Vikings’ Cap Set to Encounter Familiar Foe in 2025
All things considered, the Vikings’ cap is sitting in a good spot for 2025. Over the Cap suggests that Minnesota is operating with somewhere around $54.5 million in open room. Now, keep in mind that looking at a team’s salary cap is like watching a game of ping pong: things go back and forth with great regularity. The simple fact that Dallas Turner and J.J. McCarthy are yet to sign their rookie deals means that the budget isn’t accounting for a pair of highly-picked players. Just those two will push things below $50 million.
Do the Vikings Shave their LB Room Down to the Bare Minimum?
Over the past little bit, I’ve been unveiling a position-by-position roster projection for the Vikings. As the focus shifts to defense, we come around to linebacker. Do the Vikings shave things down to the minimum at this spot?. Right now, there is a ton of optimism surrounding Ivan Pace...
2024 Vikings: 4 Reasons for Optimism
Coming off a 7-10 season, the expectations are low for the 2024 Vikings. Minnesota lost starting quarterback Kirk Cousins in free agency after six seasons as the signal-caller, which is the main reason for the generally skeptical approach. The win total is currently set at seven, and the franchise faces the worst odds to win the NFC North.
Adam Thielen Gives Verdict on Minnesota’s New QB
The Minnesota Vikings will have a new starting quarterback in Week 1 for the first time since Kirk Cousins joined in 2018. It will either be Sam Darnold, the free-agent signing, or rookie J.J. McCarthy, who the Vikings acquired in exchange for the tenth overall pick. The latter has drawn some exciting praise from a former Viking.
Don’t Expect the Free Agent Signing to Be Vikings’ WR3
The Vikings have had an exciting wideout duo for years, first with Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs, then Justin Jefferson and Thielen. Now, sophomore Jordan Addison is foreseen to be Jefferson’s wingman for years to come. The spot behind them, however, has not always been set, particularly before K.J. Osborn emerged in 2021.
Vikings’ UDFA Add at Linebacker is “Athletic,” “Instinctive,” and “A Balanced Tackle Finisher”
Ivan Pace is the gold standard for UDFA linebackers. Basically, anyone coming in at that position needs to emulate what the Cincinnati Bearcat accomplished in Year 1. Can the Vikings’ UDFA LB Dallas Gant be that player? Or, perhaps, can he show at least some of the positives?. Gant...
Former Vikings CB Continues NFL Journey with NFC Rival
Part of what made former Vikings CB Parry Nickerson notable was that he bridged the gap between the Mike Zimmer and Kevin O’Connell eras. Shifting things over to Ed Donatell meant things were looking very different for Minnesota’s defense, but Nickerson stuck around in a depth role. He didn’t hang around in 2023, though, and the 2024 season is bringing even more change. Per KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson, the Philadelphia Eagles have welcomed the corner aboard: “#Eagles signed Parry Nickerson.”
