I had a number of inquiries over the weekend about Colts running back Edgerrin James. Seemingly, there is a rumor going around that the Vikings could be interested in obtaining the star running back. What is this based on? Nothing more than a story coming out of Indianapolis in which James thinks he is on the out.
"I don't see nothing happening,'' James told The Indianapolis Star. "You can read between the lines and from the things I'm hearing, nothing's going to happen.
"And that's crazy, man. I'm part of the solution; I'm not part of the problem. Crazy, man.''
Before I discuss the chances of James wearing purple next season, a little history. James is listed to become an unrestricted free agent in March. A year ago, the team spanked a franchise tag on him. James signed a $8.081 million, one-year offer not long thereafter, for the reason that he was troubled that the team was ready to retract it. I’m sure you will also recall the rumors that the Colts would accept as little as a third-round draft pick in exchange.
So that brings us to 2006. The Colts, already with cap problems thanks to the QB who has never won squat, will have to let either James or wide receiver Reggie Wayne go. They will need the money to extend the contract of three-time Pro Bowl defensive end Dwight Freeney as well as retaining other key FA's.
So, in reality, do the Vikes have a chance. Yes. Will they? A resounding NO if we are to believe that head coach Brad Childress sticks by his recent quote to use the Running Back by Committee method rather than the One Big Stud method at running back.
And that is too bad as James would fit in great with the West Coast type offense that will be implemented for the 2006-2007 season. But let's face it. There is a far better chance of the Twins getting a World Series ring this year than James coming to Minnesota. And the Twins will suck.
Too bad on both fronts. Next?
