Vikings released K Ryan Longwell.
They'll move forward with sixth-round rookie Blair Walsh. Longwell, who turns 38 before the season, shanked 6-of-28 field-goal attempts last year in addition to one PAT. Opponents also had a lot of success returning kicks against the Vikings. It's still a questionable decision because Walsh went 21-for-35 on field goals as a college senior, connecting on just 54.8 percent of his attempts from beyond 30 yards. We suspect Longwell will find a new home quickly. The Vikings' kicking duties are on even shakier footing with the rookie Walsh.
May 7 - 5:58 PM
Vikings K Ryan Longwell is in danger of losing his roster spot after the team used a sixth-round pick on K Blair Walsh.
Longwell carries a $1.75M salary after converting just 78.6 percent of his field-goal attempts in 2011. He turns 38 this fall. It should be noted that Walsh only connected on 21-of-35 field goals as a senior at Georgia, and went 17-for-31 from beyond 30 yards (54.8 percent). He should be guaranteed nothing.

The Vikings aren't worried about Ryan Longwell after the 37-year-old kicker converted just 78.6 percent of his field goals in 2011.
"The ones you're concerned about are the ones that go a little bit left," explained special teams coordinator Mike Priefer. The Vikes attribute Longwell's down season to problems with the rest of the field-goal operation. With three years remaining on his contract, Longwell's job is safe.

ESPN 1500 Twin Cities
Vikings agreed to terms with K Ryan Longwell on a four-year, $12 million contract.
The deal includes $3.5 million in guarantees. Longwell isn't much of an asset on long distance field goals and kickoffs, but it's tough to beat his 93.5 percent mark on three-pointers the past two seasons. Turning 37 next month, Longwell should bounce back with a better fantasy season in 2011.

Adrian Peterson (ACL, MCL, meniscus surgery) believes he's "50-50" to be participate in training camp.
"I feel like I will be able to get out there and you call a run play or whatever, I'll be able to go through practice. That's how I feel. That's my mindset," said Peterson. "But I'm going to follow the protocol. Whatever the Vikings and their staff want me to do, then I'm gonna do that; but I'm not going to hinder myself. I'm going to let those guys know how I feel."

Percy Harvin's minor shoulder surgery has been rescheduled for next Tuesday, April 24.
The procedure will end up being delayed two weeks due to a family emergency, but Harvin is still expected to be ready for OTAs that begin May 29. The estimated recovery period after Harvin gets bone spurs cleaned out is three weeks.

Jerome Simpson
Suspended
According to the National Football Post, one NFL team thinks Vikings WR Jerome Simpson would be making $5 million a year if not for his fall arrest.
He ended up accepting a one-year, $2 million prove-it deal. $5 million is optimistic for Simpson, but he's reportedly not perceived as a "bad kid" despite being arrested for having 2.5 pounds of marijuana mailed to his house in September. Some teams do think highly of Simpson's ability, so a strong 2012 season could earn him a big pay raise next offseason.
