The Facts: While most eyes will be on what Minnesota do at the QB position, the team has other unfilled holes that need to be addressed in free agency. Kicker is one of them. Longwell is currently out of contract and waiting for the lockout to end like everyone else. "We have learned patience being free agents,” Longwell said. “We don't know where we are going to play; we don't know where we are going to be.”

Diehards Line:But Longwell made his desire to remain a Viking clear. "Our full intention to go back to Minnesota and put together another good stretch of years up there," he said. .... As PFT's Brad Biggs notes, the Vikings have experimented with a kickoff specialist while Longwell has been on the roster, but he’s been solid for them scoring. He’s made 43 of 46 field goals over the last two seasons.
