…nor should he. The guy is an average (at best) football player living off the reputation of his brother, a reputation from 4 years ago at that!

Go away Erin… you’re not newsworthy nor are you PFT worthy. Even if they erroneously placed you on their top 100 free agents list.

I’d rather have Ben Leber back over you.

OK yeah, because your 60k job requires you to throw your body at people and risk torn muscles & tendons. and concussions. shut up. this guy isn’t pulling a John Abraham, asking for 10mil a year. just because you’ve gone through troubles doesn’t mean he should get a crappy deal

Hey dade…..the MARKET will determine his value……right now, the MARKET is telling him he isn’t worth that much. Why? Ask the other teams, and watch his play…..he was out played early in the year, and played better down the stretch…..in the NFL, Erin is serviceable, but he is hardly a bonafide star LB…….not sure he would start for many teams out there. He just hasn’t proven enough yet to make the bigger dollars in the NFL. If he thinks he’s worth $3+ million a year, he is delusional!!

Erin……Vikes fan here. I’ve watched you play.
You’ve started for a total of 1 year, and last year, you, and the ENTIRE LB corps was outplayed and outmuscled most of the games I watched.

Getting in the Twitter debate with fans shows your immaturity. Grow up, learn to be a lockdown linebacker, and the MARKET will pay you what you are worth. Right now, due to your inconsistency and lack of experience, the market is TELLING you to improve.

Pretty simple….

LMAO! I love your bombastic diatribe. You pitiful vikequeef naives are just to easy to goad into an angry rant. But hey, you’re used to being played, the team you support has been playing you dummies for 51 seasons.

Oops nevermind. It’s really not that creative ya know? Especially how every Viking fan that reads your post sees it every.single.post. Get some new things to say…or…even better… just don’t post anything.

This is just more of the same dim witted decision making that’s been SOP for the loser purple toads. They gave TE Carlson silly money for a player that’s a regular on the IR list so what do they expect from the rest of their FAs? They probably broke the bank paying off the jury to get Cook off.

Wow. You didn’t say “vikequeefs” in this post. You normally never miss a opportunity of saying “vikequeefs”.

On the surface, this seems like the Vikings are playing this correctly. He wants something like 4-5 mil probably and teams aren’t willing to pay that.

At least I’m able to compose and post my own comments. You, on the other hand, get on your knees in front of your boyfriend and beg him (wink wink) to post yours.

Keep your inbred asses at home don’t think your coming to el barrio and take over our stadium.

Mira buey, todo el mundo sabe que son hijo de la chingada y hotos todo los fanaticos de los vikings.

Erin should be appreciative of the salary he has received from the Purple; he would not be on the roster if not for the fact that his brother is on the team.

This Vikings organization is a mess. From the Wilfs to the crappy front office, they really don’t have as clue.

Practically no activity in free agency; it’s almost guaranteed they will screw up the draft also. Rick Spielman is a moron.

Unlike you, I live in the Twin Cities so I can comment on this train wreck first hand.

The Vikings will not be relevant for many seasons to come…

Wasn’t the slightest bit of anger in anything I said. Just a few facts mixed with a little humor because you always seem so tense. Those who frequent the site and have read your posts know what I mean.

6) reasons your an idiot! To go along with your 6) points of foolishness. To say Nobody respects the Vikings D, you already lost everyone’s attention & credibility. Although, they had a dismal season, and are in complete rebuild mode. Look statistically over the past 10 years, and the Vikings have been a top 5 team in D. Most notibely, rush yds allowed and Sacks.
It is painful being a Viking fan, as I’m sure being a fan of any of the 22 teams in the league that are not perennial studs! But, it is football and we gotta love it!
But fans , that come on this site to make jackass comments and put down other fans & teams, is just plain silly!
I’m sure it’s tough to be original, well with all the commotion & thin walls in your trailer

====================================
What we do know is no one else has made an offer good enough for him to except so nobody thinks he is worth what he is thinking.

15-1 regular season.
0-1 playoff disaster. Beautiful. Set a record too.

1) This stupid viking already has one steroid violation against him. That decreases his value.

2) He was barely a starter on a loser 3-13 team. They had no one else to play and he only started 11 games last year his only starts in 4 years. That decreases his value.

3) Nobody respects the viking defense or any player on it. Having his whole NFL time on the vikings decreases his value due to lack of good coaching. Who has ever seen this guy on national television?

4) No one who has not started a dozen games in the NFL should be out there whining, especially about finding a new career.

5) He is the only male I know of named “Erin”. He has no nickname or brand appeal. If he had earned a name like Hammer, Hacksaw, Gravedigger, he would have more value.

6) If his arrest record is not too bad he should go play in Canada for awhile and get noticed.

Vikingsfan1994,
Does mommy know you’re on the computer arguing with grown ups? Its almost night night time for you, junior.

Hmmm….gb4mno came out of mommy’s basement long enough to get some more mac & cheese and check out the internet between cartoons.

In breaking down his post, it appears he agrees with Erin H. and the Vikes need to sign him. Smart money then says the Vikes should not sign him.

Yes, Carlson did miss last year on IR, but the first 3 years he missed one game…sounds like a regular IR guy to me.

Let’s compare that with that TE with the bad hands…Finley I think it is….

4 years in the league for both guys:
Games played:
Finley – 48
Carlson – 47

Receptions:
137 for both guys

Yards:
Finley – 1818
Carlson – 1519

TD’s:
Finley – 15
Carlson – 13

Don’t believe me…check the stats yourself.

Finally, he seems to think jury payoffs are part of the salary cap. No, they’re usually paid off with worthless stock certificates.
