The Minnesota Vikings are expected to sign four-time Pro Bowl center Ryan Kelly to a two-year, $18 million deal, NFL Network reports.

I like it, cya Garret. And chance we still land Will Fries?

BFlo wasn't here yet.

Good catch. Change to "the coaching staff at the time".


Hamilton's biggest knock was his 40 time speed. ... I think Hamilton would have fit any scheme.

That's the logic I don't subscribe to. Hamilton may have fit many schemes but not ours, who knows. With our ...

Man, I don't know how you can make any judgement on a head coach when his QB is playing as poorly as he was. When your QB can't complete passes on simple screen plays (there were three designed screens where he either threw a bad pass, or just refused to throw the football) what plays can you call ...

Not at all.
I mentioned four things: O line, Sam holding the ball too long, KOC and play calling, and defense giving up chunks.
The not making adjustments applies to each of those.

What you say here basically covers this too.
"He has been a little stubborn at times as a playcaller, some of his ...

After watching Darnold's latest performance against the Lions, I'm going to call it right now and predict there will NOT be a future QB controversy and that, when this season ends somewhat unceremoniously with a .500 or so record, the Vikings will at best offer to bring Darnold back as McCarthy ...

I guess put me under the doom and gloom category, I just see no point in spending money in F/A especially a 1 year deal when the team isn’t a contender. To me this is exactly how you stay .500 forever. The Vikings are hoping Darnold plays well so they can possible tag him and trade him, but if we ...

I think I'll change my prediction to 2025. This sucks. Feel like it takes the air out of the season before it even starts.

100%, I always joke with friends that we get so excited over the off ...

"Snake Bitten" does seem to be the appropriate term. I convinced myself several years ago that if there is a God... the only thing he/she hates more than the Viking are the Vikings' fans. It's really hard to not be a cynical bastard when you're a Vikings' fan. It's not a question of if ...

Surgery. *sigh*

ESPN Sources: Vikings rookie first-round pick J.J. McCarthy is expected to be undergo knee surgery that will determine how much time he will be sidelined. McCarthy complained ...

Looks like JJM will receive “significant” amount of snaps, followed by Hall, Mullens likely to sit.

“Rookie J.J. McCarthy will get a "significant amount of work" before handing it off to second-year man Jaren Hall, O'Connell said.

Nick Mullens probably won't see the field "in an attempt to ...

I'm glad we didn't draft Levis. IMO he will be a below average starting QB at best and I'm glad we are not wasting time with him.

Look my judgement in QBs isn't very good. I would have selected M Jones. I liked Levis. I like JJM. I'm as bad as the pros.


I liked Manziel! But my hb history ...

Pretty much what I’ve taken from it. JJM has looked great in camp and it hasn’t resulted in any type of split in first team touches, like what did the guy have to do to get a chance? KOC lying through his teeth if he says QB is an open competition.


With the practice rules there isn't really ...

In the end it's not a competition. They are trying to coach Darnold up and turn him into a solid starter by week 1. KOC who gets the blame for the Haskins bust don't won't another on his resume. Darnold is a hedge your bet player. He was named the starter immediately. Once he has a few bad outings ...

Veteran quarterback Sam Darnold rebounded nicely at Minnesota Vikings Training Camp practice on Friday having his best session of camp. This is from PurpleFTW who is the ultimate homer but does a good job with the content he provides. I give him credit for that.

I think things are going to get real interesting during pre season.
