[CBFF] FW: Berrian wearing a Vikings hat at team facility, still unsigned

[Jerry Madsen]

I was bummed to hear that he spent the night in Minnesota and
negotiations persisted into today.

Now that we hear he's wearing a hat, I can only assume the worse in
spite of what hope Biggs might have interjected into his blurb.

Still, Angelo is taking the right approach.  If the Vikes pay more
than the Bears offered, then they overpaid for a guy who really isn't
a #1 wideout.  That's the only silver lining at this point; at least
as much as I can see.

He must not have been expecting anyone to be in there as Berrian was holding a Vikings jersey and wearing a team hat, accompanied by a member of the club's personnel department.
