Vikings | Christian Ponder sensing the end?

Minnesota Vikings QB Christian Ponder has reportedly put his Tonka Bay, Minn., home up for sale.

Footballguys View: It doesn’t take a Doctor with a TARDIS or a kid with a time-traveling DeLorean to see this, so perhaps “seer” is another skill we can cross off Ponder’s list along with “throws good vertical passes” and “poise in the pocket.” The truth is that, unless Josh Freeman really surprises over the next few weeks, the future franchise quarterback is not on the current Vikings roster.
