LaDainian Tomlinson to Join Minnesota Vikings? After being released by the San Diego Chargers following a stellar nine-year career in “America’s Finest City”, LaDainian Tomlinson finds himself jobless this offseason. According to confirmed reports, L.T. will visit with the two-time NFC North champion Minnesota Vikings today about a potential backup role to the spectacular Adrian Peterson out of the backfield.  Not only is the 2006 league MVP excited about the possibility to play with A.P. and potentially even Brett Favre, but so is the Vikings’ organization. "The opportunity to play with Brett would be unbelievable, incredible," Tomlinson said. "So many years I've watched Brett and also played against him and admire him so much. Imagining him just throwing the ball to me out of the backfield or something like that, it would be something I can always remember and also tell my kids about."
With a potential role as a third-down back, Tomlinson has no problem with that function and in fact believes he could be a great fir for this team. "I don't [have a problem with it]. I know I can catch the ball really well out of the backfield, can run routes and that's something that I've always looked for as I got older in my career. Being able to fall back on that. Not having to carry the ball as much," he added. "I think that's what was lost in San Diego because I was the only guy that could really carry the ball 20 times. So my third-down role was reduced. So now I'm looking for that. It's something I can do and I can fit in well," he told the newspaper. How far do you think the Minnesota Vikings will get this season? What are the Vikings chances of winning the 2011 Super Bowl? Is Brett Favre coming back to honor the final year of his contract despite turning 41 years old during the season?
