization.

It's a bit early to be bashing Jared Allen for his fat contract, isn't it. Bernard Berrian, on the other hand...

Jared Allen was just tongue in cheek. At least Allen did something to deserve his fat contract in the past. I'm not sure what Berrian ever did to make the Vikes so enamoured.

I have to give Allen some credit for Game 1: although he had no sacks and no tackles, it sounds like (I was listening on the radio) he was was wreaking havoc on their O-line. After the third penalty in the first quarter on Clifton, the radio announcer said: "Basically, Clifton has no choice but to hold Allen if he wants to protect his QB". That bodes well for the future...
