Where will this unit rank in the annals of Vikings history???

Things are starting to heat up for the upcoming NFL season. Word out of OTAs is that the Minnesota Vikings' players are all in on 2025. This part of the season is where a lot of chemistry is built through different teambuilding activities. It is the time of the year, I imagine, where nicknames begin to emerge from within the team. But why should the players have all of the fun?

Without further ado, and with many excellent entries from readers like you, we have the four finalists for...

The question has been answered

A few months ago, the Minnesota Vikings inked head coach Kevin O’Connell to a long-term contract extension ahead of his fourth season with the team. Today, they have done the same with the man running the front office.

The Vikings have announced that they have agreed to the terms of a multi-year contract extension with General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. The financial terms of the deal were not immediately made available.

Minnesota hired Adofo-Mensah after an extensive search following Rick Spielman’s dismissal following the 2021 season. Prior to coming to Minnesota, he served in various roles...

Minnesota used a post-June 1 cut on Garrett Bradbury, so they’ll have some cap space opening up June 2.

The Minnesota Vikings are in the midst of a roster retooling coming on the heels of a startling 14-3 finish in 2024. While the playoffs didn’t end the way the team and fans hoped, Minnesota has been working hard to patch their roster holes and build a strong team around first-year starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy. Part of that has been saving and repurposing money through savvy moves, including designated veteran center Garrett Bradbury as post-June 1st release.

Vikings OTA insights, J.J. McCarthy’s growth, and Jalen Ramsey trade rumors dominate this Real Forno Show episode. Could Ramsey be the Vikings’ missing piece, or is McCarthy’s chemistry with Jefferson the real game-changer?

The latest episode of The Real Forno Show, hosted by Tyler Forness and producer Dave Stefano, offers an in-depth look at the Minnesota Vikings’ 2025 Organized Team Activities (OTAs) and the swirling rumors of a potential Jalen Ramsey trade. Airing as part of the Vikings 1st & SKOL production on the Fans First Sports Network, the episode highlights the team’s focus on player development, with Forness emphasizing...

How did our QB look?

The first two days of OTAs are in the books and it is all good right? I think it is and it is nice to see JJ McCarthy out there getting those first team reps. We got a long ways to go but it is a start. If I am going to be honest, I was not a big fan when he was coming out of college. It seemed like too much hype and the draft talk about trading multiple high picks to get him was too much for my tastes. I am happy that...

The former Vikings standout is hitting an early rough patch with the Patriots, all while being away from the team during OTAs.

Former Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs played five seasons in Minnesota before ultimately being traded to the Bills. The best season of his career came in that first year with Buffalo when he recorded career highs of 127 receptions and 1,535 yards. At the same time, that was the same year the Vikings drafted Justin Jefferson so as far as everyone was concerned, it was a true win-win for both sides.

After four seasons on the East Coast,...

On both sides of the ball, even?

When it came to what they wanted to accomplish in free agency and the NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings had one clear goal: get stronger on the interior on both sides of the football. The majority of their free agency signings went towards that goal, as did their first pick in April’s selection meeting when they took Ohio State offensive lineman Donovan Jackson.

Given the way that the Vikings have gone about their business both offensively and defensively in the Kevin O’Connell era, could we start seeing a shift in how the team...

The Vikings got bigger and better this offseason and analysts are agreeing it may be one of the best rosters in the NFL this year.

On Wednesday morning, Eric Edholm of NFL.com went about ranking the top 10 most complete rosters in the NFL. While there may be a few surprises included, most of the teams are and have been at the top for awhile now.

The top spot went to the Philadelphia Eagles who are fresh off their Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. They were followed by the Ravens, Lions, the aforementioned Chiefs, and the [Buffalo...

Yes, it’s been 10 years

Around the SB Nation NFL universe, various websites are looking back at some of the trades their teams have made that helped them acquire star players via the NFL Draft. Even though he no longer plays for our Minnesota Vikings, we’re taking a look back at how the purple came to acquire Danielle Hunter, who was a star for the Minnesota defense for a very long time.

For this, we have to go back to the 2015 NFL Draft, a class that saw the Vikings acquire Trae Waynes, Eric Kendricks, and Stefon Diggs in addition...

Lest you think we were lying

We are a mere two months from the start of Training Camp for the Minnesota Vikings, as well as for the 31 other NFL teams who don’t matter as much as the Minnesota Vikings do.

Yesterday, the team gathered in Eagan for the start of their Organized Team Activities for the 2025 season. We have video proof that this actually happened, courtesy of the team.

Obviously, there isn’t a lot to be seen in the video, but at least it’s football. There are even some players in the video that you’ll recognize!

The long wait is over!

What is the weakest position group on the Vikings?

It has to be Quarterback right now right? I mean, JJ simply has not played yet. Next I think is either Safety or Cornerback. What trades or signings can the team still make? I think after June 1st is when it is most realistic due to cap constraints. Any team needing cap help has to wait until June 1st before making a deal. This would include Jalen Ramsey for example.

All things considered, that is

There are a lot of questions surrounding Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy as he prepares to take the helm in 2025 after missing his entire rookie season. While one might expect McCarthy not to rank too highly among the 32 starting quarterbacks around the NFL, one outlet has him in a place that, all things considered, is a bit of a surprise.

Pro Football Focus has racked and stacked the NFL’s starting quarterbacks and has placed young McCarthy at #21 out of 32. While that may not sound like a terribly impressive ranking, it’s not...
