Pennington going to Vikings?
Chad Pennington has played his last game with the Jets, GM Mike Tannenbaun said Thursday in an early morning conference call. Barring a last minute snag, Pennington will be traded or released today. The holdup is paperwork. Ironically, one possible destination is Minnesota, the team Brett Favre desperately wanted to play for. With Favre scheduled to earn $12 million this season -- if the Jets don't rework his contract, the organization will save nearly $6 million on the cap by getting rid of Pennington.

Pennington can now become the Bears new QB. He is an upgrade over both of the stiffs currently fighting for the job.

I hope Pennington lands on his feet. Has a great season, wins a lot of games. MR Farve I hope you land on your BUTT. I am so sick and tired of FARVE.If and when he gets that BIG shot lets see how he handles it. Good luck Chad. jerry

Pennington should have his agent call: Bears, Vikes, Chiefs, and the Fins. Someone will be interested.
Anyone else enjoying the irony that the Packer's mess has a good chance to come back to their division in the form of the QB that Brett got released?

The fins will not be calling the Jets, they could look at him if he is released.
Bears, Vikes, and Chiefs NEED him. He should go to the Vikes

He'd be a good fit with the Vikings.

At least half his games would be in a dome where his puny arm won't be as affected as the winds of Giants Stadium.

Bears and Vikes both need a quarterback, sure, but what about Tampa Bay? Gruden LOVES quarterbacks. What drama.

Hopefully a few years with Favre will give the Jets time to draft a replacement. Clemens is not the guy and Pennington has no arm strength left in him.

The main reason the Vikings offense struggled last year was no deep threat due to troy Williamson sucking hard ****. Now they get Berrian and then you would want Pennington throwing deep? Might as well put eight nine in the box right now on Peterson. I'd much rather have TJack right now. Bears should definately be where he goes especially with all the r screens they run and could utilize with Hester.

If I were the Vikings, I wouldn't trade for him. Give Tavarius Jackson a chance to play and grow this year before you start blowing up the offense 3 weeks before the regular season.

A life long viking fan here and please dont give tarvarius jackson another year to mess the season up. If we had any decent QB last season instead of 8-8 the vikes would have been at least 11-5 People dont understand the team that is put together in minn. and we need a QB TJ cant get it done frerotten sucks and J.David Booty who knows? Pennington? Maybe , it would have been nice to get Favre for 1 season. Oh well. But Tavarius Jackson is not the answer anyone who just jumps straight up in the air when he throws, aint got what it takes.
