Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Suggest Foul Play From Romney Campaign
Ron Paul Reacts To Maine Caucus Results
Late last week, the Minnesota Vikings lost their complementary back to superstar Adrian Peterson when Chester Taylor signed with division rival Chicago. Tuesday morning, reports began to surface that the Vikings were in talks with Taylor's potential replacement: none other than former NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson. The interest was first reported in the Star Tribune and later ESPN's Adam Shefter tweeted that the team and veteran running back were in talks -- but that nothing is imminent. Once released from the Chargers, many believed Tomlinson would seek out a starting job to prove he's still capable of excelling as a featured back. If he does end up signing with the Vikings, questions about his ego should be brushed aside. There's no way he'd be delusional enough to think he'd overtake Peterson on the depth chart -- plus, he'd also be sharing the spotlight with iconic quarterback Brett Favre.
If things do progress and Tomlinson inks a deal with the Vikings, this would be a nice signing for both. Tomlinson will get to be utilized on a team who figures to win plenty of games and have another crack at reaching (and possibly winning) the Super Bowl. The Vikings will get their situational replacement to Peterson and, most importantly, that person would be someone who holds onto the football. Since the beginning of 2005, Tomlinson has carried the ball more 1,500 times and fumbled just eight times. Peterson has fumbled 20 times in 915 career carries.
Stay tuned, though, because Tomlinson is said to be in talks with other teams as well. He may indeed elect to be The Man instead of a role player with a chance at at title when all is said and done.
