• Theo Jackson Named to PFF All-Breakout Team for 2025

Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports The Vikings’ next star at safety? The Minnesota Vikings are going to have to fill the hole in their defense created by Camryn Bynum signing with the Indianapolis Colts, but they might already have a very good option waiting in the wings, according to one source. Pro Football Focus has put together their “All-Breakout Team” for the 2025 season, and one of thei...2025

• Why a Josh Metellus Extension is a Tough Deal for the Vikings to Negotiate

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. Metellus has been a hybrid third safety in Brian Flores’ scheme, lining up mostly in the slot, although he’s lined up at li...2025

Photo by Stephen Maturen/Getty Images We get another chance to see our new QB! Mandatory Minicamp is getting underway today. It will be nice to read all the reports about who the players look in practice especially JJ McCarthy. At the same time there is another cornerback available which will not cost a draft pick.

• Vikings OTA Observations

Separating the usual from the unusual this time of year As the Minnesota Vikings complete their OTA practices over the past couple weeks, they still have mandatory mini-camp next week and one more round of OTAs the following week- we are beginning to get a little flavor for this year’s team and how it may differ from last year’s team. Of course this is the time of year for a lot of throw-away li...2025

Photo by Donald Miralle/Getty Images The offseason is here and I always go back and remember my favorite plays from the year and look back at previous teams. The Vikings have had what seems like three generations of fans. The 70s Super Bowls, the 90s/00s Denny Green teams and the more modern Zimmer/KOC generation. There are more in between obviously, but those were/are the best times in pu...2025

Obviously, the QB situation brings “worry” but the rookie QBs last year performed fairly well so there is no reason to believe that JJ McCarty is not going to do well especially playing in KOC’s offense. ...

• Joining Harrison Smith as Teammates a Bit Surreal for Byron Murphy
The cornerback said he experienced a similar feeling when he was drafted by Arizona in 2019 and got to play two seasons with eight-time Pro Bowler Patrick Peterson, who spent the past two seasons with Minnesota before joining Pittsburgh this offseason. "Just to talk to [Harrison] and have his knowledge on the field is a blessing for us," Murphy said. "When it's time to get serious, [I can] ask him...2023

"com/9HMthTOACD— Detroit Lions (@Lions) January 6, 2025 But on the very first play, the Lions tried a deep shot, and there was a clear miscommunication between Goff and Jameson Williams, as the Lions receiver stopped running, giving Harrison Smith an easy interception."

2024
"A few weeks ago, we wondered in this space about how the Minnesota Vikings would handle safety Harrison Smith and his contract."

2023
"Kirk Cousins was intercepted by Charvarius Ward on a pass intended for Jordan Addison on the Vikings’ first drive, but that was countered shortly thereafter by Harrison Smith forcing a fumble from Christian McCaffrey that was recovered by Dean Lowry to end the Niners’ threat."

2022
"Vikings restructure contracts of Harrison Smith, Adam Thielen to save more than $14M in cap room, per report"

2021
"Pro Bowl safety Harrison Smith wants to retire as a Viking, excited about Patrick Peterson's arrival"

2020
"Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox had one of the highlights of Sunday’s Pro Bowl when he took a lateral from Vikings safety Harrison Smith and took it 61 yards for a touchdown."

2019
"Key players such as Danielle Hunter, quarterback Kirk Cousins, running back Dalvin Cook, wide receiver Adam Thielen, offensive tackle Riley Reiff, center Pat Elflein, linebacker Eric Kendricks, safety Harrison Smith, cornerback Xavier Rhodes and defensive end Everson Griffen are all under contract through 2020 and beyond."

2018
"Mike Zimmer said this week he’s optimistic the veteran Harrison Smith will"

2017
"The NFL recently released its 2017 Pro Bowl roster, and one person who was deserving of a trip to the annual exhibition, Harrison Smith, was not on it."

2016
"Harrison Smith is going to be the centerpiece of the Vikings' defense for the foreseeable future -- and a highly paid one at that."

2015
"It was called the Harrison Smith Express:The Minnesota safety lowered his shoulder and absolutely smashed Kaepernick, putting Number 7 on his back in a hurry."

2014
"Let’s start with the “sting” route versus Vikings safety Harrison Smith, playing over the top in the deep half."

The 2025 NFL Draft is in the books and the Minnesota Vikings emerged with a total of five draft picks and a veteran backup quarterback as well.

• Will the Vikings Be Able To Find A Trade Partner In This Year’s Draft?

Options abound for the Minnesota Vikings in this year’s draft. Because the team did a great job of filling roster holes in free agency, the Vikings don’t have a clear top need at any one position. Safety dominates the mock draft results. Still, the need for a starter is a year away because the room has Harrison Smith, Josh Metellus, and Theo Jackson....2025
