Longwell on the move:The Vikings made the first major strike in the free-agent kicker market by reaching a five-year, $10 million deal with Packers kicker Ryan Longwell. Included in the deal is a $3 million signing bonus.
The Packers were trying to re-sign him but have now lost their kicker to an NFC North rival.
The Bucs pursued Longwell on Saturday but the Vikings stepped up and took the offer to $2 million a year and gave him a $3 million signing bonus and the deal was done.

what does everyone think about this one? personally i dont like adding packer's, but after seeing what sharper did for us last year, i guess i can give one more a chance
