Photo by Bailey Hillesheim/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images A new quarterback and other new personnel could result in some changes this season We often talk about Brian Flores and his defense when we talk about Minnesota Vikings’ schemes, but Kevin O’Connell gets a lot of praise for his play design and play calling ability too.

• Notes from Vikings 7/29 Practice

Observations from Tuesday’s training camp practice I decided to go down to the Minnesota Vikings’ training camp again today and check out today’s action. It was another hot day in the mid-80s but today the players got a bit of a reprieve as they were in shorts and shells rather than full pads like yesterday. Here are my notes from the day.

• NFL Chaos vs. Vikings Calm: Training Camp Tidbits & More

In the episode, hosts praised Josh Metellus’ $36M extension (up to $42M, $25M guaranteed), a big raise from his $3.7M 2025 base. They highlighted his journey: 2020 rookie cut, minimal snaps early, now key versatile defender & leader. He held in OTAs but focused on football, saying, “I’ll let my agent handle it.” Congrats on earning it—last vet contract sorted! | Photo by Todd Rosenberg/Getty Image...2025

Photo by Ric Tapia/Getty Images It’s a great time of year! I realize that most of the hesitation from media types and “analysts” about the potential of the Vikings is based on how JJ McCarty is going to play. It is fair to be cautious in your assessment but there is way too many folks who are simply assuming he is going to be “average”. You do not see many of these folks comparing what JJ ...2025

• Vikings Roster Battles To Heat Up: Forness’ Bold 53-Man Projections

Christian Darrisaw reported to Vikings camp but wasn’t placed on the PUP list yet, unlike others. Forness speculates he might not have completed his physical, or he’s fully ready—leaning toward the former due to the team’s conservative injury approach. He could still end up on PUP/IR, missing at least four games; it’s a tidbit to monitor as camp begins. | Photo by Ric Tapia/Getty Images Ty...2025

• Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Is JJ McCarthy Ahead Of The Curve?

Photo by Stephen Maturen/Getty Images He has spent a year learning the offense! I am a firm believer in giving a young QB at least two years of starts (I would do three years if I am running things) before attempting to make a decision on their long term prospects with the team. Young QBs need time and will make mistakes like all QBs do. Patience is the key. The hopes are obviously very hi...2025

Post-OTA/minicamp edition It’s only mid-June and the Minnesota Vikings have finished mandatory minicamp and OTAs and are off until the start of training camp at the end of July.

• 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

• McCarthy’s Arm, Jefferson’s Bond, and More

J.J. McCarthy’s arm strength was debated on The Real Forno Show. Tyler Forness refuted Colin Cowherd’s claim of a “mediocre arm,” citing McCarthy’s 61 mph NFL Combine throw and direct reports from TCO. McCarthy attributed skepticism to Michigan’s run-heavy offense and his 6’2” frame. His bond with Justin Jefferson grows, showing promise. | Matt Krohn-Imagn Images McCarthy’s arm streng...2025
