Minnesota Vikings will give
Jefferson, A.J. ARI CB $705,000 3 years
Year 2012 Draft Pick 1.25Year 2013 Round 1 Draft Pick from San Fransisco 49ers
To New England Patriots for
Clayton, Mark FA WR FA 5,300,000 (2014)
Ware, Demarcus DAL LB $6,700,000 4 years

This is absolutely terrible. Ware was the #23 LB last year. He is one of the best in the league but in fantasy football he is just above average. Mark clayton is a huge cap casualty. Vikings are giving 2 first rounders and taking a 5 mil cap penalty to get Demarcus Ware who is hardly worth his salary at 6.7M. It's insane. Jefferson is battling for a starting spot and is a below average talent that was benched last year. Not to mention he is a DB. This is another case of a seasoned veteran taking advantage of a new guy.

I agree, completely stupid move which I am not even sure he has the cap space for with a 17 mil bid out there for AP.

This trade is obviously lopsided as D-Ware is just a big name but he is by no means a great fantasy player. Mark Clayton has been an afterthought for some time and the Vikings are in no position to give up two first round picks for players that don't help him win. I really hope TAB considers Viking's position when they review this trade or this franchise will have a very hard time rebuilding.

Ya TAB really needs to consider whats happening to the Vikings. They are already one of the worst franchises in the league and this will only set them back way farther. If this trade goes through and the owner of the Vikes ever leaves we will never find a replacement.
