The Facts:
The Vikings hired Spielman as vice president for player personnel Tuesday. Spielman left the Miami Dolphins in June 2005 after five seasons with the club, including one as general manager. Spielman replaces Fran Foley, who was fired after three months on the job following a controversy about inaccuracies on his resume and a draft that got mixed reviews.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Spielman left the Dolphins as he became increasingly irrelevant with Nick Saban having complete control over the roster. As GM, Spielman was widely criticized throughout the 2004 season for personnel decisions. Miami went 4-12 that season, one of the worst records in franchise history. In Minnesota, his control over final personnel decisions will be limited.
