As Zimmer said, Weve got a lot of holes to fill. Hes wary, though, of overspending or chasing a player that is not a good fit. We want to be smart with how we use the money, Zimmer said Thursday. We dont want to go crazy in this thing. Its important to me and Rick [Spielman] and the Wilfs also, that we build a really good foundation and continue to solidly build this thing until were a consistently good organization and team. I think if we go out and spend a whole bunch of money now, wed be upset two years from now because some of them didnt work out. So were going to be real diligent in how we approach this and making sure that not only is it best for next year, but best for the long run, too. The NFL is a quick-turnaround league. The temptation certainly is there to plug holes with available free agents. Thats especially true when you consider the Vikings could have more than $41 million in projected cap space entering free agency. Everybody sees that Maserati and they want to go buy it and you know you probably shouldnt, you should probably buy a Ford F-150 like I got. Because if you get the F150, you can keep building the pieces you need, Zimmer said.
