Teddy Bridgewater is fine not starting in Week 1 with the Minnesota Vikings.

Bridgewater will attempt to beat out Matt Cassel and Christian Ponder.

“It’s not tough at all because I have nothing but my best interest for the team,” Bridgewater said. “And I’m very excited about this team that we have here. …If I’m not the guy then I know the coaches have the best interest for the team also. My teammates also have the best interest for the team. So in order for me to be a better player, I have to have the best interest for the team and want nothing but the best interest for the team.”

Kevin Williams is still looking to sign with a team three months into free agency.

Williams left visits to the Seattle Seahawks and New York Giants without a contract.

As a 33-year-old vested veteran entering his 12th season, Williams would garner a minimum contract of $955,000 versus the rookie minimum of $420,000.

Williams has interest in joining the New England Patriots.

Williams seems content to wait until August or even to contemplate retirement.

"I've done well managing my money. I think I'd be fine if I don't play," Williams told Pelissero. "But that's my hope -- I hope to be on somebody's team before summer's out."

Mike Zimmer nearly withdrew his name from consideration for the Minnesota Vikings' head coaching vacancy after his first interview.

Zimmer is a 57-year-old first time head coach.

“I almost didn’t go [for a second interview in Minnesota], yeah,” Zimmer said. “I was so disappointed. It was like, ‘Why even do this?’ It was to that point. I figured I was getting too old . It thought, ‘Forget this.’

“But I talked to a couple of people who said, ‘Hey, you’ve gotta go. What are you doing?’”
