Yeah, I think that's very possible. It's in the Vikings' best interest to say all the right things about Sam. If the Vikings want to tag and trade him for anything worthwhile, they have to convince teams who may want to trade for him that there is a real chance we'll just keep him...unless you give us an offer we can't refuse. IOW, the Vikings are manufacturing leverage. At least that's what it sounds like to me.

I tend to agree with this.

I agree, I said this as well but, in more detail, earlier in this thread
