Will there be anymore signings?

The fifth day of free agency saw the team sign linebacker Eric Wilson and bring in wide receiver Rondale Moore for a visit. Other than that all that was left to talk about is you know who. The bane of the Vikings fans existence eh?

My reading of the tea leaves suggests that the team has to have some kind of plan or idea of what they want to do to add another QB to the room.

Brett Rypien’s career stat line is ...

He has completed 98 out of 168 passes (58.3%) for 950...

Former Cardinals WR Rondale Moore visiting Vikings

Former Cardinals WR Rondale Moore visiting Vikings

The Vikings are reportedly hosting former Cardinals WR Rondale Moore, a former second-round pick in 2021.

The Vikings have one of the best wide receiver duos in the NFL, but that isn’t stopping them from doing their homework and seeing if they can’t get even more explosive on offense.

On Friday morning, NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that former Cardinals and Falcons wide receiver Rondale Moore is visiting with Vikings.

Moore is a former second-round pick by the Cardinals in 2021. He played collegiately at Purdue where he was a 2018 consensus All-American and voted the Big Ten WR of...

We are going to need another QB right?

The fourth day of free agency saw the team sign a decent backup swing tackle for probably not much. Very nice.

I posted a comment yesterday about Aaron Rodgers not being due any money from the Jets for 2025. Thus, he needs a new contract and it will be important to what the money represents right? I do not see the Vikings spending a ton of money to get him. Russell Wilson would also come at a substantial cost. I mean, even if both would take only 20M to come to Minnesota...

Vikes Views: Do You Want Aaron Rodgers?

Vikes Views: Do You Want Aaron Rodgers?

There are plenty of rumors floating around that the Minnesota Vikings are kicking the cans on former Packer and Jets QB Aaron Rodgers. This is obviously very controversial for a few reasons amongst the Viking faithful. However, there’s also a rich history of hall of fame level play from the QB in the not too distant past that has some salivating.

Reasons Why?

  • He’s one of the greatest QBs of all time and it’ hard to argue against that even if you dislike him.
  • The Vikings roster is looking stacked and after winning 14 games last season,...

Report: Vikings to Release Garrett Bradbury If They Can’t Find a Trade

Report: Vikings to Release Garrett Bradbury If They Can’t Find a Trade

The starter at center is on the way out

When the Minnesota Vikings signed center Ryan Kelly away from the Indianapolis Colts early in free agency, the writing figured to be on the wall for incumbent starter Garrett Bradbury. Now, it sounds like that news is going to come sooner rather than later.

Reports have surfaced from numerous sources that the Vikings intend to release Bradbury if they can’t find a trade partner in the very near future. The move would free up around $3.6 million in cap space, or $5.25 million if they wanted to designate him a post-1...

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,...

Vikings Trading Ed Ingram to Houston Texans

Vikings Trading Ed Ingram to Houston Texans

They actually got something in return for him

After making a couple of big signings on the offensive line early in free agency, the Minnesota Vikings needed to make some other moves, and one of those moves has just come across the wire.

According to numerous sources, the Vikings are trading guard Ed Ingram to the Houston Texans. In exchange, the Vikings will receive a sixth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Ingram was one of the Vikings’ two second-round picks in 2022, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah’s first draft as the Vikings’ GM. He appeared in 48 of a possible 51 regular...

Vikes Views: Which Departure Will You Miss the Most?

The Minnesota Vikings have had a lot of additions this offseason. You can follow them all here. They’ve also said goodbye to a few players as well. Which player that signed elsewhere are you going to miss the most?

Cam Bynum

Bynum has been the starting safety the past three seasons. He is best known nationally for choreographing the amazing celebrations we see after big defensive plays. Bynum had 8 INTs in his 65 games in Minnesota.

Sam Darnold

There are a few casual fans out there that might be surprised the Vikings didn’t bring Darnold back after...

The heavy lifting is done but some more work is needed

The third day of free agency saw the team extend Harrison Smith which should solidify the safety position for 2025.

The team still needs another QB, RB, WR, TE, LB, and possibly CB & OT.

The salary cap websites (overthecap & Spotrac) do not have the Ryan Kelly, Will Fries, Javon Hargrave, and Hitman new deals recorded yet.

The team has 48M & 44M left the next two years respectively but those numbers will go down considerably.

I know the talk has been about Aaron Rodgers but I do...
