Sources: Rotoworld per WCCO Minnesota

WCCO Minnesota reports that free agent Brett Favre will be at Vikings training camp in Mankato at the end of July, "barring some unforeseen major physical setback."

Confirming Sunday's speculation, a source tells the news station that the Vikings and Favre already have a contract agreement. The deal is reportedly "heavy" on incentives and the Vikes have formally ordered No. 4 jerseys with Favre's name on the back. That's John David Booty's number. Not anymore.

Date: July 31

WCCO Minnesota reports that new Vikings QB Brett Favre, who just last week signed a one year, $6 Million contract threw his shoulder out in practice this morning.

Fans watching outside the fences reported seeing Favre wincing in pain after every throw, shouting "Awwww. Muh arm hurts!". John Madden then called Vikings coach Brad Childress on the spot and asked if he needed to rush to the training camp site in order to support his boy, which Childress responded "You don't fly, you take a bus. By the time you get here training camp is going to be over".

We play the Vikings week 15. At that point, Favre's arm will resemble something between tapioca pudding and strawberry jello. Call me crazy, but I'm going to go ahead and write in a W there.

In the words of Toby Keith;

"I aint as good as I once was, but I'm AS GOOD ONCE as I ever was"

As much as folks hate Farve, I watched his old ass torch our team in GB in 07

i WILL be happy to get out of that one with a win......

Farve will have a lot of things that he hasent in a LONG time;

RB-WR- & DEFENSE-

Thomas Jones and Leon Washington were a pretty good combination, and while the Jets' wide receivers were mediocre so are the Vikings' wide outs... As far as defense, yeah the Vikings have a better one for sure.

Is that really saying a lot? He was playing against Vinny Testaverde. David Garrard and Joey Harrington lit us up too when Vinny was in the lineup.

If you define a long time as 2007, sure. Ryan Grant nearly ran for 1000 yards in about a half of a season of starting, and averaged 5.1 yards per carry. Greg Jennings has averaged about 1100 yards and scored 21 TDs in the last two years (despite missing 3 games). Donald Driver has been over 1000 yards for the last five years. Green Bay's defense in 2007 was 6th in the NFL in points allowed per game (11th in yards per game).

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      If we don't go OT, we will regret it.  What bothers me?  Are we going to get a starting-caliber OT at 19?  I think the draft is solid at OT, and the more I read up and watch video, the more I watch Lomu, the more I want him.   I see Freeling as a RT who needs some work in run blocking (since we need to run first, maybe not a good fit) and I see Proctor ending up as a Guard.  After Lomu (assuming Mouigia and fanu are gone), I think we wait until round 2.  In round 2, there are about 3-4 I like (Zuhn--good pass blocker and VERY underrated right now; Tiernan is a very good pass blocker as is Miller from Clemson, but both are not good in the run game.  Max Ixxxxx from Ariz St is impressive too---technically, there is not a of difference in these second tier guys--good in pass pro, need work in the run game.   If we wait until round 2 for an OT, we probably need to sign Nijman and start him early.   I almost think this is what we should do if Lomu is gone.  There is a big dropoff after him, imo, and I think we'd get better value if a stud ILB or edge is there.  Someone like TJ Parker Clemson makes sense. If Lomu is gone, trading back might be the play.
