The Los Angeles Rams have constructed their roster in recent years to be a part of the NFL bourgeoisie, and on Monday, they got even richer by trading for EDGE rusher Myles Garrett. Los Angeles was already the favorite to win the Super Bowl next February, so the Garrett trade makes them downright obscene. Now, […]

The Minnesota Vikings somewhat shockingly released linebacker Kobe King last season — a weird ordeal for a rookie drafted in April 2025. It didn’t take long for King to land on his feet with the New York Jets, but seven months later, that relationship has ended, as well. The Jets said goodbye to King on […]

In 2022, the Minnesota Vikings made some foundational changes to their organization, swapping both the head coach and the general manager. GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah quickly made his presence felt in the draft. That class has been discussed ad nauseam. A few months later, Adofo-Mensah facilitated trades for prominent players, bringing in quarterback Nick Mullens and […]

The Minnesota Vikings made their general manager choice official on Monday, hiring Nolan Teasley from the Seattle Seahawks and replacing Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, who was fired four months ago. During the announcement process, the team’s ownership group, the Wilfs, said the quiet part out loud — the club very much has a new triangle of authority. […]

Not long ago, the Minnesota Vikings just could not solve the Seattle Seahawks, and their one major hurdle: prime Russell Wilson. Not quite as deadly as Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay, Wilson still represented a thorn in the Vikings’ side, and as of 2026, the man will leave the NFL as a player, at least […]

In Dwight McGlothern, the Vikings have somebody who boasts upside but who needs further refinement. At what point does that belief in future growth need to shift toward investing in another player? The Vikings corner has already overcome long odds. As an undrafted rookie, McGlothern made the roster, but was seldom used due to the […]

Myles Garrett is a Los Angeles Ram after nine seasons in Cleveland. ESPN’s Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero, and Adam Schefter collectively wrote Monday, “The Cleveland Browns have traded two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams for two-time Pro Bowl pass rusher Jared Verse and multiple draft picks, the […]

In the final year of Mike Zimmer’s Vikings tenure, the entire organization was in a chaotic phase with a head coach who was not talking to the general manager and the infamous culture of fear was taking over in the locker room. One part of the locker room was cornerback Cam Dantzler, who first starred […]

Aside from missing a few games due to a broken wrist, Minnesota Vikings guard Donovan Jackson played quite well as a rookie in 2025 — which is amazing because the lineman said last week that he felt like a “headless chicken” in Year No. 1. That bodes well for Jackson’s second act. If he was […]

Minnesota Vikings fans are optimistic that between two quarterbacks — Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy — the franchise will be in good hands this season and beyond. But don’t tell that to Steve Smith, who ripped both men last week, as the organized team activities (OTAs) got underway. Smith panned McCarthy’s overall skill set and […]

The Minnesota Vikings invested heavily in the interior of the offensive line a year ago, to go along with an excellent pair of tackles and create a formidable offensive line unit — that was the plan. It didn’t quite work that way with multiple injuries disrupting things in what became a season of struggle for […]

Kyler Murray is the third-worst starting quarterback in the NFL heading into June 2026, according to NBC Sports‘ Chris Simms. Murray’s reputation is low at the moment, cast off from the Arizona Cardinals in March and landing in Minnesota a few days later. But most didn’t know it was this low, as described by Simms, often considered […]

Do you remember Dalvin Cook? How about Alexander Mattison? Cook in 2017 and Mattison in 2019 were the last times the Minnesota Vikings featured explosive (or competent) homegrown running backs who made a meaningful dent in the offense. This year, the club has rookie Demond Claiborne in the house, and there’s already hope that he […]

The Vikings’ cap space was looking pretty skimpy. No longer. June has officially arrived. As a result, those post-June 1st cuts from March have given some budgetary relief to the Minnesota Vikings (just in time for new GM Nolan Teasley). All of the sudden, Minnesota sits atop some open room if there’s a desire to […]

The final box the Vikings had to check this offseason was hiring a new general manager. The news broke this past weekend that Seattle’s assistant GM Nolan Teasley would take over. Of course, deals in the NFL can always implode until they’re finalized. In this case, the Vikings made it official on Monday afternoon. Vikings […]

The Minnesota Vikings have a full off-ball linebacker room in 2026, so much so that a Buffalo Bills-centric website believes Blake Cashman will be released and become a late-summer roster addition option for Josh Allen’s team. It’s a zany theory because it just doesn’t make sense to drop Cashman from a Vikings standpoint, but it’s […]

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy sparked a minor controversy last week by saying he and new passer Kyler Murray are basically like high school acquaintances, while Murray told media members the two were solid and in more of a mentor-mentee relationship, as is often seen with a veteran and a young quarterback. It did not […]
