According to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, veteran cornerback and expert tackler Antoine Winfield is now deciding between the Seattle Seahawks and the Minnesota Vikings.
Reports that surfaced earlier today suggested that he may be closer to signing with Seahawks than resigning with the Vikings. Those reports may have been premature as now it looks like Winfield is somewhere in the middle of the two.
Winfield was abruptly released early March – a move that caught the experienced cornerback, his teammates, Vikings personnel and fans all off guard.
The Seahawks (also known as the Vikings of the West) look to reunite Winfield with ex-Vikings Sidney Rice and Percy Harvin.
Antoine Winfield is expected to make a decision soon.
Edit: Found a pretty interesting story about the last time Winfield was a free agent and stuck between two teams from John Holler over at vikingsupdate.com. Never heard this story before – fun read. (Here’s to hoping for a similar outcome!)

Between stealing Viking favorites (Rice, Winfield, Burleson, Farwell, Harvin, Longwell), having a quarterback from Wisconsin, AND taking our ex coaches how can't you hate the Seahawks.
