again, it wasnt 300k it was over 5mill more in the next 3 years. Smoot may want the playoffs, but tice might not be there too long and i think the vikings are going to be worse this year (better D, worse O, but still able to go one and done in the playoffs).
If he presses them to take gardner, that'd be the best thing he could do for us right now. He may even fit better there, though i'm sure he's going to lower culpepper's completion %
