After going a near perfect 15–1 record in 1998, the Vikings began the 1999 season with high expectations of another great season. Randall Cunningham resumed duties again in 1999, but after a struggling 2–4 start to the season, he was benched and Jeff George was given the starting job as quarterback. A notable part of the season is that, before or during the season, a decent amount of contributors (such as Derrick Alexander, Orlando Bobo, and Jerry Ball, and Stalin Colinet) from their dominant 1998 team were lost to the Cleveland Browns "expansion" team. George finished the season with an 8–2 record, and led the Vikings into the postseason once again, with an overall team record of 10–6 failing to match their record from the 1998 season. Minnesota beat the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card Game 27–10 and faced playoff newcomer Kurt Warner and the St. Louis Rams in the divisional round. The game was a shootout which Minnesota led 17–14 at halftime, but the Rams outscored Minnesota 35 to 20 in the second half to win 49–37. St. Louis would then go on to win Super Bowl XXXIV against the Titans. 3 Offseason 1999 expansion draft 1999 NFL expansion draft + Vikings selected during the expansion draft Pick Name Position Expansion team18 Duane Butler Safety Cleveland Browns27Orlando BoboGuard 1999 draft 1999 NFL draft Pro Bowler 1999 Minnesota Vikings Draft Draft order Player name Position College Notes Round Selection 1 11 Daunte Culpepper Quarterback UCF From RedskinsRedskins The Vikings traded QB Brad Johnson to the Redskins in exchange for first- and third-round selections (11th and 73rd overall), and a 2000 second-round selection (56th overall). 29 Dimitrius Underwood Defensive end Michigan State 2 44 Jim Kleinsasser Tight end North Dakota From SteelersSteelers The Vikings traded their second-, third- and fifth-round selections (59th, 73rd and 163rd overall) to the Steelers in exchange for a second-round selection (44th overall). 59 Traded to the Pittsburgh SteelersSteelers 3 73 Traded to the Pittsburgh SteelersSteelers From RedskinsRedskins 91 Traded to the New England PatriotsThe Vikings traded their third-round selection (91st overall) to the Patriots in exchange for CB Jimmy Hitchcock. 4 120 Kenny Wright Cornerback Northwestern State From DolphinsThe Vikings received a fourth-round selection (120th overall) from the Dolphins as compensation for restricted free agent TE Hunter Goodwin. 125 Jay Humphrey Offensive tackle Texas 5 163 Traded to the Pittsburgh SteelersSteelers 169 Chris Jones Safety Clemson Compensatory pick 6 185 Talance Sawyer Defensive tackle UNLV From Buccaneers, via RavensThe Vikings traded C Everett Lindsay to the Ravens in exchange for a sixth-round selection (185th overall). 199 Antico Dalton Linebacker Hampton 7 236 Noel Scarlett Defensive tackle Langston Notes: Staff 1999 Minnesota Vikings Owner – Red McCombs President – Gary Woods Executive vice president/general manager – Tim Connolly Director of football administration – Rob Brzezinski Head coach – Dennis Green Assistant head coach/defensive backs – Richard Solomon Offensive coordinator – Ray Sherman Quarterbacks – Alex Wood Running backs – Carl Hargrave Wide receivers – Hubbard Alexander Tight ends – Dave Atkins Offensive line – Mike Tice Quality control – Dean Dalton Defensive coordinator – Foge Fazio Defensive line – Andre Patterson Inside linebackers – Tom Olivadotti Outside linebackers – Trent Walters Special teams – Gary Zauner Strength and conditioning – Steve Wetzel Assistant strength and conditioning – John Kasper 2009 Minnesota Vikings Media Guide 251 http://www.vikings.com/news/media-guide.html 2010-03-06 https://web.archive.org/web/20101224103239/http://www.vikings.com/news/media-guide.html 2010-12-24 dead Roster 1999 Minnesota Vikings 53 5 4  8 Todd Bouman 12 Daunte Culpepper y  7 Randall Cunningham  3 Jeff George 44 Leroy Hoard 40 Jim Kleinsasser FB y 45 John Henry Mills FB 33 Harold Morrow FB 26 Robert Smith running back 21 Moe Williams KR 80 Cris Carter 89 Matthew Hatchette 84 Randy Moss PR 19 Yo Murphy 86 Jake Reed American football 81 Chris Walsh American football 87 Carlester Crumpler 82 Andrew Glover 85 Andrew Jordan American football 78 Matt Birk C/T 62 Jeff Christy C 71 David Dixon American football G 67 Jay Humphrey American football y T 63 Corbin Lacina G 76 Chris Liwienski G/T 64 Randall McDaniel G 73 Todd Steussie T 77 Korey Stringer T 91 John Burrough American football DE 96 Jerry Ball DT 92 Duane Clemons DE 95 Keith Council DE 56 Chris Doleman DE 75 Joe Phillips American football DT 93 John Randle DE/DT 97 Talance Sawyer DE y 94 Tony Williams American football DT 51 Rob Holmberg OLB 55 Olrick Johnson MLB 58 Ed McDaniel MLB 57 Dwayne Rudd OLB 52 Kailee Wong OLB 30 Antonio Banks American football CB/S 32 Anthony Bass American football SS 24 Robert Griffith SS 37 Jimmy Hitchcock cornerback CB 31 Don Morgan American football FS y 29 Chris Rogers American football y CB 28 Robert Tate American football CB 20 Kenny Wright CB y  1 Gary Anderson placekicker K 17 Mitch Berger P 68 Mike Morris long snapper LS 50 Pete Bercich LB IR 23 Torrian Gray S PUP 22 David Palmer American football RB/KR/PR IR 27 Keith Thibodeaux American football CB IR 42 Orlando Thomas S IR 50 Antico Dalton LB y -- Carlos Jones CB y -- Mike Parker American football LB 60 Cory Withrow C Preseason Week Date Opponent Result Record Venue Attendance 1 August 13 New York Giants L 21–36 0–1 Hubert H.
