Gotta exclude Moss from the discussion though, thats too easy. Maybe Favre too. 

Heard this on local sports radio the other day...Great discussion on the airwaves. 

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Kevin McDermott to 98... :/

Dirty Harry to 98

Reiff to 09, Thielen or Diggs to 09 to pair with Rice

Maybe Korey Strinfer just because. 

Cris Carter, Winfield, or Randle would
help this team.

Not to take anything away from what Tom Johnson has done this season...  because he has REALLY stepped up and shown that he isn't just a pass rushing specialist...  but Randle would take the #2 defense in the NFL to an ELITE level.  Like maybe the best defense of all-time.
I also wouldn't argue with adding an offensive linemen like Randall McDaniel or Steve Hutchinson at LG...

McDaniel or Hutchinson (giving an elite left blind side)

KWilliams or Randle (with the Big Goon, would be a devastating line up)

Wildcard
Dalvin Cook (ROY and 11-1 right now if he stayed healthy)

Don't forget Kevin Williams as the rotation for John Randle.  Too bad Doleman didn't come back until 99.

Peterson. Remember that one year when we had a real QB and Peterson at the same time?  That was an OK year.

Randle would be my first thought.

But what about Linval to 98?  Having him next to Randle?

I wouldn’t add anyone to this team right now. Sure it’s not perfect but it’s chemistry seems to be.  They are playing as a team and I wouldn’t want to fuck that up. 

98 team could use some help on D from this squad... almost anyone would help.  except that guy....    

09 I’d switch out Bert for Keenum.  Bert went 1-3 in Decemeber and cost us home field advantage... now my supertitsous side doesn’t like that I posted this with Case only having one win currently in December....  But I can’t let Jimmy take all the blame if things go bad...  =)

It's been said, but John Randle was my first gut reaction. Lots of good options mentioned (I like Winfield a lot).

You Wouldn't add 2 HOF players to the guard spots?

I agree Randle on this team.  How about Cook or Murray on the 09 team?  May have provided 4 with another receiving option and wouldn't have put the ball on the carpet in the NFCCG.
