Cam Akers Has Found His 2024 Team
The Minnesota Vikings kicked off their annual training camp on Sunday with the arrival of the rookies.

The Minnesota Vikings will hold their training camp in the upcoming weeks, which can be viewed as the unofficial kickoff to the 2024 season.

5 Mr. Mankato Candidates for Vikings Training Camp
Vikings training camp begins on Tuesday when the veterans join the rookies at TCO Performance Center two days after the first-year players are scheduled to report this year. Years ago, when training camp was still held in Mankato, the folks from SKOR North initiated an annual award, determining one emerging out-of-nowhere player.
The Irony of Sam Darnold
After five seasons in the NFL, Sam Darnold finally got what he needed: the chance to sit behind a superior quarterback while soaking up wisdom from a great NFL coach. Initially, Darnold was entrusted with leading a Jets team that has proven to be a mess over the past several years. Getting shipped over to Carolina didn’t go too much better, for the Panthers are among the worst teams in the NFL. The San Francisco opportunity, though, allowed for Darnold to hit the reset button. Ironically, Darnold is now being tasked with giving J.J. McCarthy the chance to develop slowly, the precise opportunity he didn’t get.

Vikings Get the Job Done, Sign QB
Well, there may have been a bit of hand wringing in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, but the Vikings have gotten the job done. J.J. McCarthy has put pen to paper. ESPN’s Adam Schefter has the word: “Sources: Minnesota Vikings No. 10 overall pick J.J. McCarthy is signing a four-year, fully-guaranteed contract worth $21.85 million that includes a $12.71 million signing bonus and a fifth-year team option.”
The Vikings Have an Under-The-Radar Rookie
With training camp getting closer, the rookies are about to enter the practice facility in Eagan, Minnesota. The Vikings acquired a bunch of rookies, and of course, the attention will primarily go to first-rounders J.J. McCarthy and Dallas Turner.

Coming off a 7-10 season, the Minnesota Vikings want to improve their record in the upcoming campaign. The oddsmakers are skeptical of that idea, listing the team with a projected win total of about seven. Many new players have been acquired throughout the offseason in the draft and free agency, and they will all compete with the returning athletes in training camp for the jobs on the team.
Spielman Got it Wrong
Not too long ago, a prominent theory was that Minnesota would forfeit up to three 1st-Round picks (and possibly more) to go get a young passer in the 2024 NFL Draft. Rick Spielman explored that precise possibility. Instead, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah patiently waited, making just a minor hop up the board...
6 Vikings Selected in UFL Draft
Eight teams comprise the UFL ‒ the United League of Football. United because the XFL and the USFL merged.
