L.T. leaves with jersey, no contract
A couple years ago, it would have been unthinkable, but former San Diego Chargers superstar back LaDanian Tomlinson is an unrestricted free agent. He visited the Minnesota Vikings and by all reports was wowed by the team. But on Thursday he left Winter Park with a purple jersey in hand, but lacking a signed contract.
Word is that LT doesn’t have blinds on his eyes, but is getting on jet to visit the Jets because he promised them he would do so before making a decision. It’s hard to fault someone for being a man of his word.
The Vikings would be a great fit for LT and vice-verse; they have a great superstar back in Adrian Peterson who has modeled himself after LT, and who could use the mentoring LT could provide… especially in the area of hanging on to the ball. LT would replace Chester Taylor, who left the Vikings for the Chicago Bears shortly after the opening of free agency.
That allows the Vikes to sign someone to replace the free agent they lost, and the Vikings were quick to hone in on LT. Whether they can sign him after allowing him to leave Winter Park and visit the Jets will be the big question going into this weekend.
