Winfield, Allen and the Favre Watch

WINFIELDGreat news, the Vikes agreed on a five year $36 million dollar extension for the 32 year old cornerback. In the contract are some interesting points that could add or subtract from the deal (like if Winfield isn’t a starter in 2011, his salary would be greatly reduced).This is a win-win deal. Winfield is a solid cornerback. Excellent against the run and above average against the pass. He is thought of by many as the best tackling cornerback in the NFL. With the clauses included, the Vikes didn’t spend a ridiculous amount on him without covering their back.This is nothing, but good news for the Vikings and their fans!ALLENAlso today, the Vikes signed third-round pick, Asher Allen. Allen is a cornerback that will battle for the nickel role with Charles Gordon and Marcus McCauley. Allen likely will also be used on Special Teams.First-round pick, Percy Harvin and second-round pick, Phil Loadholt remain unsigned.FAVRE WATCHStill the Brett Favre watch continues to be a soap opera....
