Will there be anymore signings?

I expect a few more signings with one being at the QB position obviously. Maybe a safety and tight end as well. What positions do you think they still might add another player?

J.J. McCarthy: Vikings haven’t told me I’m the starter

Word earlier this month that the Vikings are not currently pursuing Aaron Rodgers was accompanied by word that they’ve told other teams they are prepared to move forward with J.J. McCarthy as their starting quarterback.

*McCarthy hasn’t received the same message from the team at this point....

The Minnesota Vikings have set themselves up to be in an enviable position in round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft. They’re truly in a position where they can draft the best player available (BPA). Typically speaking, you’ll see a need for a starter or an immediate contributor get pushed ahead of simply picking the best player. The Vikings have signed players at key spots and brought back enough of their own, to feel good about the starting lineup. They will be drafting for depth and upgraded talent. The Vikings might not have a large quantity of picks, but hoping...

The veteran Quarterback search continues!

The free agency period is slowing down significantly but there still are some good players available. Obviously, the Vikings need a backup QB of some sort. He who shall not be named is off the radar apparently but there are still those who believe it is not dead yet. With Crab Legs Winston getting signed by the Giants, the available backup QBs are dwindling. The Vikings sure are slow playing this allowing all the nonsense to continue to be debated.

What do you think of this option?

Now that Aaron Rodgers has gotten the hint about the Minnesota Vikings not being interested in his services, reports are surfacing that the purple are looking at another longtime veteran to serve as a backup and mentor to young J.J. McCarthy.

Numerous sources are reporting that the Vikings have reached out to Ryan Tannehill about serving as their backup quarterback this season.

Tannehill is a former top ten draft pick, as the Miami Dolphins selected him at #8 overall in the 2012 NFL Draft. He spent his first seven seasons with the Dolphins...

The Vikings have done one of the best jobs of improving their team through the early stages of free agency, but has it done enough to gain ground amongst the NFL’s elite?

The Vikings have done just about everything they needed to in free agency thus far. Kevin O’Connell and Kwesi Adofo-Mensah wanted to get bigger and better throughout both sides of the trenches and they’ve done just that by acquiring four instant-impact free agents, two on either side of the line: Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave on defense and Will Fries and Ryan Kelly on offense.

Despite these moves,...

We are still waiting on the backup QB spot to be filled

The signings continue to trickle in and the pickup of Rondale Moore was a nice addition to the wide receiver group. Moore turns 25 on June 9th and still has a lot of upside IMO. He is averaging 45 catches a year for 400 yards and 1 TD in his short career. He has been banged up and did not play last year due to a knee injury. He ran a 4.28 forty at the combine which is still enticing enough to get a job.

What other position...

How have the Vikings done with Free Agency thus far?

The Minnesota Vikings have been extremely busy so far in free agency as they reshape their roster around their newly crowned QB1, JJ McCarthy.

Ryan and Nick take some time to digest all the latest on the possibility of Aaron Rodgers to the Vikings and what it meant that the team was even considering the possibility of adding the former Packer.

The guys then take some time to reaffirm their love for JJ McCarthy and talk about why he is set up well to lead the Vikings in 2025 and...

The right move

Since free agency got underway in the National Football League, there has been quite a bit of speculation about the Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback situation. On this Wednesday morning, the team seems to have provided at least one answer. . .one that, at least on the surface, appears to be the obvious one.

Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network is reporting that the Vikings have told other teams that they are moving forward with J.J. McCarthy at quarterback, pointing out that the team has rejected multiple trade calls for their young signal caller.

The Vikings drafted McCarthy at...

Who? Let’s find out together!

After the signing of Jeff Okudah earlier on Tuesday morning, the Minnesota Vikings decided to add some depth to their wide receiver room as well.

The team has announced that they have reached an agreement with wide receiver Tim Jones, with the terms of that deal not immediately being made available.

Jones initially signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Mississippi in 2021 and spent that entire season on the Jacksonville practice squad. Over the past three seasons, he has appeared in all 51 regular season games for the...
