Without admitting to the ridiculous allegations, I do apologize for any embarrassment that this situation has caused the community, the organization and especially my family.

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.
bit bowl champions close definitely far friend goal last mine moves randy sit spent super time worry year
As far as Randy not being here, personally, he's a close friend of mine and we spent a lot of time together, so it's definitely a little bit different in that sense. But time moves on. We have a goal to be NFC champions and Super Bowl champions. We don't have time to sit and worry about who was here last year and who's not here this year.
air ball efficient exciting far fun move throughout
As far as being efficient and able to move the ball in the air like we always have, I think we will be. We've been doing it in the preseason and in the minicamps. I know we can move the ball. It's going to be fun and exciting to do that throughout the season.

It wasn't that I wanted to get out. It's just, I think, for both sides, it was good for me to move on. Good for the Vikings, too. That's the way it happened, and I'm happy right now. I'm happy with the opportunity I have here.
check field mean move open shots
You still have to be opportunistic. What I mean by that is when the shots are there, we're going to take them. But when they aren't, I'm going to check it down and find open receivers and move it down the field that way.

This was a huge win, a huge win, ... This win means nothing though if we go down to Carolina and don't get a victory there.
few offense people
We've got to get all 11 people on offense doing the right thing at the right time, ... If we've got 10 people doing it, it doesn't work. And we had that a few times.
We just weren't on the same page. Things like that, it's not us; it's not Viking football.

Without the turnover it would have been perfect. One thing I'm really excited about that we did, is we came back the next drive and put seven on the board. We're really happy about that for the first offense.

Now that I have confirmed that the Vikings have been seeking to trade me, I have asked for permission to speak to the interested teams. The Vikings have denied my request. If a trade does not happen, then I am asking the Vikings to terminate my contract as soon as possible.
giving-up dont-give-up successful
You get frustrated when you don't win and when you're not successful. You have to keep battling. You don't give up. You don't start second guessing yourself.
