Sean Jensen, of the Pioneer Press, reports Minnesota Vikings OT Bryant McKinnie said last month he didn't want to remain with the Vikings if they traded QB Daunte Culpepper. Now however, McKinnie, who will enter the final year of his contract, said he is open to remaining with the team. "If I get to the point where I'm at the end of my contract, then of course I'm going to look around," McKinnie said. "But they don't need to trade me right now because he's gone."


Seahawks | Team to meet with Burleson
Tue, 14 Mar 2006 19:40:50 -0800

Sean Jensen, of the Pioneer Press, reports the Seattle Seahawks will meet with Minnesota Vikings restricted free agent WR Nate Burleson Thursday, March 16 and Friday, March 17, his agent Ken Sarnoff said. Burleson confirmed the visit and said, "I always loved the Seahawks and Sonics, because I was a hometown guy." The Vikings would receive a third-round pick if the Seahawks, or any other club, successfully signs restricted free agent Burleson. Seattle would appeal to Burleson because his parents still live in the area.


so, burleson isn't superhot on staying and McKinnie talked a big game, but when it came time to back it up, he choked. McKinnie and Smoot bothed said they were confident with B Johnson starting.
