Anthony Barr held a retirement press conference at Vikings HQ this afternoon attended by some of his former teammates, including Eric Kendricks, Audie Cole and Andrew Sendejo
Texas A&M system leading the University of Texas system after Week 1.
Can only hope they had to give up 3 first rounders plus more…
Ah shit…
J.J. McCarthy will play his first NFL game as a team captain.
#Vikings safety Harrison Smith, who’s been out since Aug. 11, has been recovering from a personal health matter, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. He’ll be evaluated weekly, but he remains on the active roster.
The #Vikings and Adam Thielen are still finalizing a revised contract. Once that's done, Thielen -- who just turned 35 -- will be back in Minnesota for one more run.
This is a decent return but I’m a little surprised Carolina did this, given how much they’ve got riding on Bryce’s development this year
Reunion: The Vikings are trading for their own former star WR Adam Thielen, per me and @tompelissero.bsky.social, as Thielen heads back to MIN after a quick stint in Carolina. Carolina gets: A 2026 5th rounder and a 2027 4th. Minnesota gets: Thielen, a conditional 2026 7th and 2027 5th.
REUNION! The Vikings are acquiring WR Adam Thielen in a trade with the Panthers, sources say. The two teams work out a deal to bring the Minnesota native back home, where he spent the first nine seasons of his career.
by my count there are now SEVEN undrafted rookies expected to make the initial #Vikings 53-man roster QB Max Brosmer OL Joe Huber TE Ben Yurosek LB Austin Keys DL Elijah Williams OLB Chazz Chambliss WR Myles Price
Don’t we have another potential comp pick from Daniel Jones too?
Have to think we are targeting a WR and CB via trade now, right?
Wow... I guess we are picking somebody else up then?
The #Vikings are trading cornerback Mekhi Blackmon to the Colts for a 2026 sixth round pick 
Reunion: Former Bills WR Amari Cooper, one of the NFL’s top free agents still available, is signing with the Raiders on a 1-year deal, per source. Some late, big-time pass-catching help for the team that once drafted him in the first round.
That 2029 conditional 7th rounder just hits different
The #Vikings are trading Sam Howell to the Eagles, along with a 6th-round pick in 2026. They’ll get a fifth-rounder in 2026 and a seventh-rounder in 2027 from the Eagles.
The Vikings are trading QB Sam Howell and a 2026 sixth-round pick to the Eagles for a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 seventh-rounder, sources confirm.
The Vikings are signing QB Carson Wentz, per me and @tompelissero.bsky.social, after a successful workout over the weekend. A new backup for JJ McCarthy.
I'm actually pretty happy with this room. Not that I think Wentz could pull off some Darnold magic if JJM goes down, but he's at least more capable in the short term than Howell. I think by end of the year Brosmer might be able to sneak into that QB2 spot.
He’s amazing in WKUK
Guys, WEAPONS is fucking great. Zach Creggar is YOUNG which means we’ve got decades of his brilliance ahead of us. Yay!
Big giant sign that says “WE ARE BUYERS CALL US”
The #Vikings and Panthers are discussing a trade that would bring Adam Thielen back to Minnesota, sources said. We’ll see if the sides agree on a price, but there’s certainly interest in making a Thielen return happen.
Vikings officially announce the trade sending DT Harrison Phillips and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the New York Jets for two sixth-round picks.
Seems quite low value to get in return for a pretty good player.
Reminds me of when Mr Rogers started announcing when he fed the fish after a blind girl’s request.
Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell says WR Rondale Moore has “a pretty significant” left knee injury. Will have MRI tomorrow. (Via @aleclewis.bsky.social)
Hilarious hearing him interact with the guys on the sidelines, you can tell he’s loved by the team
Vikings WR Jordan Addison officially suspended 3 games without pay for the DUI case from last summer
Why’d you get so many, Arif?
Vikings being out on Aaron Rodgers should help bring clarity. @tompelissero.bsky.social
Basically traded Ed Ingram and a pick swap for Jordan Mason lol
Hell yeah, love this move! #SKOL
Per Katz Brothers Sports, the 49ers are trading Jordan Mason to the Vikings. He gets a 2-year deal with over $7M fully guaranteed at signing with a maximum value of $12M. Negotiated by Jason & Michael Katz. Per me and @tompelissero.bsky.social, it’s a 2026 6th and a pick swap this year for Mason.
I really hope this doesn’t happen. It’s time for JJM to take over the reigns!
Can’t find a trade partner? That’s surprising to me
The Vikings plan to release OL Garrett Bradbury, their 2019 first-round pick.
If they bring back Darnold I will be absolutely shocked unless it’s on like a 1 year $20 mil deal. Surely KOC & KAM agree that it’s JJM time!
Damn that seems like an insane deal for Chicago, surprised someone else couldn’t beat that offer
I’m grateful for the season he gave us but the last 2 games were enough for me to move on. I wish him luck but I hope he’s not back with the Vikings next year
Any news on KAM for a new deal?
No reason to keep him, let’s move on and let JJM take the reins with Daniel Jones or Mullens as the backup.
John is such a great actor! Love how good he is in Severance.
The contract extension talks for GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah are also underway. and it's likely that both will be around for years to come.
Even though I have major concerns about his drafting ability, I like tying KAM and KOC to the same contract length. That way if we need to move on we can get a fresh regime in place completely.
The Vikings and Coach of The Year candidate Kevin O’Connell have agreed to terms on a blockbuster, multi-year extension that keeps him in Minnesota for years to come, per me and @tompelissero.bsky.social. The future is bright for the Vikings, and O’Connell is a big part of it.
Damn, i honestly did not expect this performance from a Harbaugh-led team in the playoffs #NFLPlayoffs
Perfect game 272
Let’s get that 1 seed! Skol!!!
With his 2nd TD pass of the afternoon, QB Sam Darnold has now recorded the fourth-most TD passes by a player in his 1st szn with a team. Matthew Stafford - 41 (2021) Tom Brady - 40 (2020) Peyton Manning - 37 (2012) Sam Darnold - 34 (2024) Brett Favre - 33 (2009) Vinny Testaverde - 33 (1996) #Skol
Vikings ability to attack the middle of the field is a mismatch vs this Packers defense. Darnold is 21/22 for 239 yds and 2 TDs between the numbers today.
Watching A&M vs USC, I think Brock Osweiler is a pretty good commentator, first time I can recall hearing him.
Harrison Smith dropped an easy one last night…
i think im ready for the 2nd string offense at this point... up 21 with 7 minutes and change to go
Playoff berth clinched ✅ 🔗: mnvkn.gs/playoffs2024 #Skol
The team just doesn’t feel like a Super Bowl quality team but I can’t really say why, we’ve played well enough to be in position for the 1 seed but maybe it was the lackluster middle part of the season that kinda lowered my expectations and they haven’t recovered yet.
That was incredible, and dare I say Mahomes-esque?
That’s a lot of limited/DNP!
🔁 Daniel Jones' first touchdown pass of the season was to none other than #Vikings linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel. The signs were always there. 👀 #Skol
OLBs Jonathan Greenard (9.0 sacks), Pat Jones II (7.0) and Andrew Van Ginkel (9.0) combined for 25.0 sacks in 11 games, the most sacks by trio of Vikings teammates in 11 games since 1993 when Chris Doleman (9.5), Henry Thomas (8.5) and John Randle (7.5) combined for 25.5 sacks. #Skol
