Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and Kevin O’Connell took over in 2021, and O’Connell hired Daniels as his special teams coach. He hired Flores a year later....2025

Matt Krohn-Imagn Images The Vikings’ brass may be happier with it than we think One of the areas many pundits expected the Vikings to address during the draft was cornerback. Indeed, many of them dinged the Vikings in their draft grade for failing to address this perceived position of need.

Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Both sides are talking but terms may be difficult to agree upon Now that the Minnesota Vikings have wrapped up extensions for Byron Murphy Jr., Andrew Van Ginkel, and Josh Oliver, the one most obvious player up for an extension is Josh Metellus.
