When should we expect him back?

As we get closer to the start of training camp for the Minnesota Vikings (and the 31 other teams that don’t matter as much as the Minnesota Vikings), one of the questions that we are eagerly anticipating an answer to is the status of star left tackle Christian Darrisaw. Darrisaw suffered a torn ACL in the team’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams in October and wound up missing more than half the season.

Darrisaw’s return would be a huge lift to a Vikings’ offensive line that has seen a significant overhaul on the...

Bryant McKinnie was voted as the OT1 for the Vikings All Quarter Century Team. Which other tackle will end up joining him in this elite group?

In a fairly competitive race, Bryant McKinnie won the vote to be our first offensive tackle named to the Vikings All Quarter Century Team. Before the poll, I truly did not know where the community was going to go, but you made your voices heard and McKinnie is the guy.

With one tackle out of the way, let’s jump back into the poll to see who will join him on the All Quarter Century...

Aaron Jones comes in at No. 98 on this year’s NFL Top 100 list as voted on by the players.

The Vikings signed former Packers running back Aaron Jones prior to the 2024 season to help reinforce a backfield that wasn’t all that stellar in 2023. While Jones was entering his age-29 season, the Vikings knew they were going to need his best — and a lot of it — if they were going to be successful last season following the injury to rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy.

What they got out of Jones in his first season with the Vikings...

Great news for the Hall of Famer

When ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown show makes its way back onto the airwaves this September, a face very familiar to Minnesota Vikings fans will be back in the studio on a full-time basis after a scary health diagnosis last year.

Andrew Marchand of The Athletic is reporting that Hall of Famer Randy Moss will be returning to his spot behind the desk this coming season.

“Randy’s return on Super Bowl Sunday was an emotional lift — not just for our team but for the entire football community — and knowing he will...

Are there any players available?

I am not sure there is a player that could be available for trade but this article lists a couple of interesting (to me) candidates.

4 Trade Candidates for Philadelphia Eagles Heading Into Training Camp

Jordan Davis, DT

As a 2022 first-round pick, Jordan Davis delivered a breakout performance last season, playing a significant role in the Eagles’ dominant run defense and earning his fifth-year option through 2026. His 2024 stats—27 total tackles (three for loss) a sack and two pass deflections—aren’t gaudy, but they show a solid and steady contributor.

Sydney Brown, Safety
