Headrick out as Vikings bidder

There were some surprises among the offers to buy the Minnesota Vikings: Roger Headrick is out, and at least one mystery bidder is in. Headrick, one of 10 current owners, proceeded with plans to submit an offer for the second time this year until shortly before Wednesday's deadline, according to his assistant. But he apparently decided his contentious relationship with the other owners, who repeatedly have criticized him publicly, was too big an obstacle to overcome. Two of the bidders came as no surprise as Glen Taylor and Red McCombs submitted offers. Las Vegan Shruti Misra, who has said she was interested in buying the team, did not submit a formal bid by Wednesday's deadline.
