@paultmcmillan @amzzznation @ShakeDown1979X @debirdiev @ESPNNFL @MeatSauce1 @LRiddickESPN The Vikings were riddled with injuries up front and they were trying to “fix his swing” during games. He played much better when they told him to just go out and play.

@AyePayPay2 @amzzznation @ShakeDown1979X @debirdiev @ESPNNFL @MeatSauce1 @LRiddickESPN And he was horrendous in those games. A prospect many thought was overdrafted but felt he had the floor to play ok enough to game manage. He wasnt close to good enough to do that. He was arguably the worst QB in the NFL last year

"It's over. It's over for J.J. [McCarthy]. ... I know [Minnesota] moved up to 10 to pick him, it's going to be time to move on from him." —@LRiddickESPN on J.J. McCarthy if Kyler Murray signs with the Vikings 👀

@paultmcmillan @amzzznation @ShakeDown1979X @debirdiev @ESPNNFL @MeatSauce1 @LRiddickESPN JJ has started what.. 10 games? At age 22. Missed his entire rookie season. There is a world where he continues to get better.

@AyePayPay2 @amzzznation @ShakeDown1979X @debirdiev @ESPNNFL @MeatSauce1 @LRiddickESPN Murray is worlds better than JJ and he isnt even that good. If he gets hurt what likely happens is JJ continues to not perform at an average level and they just deal with it to get a top pick. Lots of QBs in the 2027 draft

@paultmcmillan @amzzznation @ShakeDown1979X @debirdiev @ESPNNFL @MeatSauce1 @LRiddickESPN The Cardinals are paying Kyler to go away… 🚩

@paultmcmillan @amzzznation @ShakeDown1979X @debirdiev @ESPNNFL @MeatSauce1 @LRiddickESPN But if Kyler gets hurt or benched and JJ comes in and plays well they might. So there is still a lot of things that can happen..

@paultmcmillan @amzzznation @ShakeDown1979X @debirdiev @ESPNNFL @MeatSauce1 @LRiddickESPN There’s a lot of things that can happen between now and May of 2027.

@amzzznation @ShakeDown1979X @debirdiev @AyePayPay2 @ESPNNFL @MeatSauce1 @LRiddickESPN 2 years. That 5th year option has to be taken after year 3 and it'll be like 30 mil. I cant imagine they take it

@tkromo1221 @ESPNNFL @MeatSauce1 @LRiddickESPN I don’t know what this team is thinking.. Ever. I thought I knew.

@AyePayPay2 @ESPNNFL @MeatSauce1 @LRiddickESPN So KOC wanted to run HIS offense with JJ McCarthy and not dumb anything down, but he’s going to change everything now for Kyler? Because there’s no way Kyler can run the offense KOC wants to run.

@mosley33263 @ESPNNFL @MeatSauce1 @LRiddickESPN Yeah I wouldn’t close that book. Would go against everything KOC has said publicly when it comes to young QB’s.

@AyePayPay2 @ESPNNFL @MeatSauce1 @LRiddickESPN I know. Sounds off. I see it as time for JJ to sit and learn.

@JanikEckardt He wants a raise coming off injury and they surrendered 7 picks to draft Dallas Turner in 2024... Time to play the kid.

Want to reiterate that trading your best defender for anything less than a 1st-rounder to save cap space is the dumbest possible thing you can do If he's expensive, save elsewhere instead of getting rid of your star player

@DustBaker Yep! As long as this signing has no effect on their plan to get younger and more explosive at RB it's all good.

If the Vikings draft a RB before the end of Round 4 in April, I love that Aaron Jones is back. If the Vikings don't draft a RB before the end of Round 4 in April, I don't truly love that Aaron Jones is back.

@thorku They should've drafted his replacement in last year's draft!

April’s RB class being bad makes it good biz to bring back AJ at this price Find Jones’ replacement a year from now when there are better market factors to do so Vikings woulda been in tough spot of forcing RB pick in a bad class if they hadn’t done this — likely woulda reached

If I’m the Vikings, im now sitting out the crappy 2026 RB class — barring a fun situation-specific prospect late (R6/R7) to push Scott for RB3… a guy like Pitt’s Desmond Reid (tiny but an awesome receiver) or Navy’s Eli Heidenreich (could be a Will Shipley-like receiving back)

@alec_lewis This better not stop them from drafting one

The Vikings and RB Aaron Jones have agreed to a revised contract for 2026, per source. Minnesota has valued Jones, especially as pass catcher and for his leadership internally. Still could see a drafted RB in play next month.

@MySportsUpdate Good idea

#Vikings C Ryan Kelly is retiring from the NFL after 10 seasons. The former 4x Pro Bowler spent the first 9 years of his career with Indianapolis and his final season in Minnesota.

ANT JUST DETONATED ON RJ BARRETT 😱💥

@AntEdwardsFilms 32 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 3 assists

Drop your Anthony Edwards statline predictions for today’s game vs Toronto. Closest prediction in PRA gets a feature🙌

@TheRealForno Expensive, drops, no YAC ability to name a few. If he’s just going to stay in to block and catch dump offs they can find that on the street.

If you want the Vikings to release T.J. Hockenson, I have two questions: 1. Why? 2. What's your plan to replace him?

@whoknowsvikes “Organization fail young quarterbacks before young quarterbacks fail organizations” hard for me to believe they would move on from him after one “healthy” season where he was thrusted into the starting job before being “ready” for it.

I just don’t believe KOC would be willing to give up on him after 10 games. I just don’t believe it.

@adukeMN 2 years ago he would’ve told us what he said 🤣

Anthony Edwards on his lob to Donte DiVincenzo “I told him I didn’t think he was gonna catch it, I thought I was going to be on film for sure, and I told him(laughs) I’m not going to say what I told him”

@vikingzfanpage @DWolfsonKSTP @SKORNorth If this happens I will be donating a lot of purple

The #Vikings are “exploring the possibility” of going after Daniel Jones after the transition tag has been placed on him, @DWolfsonKSTP mentioned via @SKORNorth. “Daniel Jones is certainly somebody at least that needs to be on our radar.”
