I have to tell you this is playing hard ball!!! This is something that most around the NFL would have guessed Redskins or Cowboys ownership would have come up with! Not so!!! The Vikings and Hawks may have open up a can of worms that will have many around the NFL taking a hard look at come the next free agent time. My guess this will be taken care of before then. Still it takes balls to do what both teams did! Vikings made a big mistake by offering the lowest-level tender to thier WR and made it only a 3rd rounder if he was signed. This is going to be something all teams will look at before picking a tender level on RFA! That is unless with the new contract has changed the way these things are done. Like I said both have real balls and will anyone say both teams over spend?
