Welborn9 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 L Network Vikings correspondent Ari Wolfe suggested live from Mankato Tuesday that LT Bryant McKinnie could be released in training camp. Wolfe was only speculating, but the sentiment was echoed by NFL Network's Jason La Canfora and is undoubtedly becoming a possibility. By all accounts, McKinnie is severely out of shape and believed to weigh even more than the 360 pounds he ballooned to by last season's end. (He's listed at 335.) McKinnie is due a $4.9 million salary plus $750,000 in bonuses, the latter of which are being withheld with McKinnie on the the active/NFI list. Monday's signing of Charlie Johnson appears to be a direct indication of the Vikings' concern. Damn the weight...we should get him and stck him at RT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just browsing his wikipedia article and 4 of the headlines are... "Boat Cruise Scandal" "Pro Bowl Incident" "2005 Gas Station Incident" "2008 Night Club Incident" That's a ton of red flags.

Let me know when McKinnie's bust goes to Canton. Seriously the 2002 Draft was full of busts. Very bad year for 1st Rd picks.

PTR Maybe so, but McKinnie was FAR from a bust. He never reached the Pace/Ogden level but he was a probowl LT, and a major part of any success that the Vikings had, including Peterson. With all of your criticism of McKinnie, will you be waving pom-poms if Nix does decide to sign him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about McKinnie, Henderson, L. Jones. Shockey, and C. Grant? Any of them are better than virtually any player we drafted since 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
