While its no secret backroom discussions happen in the NFL, this on its face seems somewhat unlikely. If we are to take Zygi as the upfront owner he has been building a team on integrity and sticking to his decisions, it seems unlikely that he would go against his commitment to Frasier this year.

If anything, I would view this as tabloid-mongering from the NY Post and Bleacher Report as related to this year. It would not be out of the realm of reality, however, for these discussions to perhaps occurred in reference to future opportunities if the Vikings are concerned about Frasier's ability to deliver.

I know fans desperate for wins are willing to hold on to any shred of what brings hope, but I think we need to let this one pass. Parcells is a legend, yes, but it is no guarantee of his success here either with a depleted roster at critical positions.

Let's put this in the offseason, need-to-make-headlines rumor mill bucket for now.
