Vikings Headed for Sloppy Seconds Again...

Today the Vikings have former Packer Javon Walker in for a tryout.  With question marks about Percy Harvin and the injury to Sidney Rice the Vikings are looking to add some Veteran insurance to their roster.  Here is a breakdown of Javon's receiving yardage since being traded from Green Bay for Denver in 2006.

2006 - 1,084
2007 - 287
2008 - 196
2009 - 0, 1 fumble

Not quite what they need for production replacement, but it will be interesting to see a Favre-Walker reunion as we all remember the comments Favre made about Walker during the holdout of 2005.

"If Javon wants to know what his quarterback thinks, and I would think he might, I’d tell him he’s going about this the wrong way,” Favre told the Green Bay Press-Gazette. “When his agent tells him not to worry about what his teammates think and all that stuff, I’d tell him I’ve been around a long time and that stuff will come back to haunt you.”

"He’s a great player,” Favre said. “I think he can help us. He’s likeable and easy to get along with, but I’m guessing he’s getting the wrong advice, and he’s buying into that.

“I just don’t see much good that can come from it. If it gets time for the start of training camp and he’s not in, I think it’ll start bothering him, and he’ll be here. But once again, nothing should surprise you.”

"We've got guys who'll give great effort. Stars are made that way. Look at what happened when Sterling (Sharpe) left. Robert Brooks stepped up. We can win without him."
