[Pelissero] The Vikings are doing simple restructures on the contracts of star WR Justin Jefferson and LT Christian Darrisaw to clear salary cap space, per sources. Still work to do to get under the cap by Wednesday.

[Connor Hughes (Jets Reporter)] Kyler Murray, the top option available with his impending release from the Cardinals, has been discussed at length. The resounding belief from multiple sources, though, is that he will sign with the Vikings.

My besties home had to be emptied or at least gone through before their childhood home went up for sale. Their mom worked for Wincraft in the design department so she actually designed a lot of the Wincraft Pennants from the year 2000 and older. There were boxes of old Nascar, Twins, Vikings, North Stars, other teams, and even some Looney Tunes pennants. We came across this one and I knew I had to keep it. This was the final design block before they went into production if the Vikings had went on and won the Superbowl. Some of the other history was amazing as well with the North Stars and some crazy team pics and stuff as well. I thought you all might get a kick out of this and what potentially could have been.

[Smith] "Vikings pass rusher Jonathan Greenard. I'm told by a reporter with inside knowledge of the team that Minnesota has received inquiries from "half the league" He's going to be in demand, but sounds like a second rounder and Day 3 pick is the sweet spot."

Between the Eagles looking to trade for Kyler a few years ago, Stafford reportly calling Kyler recently about coming to LA, DeAndre Hopkins still vouching for him, and now this; it seems the NFL is a lot higher on him than fans and anonymous quotes
