Dalvin Cook and The 2024 Vikings
Yesterday, Dustin Baker considered the fits for Cook on Vikings Territory. The list of teams — the Jaguars, Saints, 49ers, Seahawks, and Cowboys — all make at least some sense. Allow me to toss in the Chiefs — Super Bowl team with a desire to keep supporting Patrick Mahomes — and Browns — Kevin Stefanski connection — as teams that make sense. Oh, and the Bills, too.

Target joins ranks of Aldi, Whole Foods as stores no longer taking checks
Soon, shoppers will not be able to cut a check to pay for the contents of their Target shopping baskets.

Vikings Defense Appears Ready to Welcome Five New Starters
First off, a tip of the cap to Dustin Baker, who offered a similar piece on Vikings Territory. Where I’ll differ rests in the focus on defense and on who is being elevated.

Edge rusher stands out since Jonathan Greenard landed a four-year deal with a whopping $76 million attached, but he’s not alone in the fight for a new job in Minnesota. Consider the full gamut of players who look like they’ve got a shot at being starters, with one notable name being an in-house youngster who is poised to breakout.
