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...

The team is steadily making moves!

Free agency is now at the stage where small signings will all that we will probably see. The largest one will likely be for another QB whether that be you know who or someone else. The current cap space is still about 32M but that is without Jordan Mason included. The details are not out yet but here is one site that has something ...

We do not know if there are any void years included. This probably takes the cap space down to 28.5M.

The Bradbury post June1 cap savings of about...

The Vikings would be over the moon to land an impact cornerback like Texas’ Jahdae Barron in this year’s draft.

The Vikings need help at outside cornerback in a bad way.

With the team seemingly moving on from both Shaq Griffin and Stephon Gilmore — both of whom combined for over 1,300 snaps played in 2024 — the Vikings don’t have any names in the room to feel super confident in outside of Byron Murphy. The team did just sign former Lions first-rounder Jeff Okudah to a one-year deal, but that’s seemingly just a low-cost pick to help raise the...

Everything you need to know is right here

Folks, we have made it to the second major event of the 2025 NFL offseason. With the Scouting Combine in the books, the focus now shifts to free agency and what the Minnesota Vikings will do with the boatload of cap space they’re currently sitting on.

They’ve made one move already, preventing running back Aaron Jones from reaching free agency by inking him to a two-year, $20 million contract extension on Sunday afternoon, but there are still plenty of moves to be made for a team that, despite going 14-3 last season,...

The Vikings are making a cheap signing to flesh out the cornerback room with former Texans CB Jeff Okudah.

After visiting with the Vikings on Monday, former first-round cornerback Jeff Okudah is signing with the team on a one-year deal, per NFL insider Adam Schefter. Okudah was most recently with the Houston Texans where he played in six games for a team that made it to the divisional round of the playoffs.

The 26-year old Okudah is a former first-round pick of the Detroit Lions in 2020. He started six games while playing in only nine total due to injuries....

From Aaron Rodgers rumors to a detailed mock draft.

This episode of The Real Forno Show delivers a comprehensive breakdown of the Minnesota Vikings’ latest offseason action, blending expert analysis with engaging banter. Tyler Forness and Dave Stefano explore the team’s surprising trade for running back Jordan Mason, Garrett Bradbury’s release, and why Justin Jefferson’s $35 million AAV now looks...

With still over $30 million in cap space this year, why would the Vikings opt for a little more?

When the Minnesota Vikings released Garrett Bradbury, it was reported that he would be designated as a post-June 1st release, which allows the Vikings to shift more of the deadcap hit for releasing Bradbury into next year. That’s typically a move teams make when they don’t have a lot of cap space to work with in the current year- but the Vikings have over $30 million in cap space remaining this year.

That begs the question of why would they feel...

Lots of love for the Vikings’ free agency moves

The Minnesota Vikings still have around $30 million in salary cap space for 2025, but after the first week of free agency, when most of the big moves are made, the national media has begun giving team grades for their free agency moves.

Here is how some of the major media outlets are grading the Vikings’ free agency so far:

Sporting News

Grade: A-

• Key additions: C Ryan Kelly, G Will Fries, DT Jonathan Allen, DT Javon Hargrave, CB Isaiah Rodgers, S Tavierre Thomas, RB Jordan Mason
• Key...

What does that mean?

The man who has been the primary starter at center for the Minnesota Vikings since he was drafted is now, officially, no longer with the team.

The Vikings have announced that they are releasing center Garrett Bradbury after being unable to find a trade partner. The move comes with a post-June 1st designation, which we’ll get to here in a moment.

The writing was on the wall for Bradbury when the Vikings signed veteran Ryan Kelly to a two-year deal in free agency last week. He has started 88 games for the Vikings since the team...
