We can all scratch Chad Greenway off the list of players the Vikings will need to replace in 2011. The Vikings have franchised him.
Sidney Rice could be the next guy the Vikings play tag with. They can put a transition tag on one potential free agent and it's expected to be Rice.
It also looks like Ray Edwards will be allowed to hit the free agent market, where he will likely sign with someone else.
I hope the Vikings have a good "plan B" in place if they lose Edwards.

Yay for Greenway! Meh about Ray-Ray. I'm not sure what to think. The pass rush wasn't furious this year even though he was good, and it was awesome the year before even though he didn't do as much. I think the talent's there so long as the Vikes offense puts the opposition in catch-up mode. Improve offense, improve pass rush.
Go get Sidney.

I'm not sure what the Vikings plans are for Rice. They can't place a transition tag on him, so they have to resign him, to a long-term deal, and I'm not sure how likely that is to happen.
I like Edwards. I thought he did plenty in 2009. If the Vikings can replace him with someone better, I'm all for it. That person isn't on the current roster though.
Agree with you on Edward's replacement. Griffen's got potential, but I don't see him or Robison performing to Edward's level in 2011.
