Adam Schefter on Derek Anderson

there's only one NFL reporter who gets almost everything right, and thats Adam Schefter of the NFL Network. He said that Cowher wouldn't coach the Bronco's and that it would be McDaniels, and now he's saying that there is no chance that Shanahan will coach the Chiefs, despite ESPN running an article saying that deal is almost done.

More importantly though, Shefter has weighed in on the Minnesota Vikings QB search, and it includes Derek Anderson. Yes!

Question: What do you think the Vikings will do about their QB situation? Any free agents (Garcia)? Adam_schefter_headshot_sm

Schefter: The good thing for the Vikings is, it's an intriguing off-season for quaterbacks. Matt Cassel, Derek Anderson and Donovan McNabb could be available in trade. Kerry Collins, Kurt Warner, Jeff Garcia, Rex Grossman are scheduled to be unrestricted free agents. And Michael Vick also could be in play.

But if you're the Vikings, and you want to solidify the position, you have two primary options to me: trading for Anderson or signing Garcia. Garcia would be a short-term solution, Anderson a longer-term but pricier one. To get Anderson is going to cost at least a second-round pick, and maybe a first, and that's a steep price. Then again, Minnesota traded its 1 last year and that worked out pretty well, didn't it?

I would love to see DA go to Minnesota for a draft pick, and a second would be great. But I would be happy for even a third.
I think DA would fit well in Minnesota with their running game and defense. All he needs to do is hand off or throw the ball long.
