Brad definitely, as much as he can and as much as he remembers, has been trying to help the coaches and myself recognize different things and different tendencies about their team. He's a Viking now, so he's going to help us do whatever he can to help us win and he's doing that.

I have made a good faith gesture toward the organization by offering to move my roster bonus around if it will help clear more cap space to sign free agents. If I am not traded, I want to help coach (Brad) Childress make a serious run for the championship this year.

When you can run the ball, it definitely helps the passing game. The linebackers can't drop back into their zones as quickly. We're going to try to start quickly in the running game.

changes contract cut discussion enjoying expect field guarantees helped hit pay plan prepare present ran ready realize therefore traded wherever year
With all the discussion about me being traded or cut has helped me realize that the contract I have ran out of guarantees the day I was injured. Therefore each year they pay you to play is a gift. I expect that if there are no changes to my present contract, then I should prepare for a year-by-year commitment. When I am ready to hit the field this year, wherever it may be, I plan on being better than ever and enjoying the ride.

best career everybody forward good greater halftime knows looking minnesota played seven team wins
I kind of feel like, it's halftime in my career right now. Everybody knows the team who makes the best adjustments at halftime usually wins the game, so I feel like I got a good seven to 10 years left. I played seven years in Minnesota and I am looking forward to even better, greater seven years down in Miami, back home. It's great.
