text: who should the vikes get for pepper? i dont want to see this guy go. last year he had a bad season ok but farve did to. yes he has an injury. but y does he want to be traded. heres wut i think. moss wasnt the problem that they loss. it was injures. like matt birk. johnson is a vet and he can play with injures. the last season with moss he was hurt and they still got in the playoffs with out him. even if pepper wants to go i wouldnt let him cus johnson is gonna retire. i would hold on to him even if he wants to go. but if he does who should they get. i say if its for oakland (doubt it cus moss and pepper back if moss isnt traded) probly a 1st round and maybe even moss cus they really got no one. i would probly for the fins. bring gus ferrotte back maybe some picks and a line backer or coner. wut fo u think bout this they will probably get conditional draft pick(s) for him. he is coming off an injury and didn't do so hot last season before he injured, so no other team is going to be stupid enough to invest too much in him until he has proven he is worth it. where he goes, nobody knows yet, but i'm betting it's oakland. they just cut collins, so they have room in the cap to get dc. the thinking also is teaming up dc and moss again will be great, but i don't think it will be as good as it has been in the past. dc is coming off injury and will be "gun shy" for the first season at least, and moss is past his prime. he still a few good years left, but not great years. he's been sitting out games with injuries he would have played through a few years ago, and he is slowing down.  what the vikes need to do is keep johnson as starter and draft a qb 1st round that they can groom. johnson has 1, maybe 2 years left as a starter. their running game is what is really hurting ever since robert smith retired. with all the money they have to spend this year, they can get a good back in free agency that can do 20+ carries a game (james or lewis), and get some good defensive players for the new "dungy d" or "tampa 2", or whatever they are calling it now. the front o line may need some tweaking, but with birk coming back, that alone will greatly improve it's performance.
