coming communication concerns demanding explore false further lack money options phone present reports shared spoke spoken talks teams trading
Mr. Wilf and I spoke by phone on (Tuesday) and we each shared our concerns about my present situation. He told me that the Vikings have not yet spoken to other teams about trading me. I shared my disappointment with the lack of communication and the false reports about me demanding more money coming out of Minnesota. I have requested further talks so that we can explore options for the future.
