Berrian gets 6-year deal with the Vikes

[SoCal Pmen]

Just reported Berrian got a 6yr deal with the Vikes. No financial details yet. It will be interesting to see the numbers and whether this will be a baseline for the Moss negotiations.

FWIW, Berrian was supposedly looking for "Deion Branch" money...

Man I'd love to of had Berrian incase Moss left. I figured he'd be a Viking though.

Receiver Bernard Berrian has officially joined the Vikings. And he will be extremely well compensated for it.

According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, it's a six-year, $42 million contract, with $16 million guaranteed.

For Bernard Berrian.

Let's be clear on this. Berrian's best season came in 2007, with 71 receptions for 951 yards and five touchdowns.

And he gets $16 million guaranteed?

Randy Moss, in contrast, had 98 catches for 1,453 yards and 23 touchdowns. So if Berrian is worth $16 million in guaranteed money, how much should Moss get? Should he get $20 million? Maybe $25 million?

Dare we say . . . $30 million?

And though we realize that Berrian has been stuck in a vertically-challenged offense, would Berrian have had the impact on the Pats that Moss did?

Hey, it's a good deal for Berrian. But it really throws a wrench in the plans of the Pats, or anyone else who has designs on landing Moss.

This is why I've been saying that if Moss signs for anything less than $20 million guaranteed from the Pats, it's a steal and major hometown discount. His market value is probably $25 million guaranteed. That's why the deal should be 4 years, around 36 million. These reports that the Pats have offered 3 years, 13 million guaranteed are a joke. If that is the real offer, I can see why Moss would be pissed, and he would be justified looking elsewhere.

That deal won't help any of the teams trying to sign WR's. Thanks a lot, Minnesota. Then again, it might have been better than if he had visited Oakland and signed with them.

I agree 1000% with that premise but where have you heard/seen those reports with that money? I've been looking everywhere and haven't seen a thing.
