The Vikings "briefly explored" a 2nd-year on the contract for Kyler Murray, per @AlbertBreer. You can definitely tell the Vikings and Kevin O'Connell have envisioned this as more than a 1-year fling. "Then, Murray, Brezinski, O’Connell, Burkhardt and a few others had lunch in the draft room, the Vikings’ brass broke off for a final meeting with the doctors, and then O’Connell pulled Murray aside and told him he wanted him to come aboard. Murray responded, “This is where I want to be.” And from there, Brezinski and Burkhardt went to negotiate a relatively simple deal on the minimum, with a second year briefly explored, and a no-tag provision included."

The #Vikings and LB Eric Wilson have agreed to terms on a three-year, $22.5 million deal with $12.5 million fully guaranteed, source says. In his second stint in Minnesota, more than doubles his previous average per year in a new deal done by @RyanWilliamsA1 of @AthletesFirst.

Derek Carr to the Vikings???? @BenGoessling, @emleiker, and @Andrew_Krammer with some back and forth on Carr. Goessling: “Yeah, yeah, [Carr’s name] came up more than I thought it would. I mean, that name came up more than I thought it would…” Krammer: “Well, that's interesting. What can you say about what you heard about this in terms of like the Vikings might be interested in bringing him in? Leiker: “Yeah, it sounded that way. I think one of the things we were talking about with someone was obviously the fact that he retired and how that was maybe more just a way to kind of keep the Saints out of some salary cap issues and like retire instead of being injured and on the roster for a year, because I believe he had a shoulder injury is the injury that he had. So we heard some of that and maybe it wasn't like a, I'm done playing football and more of a favor to the team type situation.” (Via: @AccessVikings)
