Vikings Gab

Suzy Kolber, Merril Hoge and Mark Schlereth discuss if Brett Favre would be a fit for the Vikings

I will make no secret of the fact that I do not want to see Brett Favre join the Vikings.  However, events during the last few days suggest that it might be a possibility.
Carefully chronicled by profootballtalk.com, there is something strange going on with Brett these days in a way that feels like when something [...]

The Vikings currently have $17.32 million in space underneath the cap.  The league issues manadated maximum amounts of the salary that can be spent on this years rookies based off of number and quality of draft picks.  The Vikings have been assigned a maximum of $3,064,512.
So even if the Vikings max out on their rookie [...]

In my initial reactions to the draft class, I gave the pick of inside linebacker Jasper Brinkley an “A” from the get-go.  The good folks, and new friends, over at www.patriotsdaily.com were able to interview Brinkley prior to the draft and have allowed us to post a small portion of the interview here at Vikings [...]

The Vikings were probably expecting a rash of negative, or at least semi-negative, analysis of their choice to select Percy Harvin with their first round pick.  However, they have countered to skeptics, like myself, quite quickly.
I have to admit, when I watched the most recent video on the Vikings Website (click here to see it) I [...]

One of the biggest questions surrounding the Vikings this offseason is “how in the heck do you fill the shoes of a guy like Matt Birk?”

There seems to be a new attitude and confidence emitting from Winter Park this offseason, particularly when it comes to taking carefully calculated chances on players with red flags.  For all that Wilf, Childress, and Spielman have seemed to improve the public’s image of the Vikings off-the-field behavior in recent years, it looks like something [...]

It is not too often that you can get excited about a player that 32 teams passed up in the draft two days ago.  However, I think Boise State running back Ian Johnson is someone Vikings fans can be glad is on the roster.  After all, the Vikings had to invest no draft picks to [...]

Much to my disdain, Pro Football Talk reports that Brett Favre might be trying to squirm his way back into the league.  Even more to my disdain, they (again) speculate that he may be trying to position himself to join the Vikings roster.
Favre’s agent, Bus Cook, had requested a release from the Jets roster back [...]

In a conference call with season ticket holders, vice president of player personnel Rick Spielman said that talks are ongoing with pro bowl cornerback Antoine Winfield.  If you recall, talks have been going on since about one month before the draft.  One has to wonder how the presence of rookie Asher Allen will affect the [...]
