High school football is in full swing across the country. The Gophers’ 29 commits in the class of 2027 were busy, and here are the most notable performances from the Week of Sep.
According to Jeremy Fowler, the Vikings are restructuring the contract of veteran CB Isaiah Rodgers to pick up extra cap space. Last March, Minnesota signed Rodgers to a two-year, $15 million deal with $8 million guaranteed.
On Saturday, the Minnesota Vikings announced that veteran safety Harrison Smith will return to the team for the 2026 NFL season. This will be the 15th year in the league for the former Notre Dame defender.
Justin Jefferson backed himself and refused to settle. In 2023, he reportedly turned down an offer worth more than $28 million per year from the Vikings, believing the deal did not match his value.
There have been 22 quarterbacks in NFL history to throw for 4,500 yards and 15 interceptions in the same season. How many can you name in five minutes?
The Minnesota Vikings are hoping to turn the page on a disappointing 2025 season that saw them fall out of the playoff race by Thanksgiving. They may have won their last five games to finish with a 9-8 record, but all that did was allow them to finish in third place and give them a tougher schedule than the fourth-place Detroit Lions.
All 32 teams have hope for a perfect 17-0 regular season as another year begins, but the odds aren't in their favor. As the season opens, we predict the first loss for each team in 2026.
The Minnesota Vikings have officially ended their brief relationship with running back Jermar Jefferson, waiving him from injured reserve on Friday in a move that amounts to an injury settlement and a clean break from the roster, via the NFL transaction log.
The Minnesota Vikings have a rivalry game against the Green Bay Packers on the docket for Week 1 this Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET during which their secondary will be tested by the Jordan Love-led Packers.
After the Harrison Smith contract, there were discussions about potential moves to maximize the salary cap, and we got one Friday night. The Minnesota Vikings are finding ways to create salary cap space even after signing safety Harrison Smith to a one-year deal worth up to $16.25 million.
Things are looking great for the Minnesota Vikings going into Week 1, and the Green Bay Packers aren’t nearly as healthy. The Minnesota Vikings are set to take on the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon, and the excitement is palpable.
Minnesota Vikings football is back. After a long offseason, we’ve arrived. And what an exciting way to start the season, with the rival Green Bay Packers coming to U.S.
Be it stars returning from late-season injuries to starter-level players who missed most or all of last season, the NFL features a host of rehab odysseys to follow as training camps near.
The Minnesota Vikings might have created something special. Kyler Murray and Justin Jefferson could become one of the best quarterback-receiver duos in football.
The Vikings will head into Sunday’s season opener against the Packers without any game designations on the final injury report, head coach Kevin O’Connell announced on Friday.
The Vikings are all set to kick off their 2026 season in grand fashion on Sunday afternoon when they take on the Packers at U.S. Bank Stadium. Before that happens, it’s time to get some bold predictions for this season on the record.
After 252 days, the Vikings are back to playing meaningful football. What’s happened since? Not much, just the firing of a general manager three weeks after their season ended, a months-long quarterback battle, a draft led by an interim GM, the hiring of Nolan Teasley, and the last-second return of a franchise legend.
When the Vikings drafted J.J. McCarthy with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, fans hoped the team finally found the right young quarterback to lead the franchise for many years to come.
McCarthy’s career took another turn on Wednesday when he was demoted to QB3 behind starter Kyler Murray and backup Carson Wentz.
Much of the offseason attention went to Kyler Murray taking over at quarterback, but the Minnesota Vikings also made a major change in the run game. They hired former Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith as assistant head coach, with his wide-zone expertise expected to bring more structure and balance to the offense.
This past weekend, Harrison Smith worked out an agreement to play for the Vikings in 2026. The deal was finalized after training camp, but team and player remained in contact with one another throughout the offseason in this case.
Jefferson seemed to pour cold water on such concerns regarding Murray.
The Green Bay Packers will be without their top defensive player for the season opener.
So, why did the powers that be give Murray the start over quarterback J.J. McCarthy?
McCarthy's inconsistent play when under center in 2025 — he threw for 1,632 yards with 11 touchdowns and 12 interceptions — caused the Vikings to change their tune on him as their future.
Jefferson shared what surprised him about Murray as the two prepare to begin their first season as teammates.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have realized they won't find many quarterbacks who are better than Mayfield. The Minnesota Vikings wish they could say the same after letting Darnold walk in 2025.
The contract for Dyson was disapproved on Tuesday, per the NFL transaction wire, making him a free agent.
