• The Vikings’ Roster Puzzle: Who Makes the Cut?

Tyler Forness projects Darrisaw, O’Neill, Skule, and Rouse at tackle; Fries, Kelly, Jackson, Brandel, Jurgens inside. Rouse risks being cut if Logan Brown outshines him, as Rouse struggles laterally. Versatility inside could save Rouse, but Brown’s upside threatens his spot. Lee’s signing hints at center depth concerns. | Matt Krohn-Imagn Images Shocking cuts! Vikings’ 53-man roster projec...2025

• Vikings’ Mini-camp: a Front-row Seat to the Team’s Progress

J.J. McCarthy showed promise at Vikings mini-camp, with a 61 MPH throw and leadership, despite some interceptions. His backups, Sam Howell and Brett Rypien, compete for QB2, with Howell’s arm strength shining. Rookie Max Brosmer impresses as a long-term prospect, but concerns linger over depth if McCarthy falters. | Matt Krohn-Imagn Images Dive into the Minnesota Vikings’ 2025 mandatory mi...2025

Matt Krohn-Imagn Images The team will get a nice rest before training camp! Minicamp is in the books and the next scheduled OTAs have been cancelled.

• The Kwesi Adolfo-Mensah Era: So Far, So Good

Photo by Michael Hickey/Getty Images An Examination of the Record to Date I enthusiastically support the extension for Vikings general manager Kwesi Adolfo-Mensah. Since this view carries as much sway as the vote on what to have for dinner in my own house, a deeper examination is warranted. I’m aware this viewpoint welcomes some pushback, as the lively thread on the DN article announcing ...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

• Breaking Down the Vikings Cornerback Depth Chart

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. However, the Vikings may be more comfortable with their cornerback room in their own assessment. ...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

Jaire Alexander, recently cut by the Packers, could transform the Vikings’ secondary. His elite skills fit Brian Flores’ aggressive defense, despite injury risks (34/68 games played). A 1-year, $10M deal is proposed, leveraging Vikings’ success with injured players like Aaron Jones. His “petty” edge could shine vs. Green Bay. | Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images Tyler Forness & Dave Stefan...2025

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.
