The Minnesota Vikings started to make free agent moves, what else should they do?
Rumors are flying as free agency is in it’s beginning stages. Will the Vikings sign Michael Johnson? It made a lot more sense before extending Everson Griffen. Does Alterraun Verner have a huge contract, and a purple jersey in his future? Let’s hope so! One area of need that isn’t really being discussed though is the offensive line. Adrian Peterson is a year removed from...

Grading the Vikings Re-Signing of Everson Griffen
While it was somewhat expected the Vikings officially re-signed defensive end Everson Griffen to a five-year, $42 million contract, with 13 million fully guaranteed. Griffen has been a role player during his 4 years in Minnesota, but with the departure of Jared Allen he will finally get to show Viking fans what he has to offer. One thing is pretty clear, when he was on the field...

What should the Minnesota Vikings do with their secondary?
The 2013 season for the Minnesota Vikings was terrible to say the very least. Expectations were higher than they should have been after overachieving in 2012, and Christian Ponder didn’t take a third year leap forward as hoped. Sadly, the biggest problem last year, and moving forward, is the porous secondary. The Vikings gave up a pitiful 287.2 YPG through the air, and managed...

Two moves in free agency that could make the Vikings competitive again
In 2009, the Vikings had a stellar and young defensive line that helped them earn a spot in the NFC Championship game. For the last few seasons the line has struggled and is aging quickly.
