Birk to make visit
March 3rd, 2009 – 9:21 AM by Judd ZulgadCenter Matt Birk will make his first free-agent visit today and indications are it will be to meet with the Baltimore Ravens. That would make sense given that the Ravens lost center Jason Brown to the St. Louis Rams early in the free agency period. Birk has been with the Vikings since the 1998 season and coach Brad Childress has expressed a desire to keep the six-time Pro Bowl center in Minnesota.
Meanwhile, free-agent linebacker Heath Farwell also is making a free-agent visit today. He will be meeting with the New England Patriots.
The Vikings have kept one of their own free agents already, signing tight endВ Jim Kleinsasser to a three-year, $9 million contract last weekend.
UPDATE: The Vikings have released backup linebacker/special teams player Vinny Ciurciu. Ciurciu played in 15 games last season primarily on special teams.

[…] At Center May Be Solved Jump to Comments While recently departed hater Jason Brown is setting up shop with his 2-14 Rams, the Ravens arehosting Vikings free-agent Matt Birk on his first visit during free agency. […]
simply idiotic! Why let him leave!? There is no one better that’s available!
“why let him leave”
part of this “Free Agent” thingy is the word “Free”
Well….
1) might be asking too much money
2) might be slowing down a bit
3) his replacement might be ready to step in.
Who knows?
No question Birk has lost a step or two.
I love the guy but possibly management feels Sullivan is ready to step in.
It would be nice to get Birk back just for his onfield leadership skills but you can’t blame the guy for trying to get paid for his last 2-3 years in the league.
The link at 10:25 says the Ravens think their problems at center may be solved because Birk is a 32-year-old six-time pro-bowler whose agent also just so happens to represent a quarterback by the name of Joe Flacco.

I like it when we pick up a player in FA
I dislike it when we lose a player in FA
I am a fan - just like the rest of you.
Let’s trust that mngt and the coaches know what they are doing. They are the experts. Birk will be back - if he is the best center on the team. If Sullivan is ready, he will not.
It looks like Farwell is going to get away so the best thing to do is cut Ciurciu, the remaining special teams ace????!
I think Birk just likes purple uniforms. Vinny was the reason our special teams were so awful last yearneil. I mean if you use Chillilogic.
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Ziggy, Why don’t you send you private jet to bring Birk back. If he signs elsewhere we are stupid. It is more important to sign him than it was to go after TJ Whoumgotdamostmuney.

With Farwell likely gone and Ciurciu released, that must mean they are close to signing another LB to play special teams, right Judd?
Birk has lost a step or two, unfortunately. He WAS a Pro Bowl caliber center, but last year he slipped a bit, notably a few on-field miscues that we’re just not used to seeing (such as snapping a shotgun snap right to T-Jax’s feet!?!). Off the field, he’s a great guy. Who knows, this Sullivan kid may turn out to be Birk 2.0, on the field, and perhaps he deserves a shot. Or else we think Alex Mack will be there for us in the first round…
And we always have Ryan Cook, who’d better be suited to move inside than stay on the edge. Just not OT tackle material…
Ryan Cook isn’t suited to do anything more than sit his ass on the bench
how about the kid out of notre dame…. Birk the CAKE EATER CAN GO
