Minnesota Viking General Manager Mike Lynn visited Herschel Walker’s home in Irving, Tex., to try to persuade the Dallas Cowboy running back to join the Vikings.
“I told him all the reasons why he should go to Minnesota, but we still don’t have a deal,” Lynn said. “I’m not disappointed, and the clock is ticking and it will continue to tick until Tuesday at 4 p.m. (the NFL trading deadline). There is no urgency in the situation.”
The winless Cowboys will play the San Francisco 49ers Sunday. Asked about his chances of still being with Dallas, Walker said: “Good, I reckon. Nothing’s happened.”
Lynn talked about a trade with Cowboy officials and Walker’s agents Tuesday, but Walker showed up for practice Wednesday morning. He was excused from the afternoon session and met with Lynn.
