The Star Tribune's Judd Zulgad (what a name) has a pretty good post on the Matt Cassel/Vikings quarterback situation.
Of course, nobody has a clue what the Vikings are going to do here. Trade the farm for Cassel – doubtful, but not out of the question.
Sign a veteran stopgap like Jeff Garcia or Chris Simms to challenge Tarvaris Jackson for the starting job – likely.
Keep Jackson as starter because the other options are as appealing as stepping in soft dog shit and draft a successor like Ball State's Nate Davis in the second or third round – possible.
Or, change their mind, promise Gus Frerotte the starting job and bring him back with T-Jack backing him up?
Okay, that's too far-fetched.
Whatever the answer might be, Brad Childress isn't saying. And that's okay because I enjoy all the talk and speculation.
And at the end of the post you will notice Zulgad thinks the Vikings might have had interest in Eagles right tackle Jon Runyan if he hadn't just undergone microfracture surgery on a knee.
Tell me, what ex-Eagle do you think Chilly will bring in this year?

I stopped trying to follow football when I broke up with my husband - what with not being able to afford TV. So I don't have a clue what all you're talking about, but I love it when you say "Tarvaris Jackson." In a way the best part of football is how poetic the guys' names are.

Bummer about not having a TV.
I like it when I write, "Tarvaris Jackson is no longer the starting quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings."
I'd like to able to write that in about a month.
