Resigning Chavous and Burleson are musts.

Who else does the team absolutely need to hold onto, and which guys are expendable?

Well, the Vikings are off to a big start in free agency. The resigned WR Koren Robinson and S Willie Offord while also reaching deals with RB Chester Taylor, K Ryan Longwell, and LB Ben Leber. Taylor's a real up-and-comer; he'll really help the Vikings.

More movement this week involving the Vikes. The lost LB Sam Cowart to the Houston Texans, but picked up quarterback Mike McMahon and safety Tank Williams. Williams will replace Corey Chavous, while McMahon will be Brad Johnson's backup. You Minnesota fans like these moves?
