The receiver served his three-game suspension for a drug charge, and now he is eager to fully rejoin his teammates.

Simpson will be a great WR for the Vikings, but nobody should expect him to be much a deep threat or go over 100 yards in a game-with Ponder's style of play. It's not Ponder's game to zip it down field. He never has. But Simpson will help our passing game no doubt!

After listening to and reading quotes from Simpson, it's hard to believe he's a convicted drug dealer. Hopefully it's not an act and he follows Jared Allen's lead and makes the most of his second chance.

Perfect timing, let's go and beat up on the Lions on Sunday!!!!

Hope Ponder finds him alone on many deep routes this Sunday! SKOL!!

nowilfare3: I was with you until you added the "/is". How do you know he's still currently involved with drugs?

I just hope that he can keep up his "good" football skills and personal ethics.

Maybe after the roster exemption expires, the Vikings can cut John Carlson. He doesn't seem to be contributing anything.

Who's John Carlson?

John Carlson is a waste of money, BIG WASTE. I like Reisner and Ellison much much better. Carlson is an overpaid player who had one good season and has been hurt the rest of his career or hasnt done anything on the field worth noting. VERY average player.

I would hope to heck Zigi gives Percy Harvin an incentive contract this year yet not just a neck tie... He Deserves a brand new contract that wraps this kid up forever.... What effort What heart This kid has done everything except make popcorn and sell tickets.... He has earned a new contract THIS YEAR !!! Please get it done..... Great Game Percy !! I love the effort !
