Birk Sign with Ravens

Longtime Minnesota Vikings center, Matt Birk signed a three-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens. The deal is worth $12 mil with half guaranteed.

Birk is a six-time Pro Bowler and a St. Paul native. It was thought that Birk, 32, would go on the circuit but end up back with the Vikes. I guess not.

I’m not as crushed as some people are. Birk’s game has slipped some and seems a little arrogant. Maybe I didn't liked him since he never had the back of Randy Moss.

The real question is who will be the center for the Vikes in 2009. John Sullivan is now looking like the guy. That is a little scary.

So apparently Minnesota is planning on doing nothing in Free Agency. We better have a SOLID 2009 Draft because we are headlining into next year with Sage Rosenfels instead of Gus Frerotte, minus Birk and soon to be minus Darren Sharper with ZERO additions to the team.

I sure hope Chilly has something sneaky up his sleeve, but I doubt it.
