Other than the trade to acquire Donovan McNabb, some of the biggest name players the Vikings have gone after have been ones they ended up not landing.
We now have two more names to add to that list.
According to Jeremy Fowler, the Vikings showed interest in defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth prior to his being shipped to New England and also prior to the Vikings signing Remi Ayodele.
This isn’t the first time the Vikings have shown interest in Haynesworth, as they flirted with that idea in the moments leading up to the 2010 Draft over one year ago. The interest, even if it didn’t work out, suggests that the Vikings have some serious concerns about the defensive tackle position and those concerns probably still linger.
The Vikings were also rumored, on Thursday, to have shown interest in Saints left tackle Jermon Bushrod. Once the news of their interest broke, speculation immediately turned to the future of current starting left tackle Bryant McKinnie.
Bushrod ended up signing a two year deal with New Orleans, but again, the fact that the Vikings looked into could suggest what things are soon to come if another worthy opportunity presents itself.
