OrangeSkin Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 It's time to welcome Walter Rasby back. I have no problem with him. He'll come on the cheap and will serve essentially the same purpose as Kleinsasser would have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Brown #43 Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 "Flush with plenty of salary cap room, the Minnesota Vikings put some of it to good use Tuesday night, reaching a contract agreement with Jim Kleinsasser, ESPN.com has learned. One of the NFL's best but still underrated tight ends, Kleinsasser will sign a five-year contract worth about $15 million. The deal includes a $4.25 million signing bonus and comes just hours before the standout tight end would have become a free agent." Had we signed him, the lead would have looked a little more like this... "Already in cap hell, the Washington Redskins dug themselves even deeper Wednesday by agreeing to a contract with Jim Kleinsasser, ESPN.com has learned. One of the NFL's least productive tight ends, Kleinsasser signed a five-year contract worth about $15 million. The NFL is investigating the deal, which includes a $4.25 million signing bonus, as it is believed the Redskins jumped the gun and instigated negotiations before the free agent signing period began."

carlsbadd Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 The vikes are 30 or so million under the cap. It's money well spent for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sisko Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 He signed for a bit less than I thought he would. Too bad he didn't get a chance to check out Redskins 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raub Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Thank goodness. I can't imagine paying that much to a TE to block well. I'm sure we can find someone to block well and catch a few passes for far less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
