The Minnesota Vikings finally have a rookie class that’s bigger than just a handful of players. This year, nine rookies arrived via the draft and many more right after the three-day event. While the expectations are high for those who cost draft capital, the undrafted free agent class doesn’t have any of that. Though they […]

Just because the Minnesota Vikings appear to be on track for a Kyler Murray season at QB1 does not mean that J.J. McCarthy will be on the trade block. That’s the message from The Athletic‘s Alec Lewis this week, as McCarthy trade rumors have swirled in recent days after some thought McCarthy sounded disgruntled at […]

Kyler Murray left the Arizona Cardinals in March — they kicked him out — and now that franchise is embroiled in a contractual standoff with Jacoby Brissett, a man viewed by most as a decent backup quarterback in the NFL. The Cardinals are no stranger to messy operations, but even this situation feels bizarre by […]

Mercifully, the so-called triangle of authority has not been resurrected, instead allowed to stay in its grave. The Vikings had a press conference for new GM Nolan Teasley earlier in the day. Vikings co-owner Mark Wilf, the one commonly tasked with media duties, got asked about who gets the final say on personnel. Per Wilf, […]

Don’t give up on quarterbacks after a handful of games, and for damn sure don’t rely on social media and TikTokers as your source for quarterback intel — that’s Sam Darnold’s message to the masses last week. Darnold spoke on a podcast about football teams and coaching staffs leaving young passers for dead too prematurely, […]

Going into 2026, the NFL salary cap sits at a touch beyond $300 million. Individual teams can surpass that basic allotment depending on carryover money (which is to say nothing of the cap shenanigans that borrow from future budgets). Teams can spend aggressively. The end result is a Justin Jefferson mess for the Vikings’ new […]

The NFL was rocked by two ginormous trades on Monday, with EDGE rusher Myles Garrett heading to the Los Angeles Rams and wide receiver A.J. Brown, alas, traveling east to the New England Patriots. In the backdrop, Bleacher Report sized up the most tradeable player for each NFL team, and for Minnesota, safety Theo Jackson […]

Last year’s Vikings season went up in smoke primarily due to the subpar quarterback play the trio of passers provided throughout the year. Unsurprisingly, the most important task this offseason was to add some oomph to the quarterback room. Kyler Murray arrived in March to shake up the depth chart and either replace or push […]

The Minnesota Vikings officially hired new general manager Nolan Teasley from the Seattle Seahawks on Monday, hoping to extract some of his Super Bowl shine for a team that has never won it all in 65 years of existence. Along the way, noted NFL writer Albert Breer of SI.com praised the move, as did most […]

After June 1st, a date well-known in the NFL as a salary cap milestone and reset each year, the Minnesota Vikings have over $13 million in cap space. SI.com‘s Will Ragatz wrote Monday, “For much of May, after signing Jauan Jennings, the Vikings were pretty tightly up against the salary cap, with maybe 1 or […]

A few years ago, things got a bit strange in the NFC North. After decades of the NFC being dominated by the Packers, Vikings, and Bears, the Lions finally had a run of being a big threat and the top dog. Their coach, Dan Campbell, came in and brought a bravado and swagger the team […]
