Many think that this is a make or break year for Vikings head coach Brad Childress. Owner Zygi Wilf says that he has not made fact clear to his coach, and least not yet.
“We never make any preconditions on how the season should turn out or what conditions would be necessary,” [...]

As was expected, Vikings first-round draft choice Percy Harvin is a no-show at the team’s first practice of training camp.
The Vikings opened practice early Friday, but the 22nd overall pick is still in negotiations with the team on a contract. The Vikings have big plans for the versatile threat from Florida, which is why coach [...]

The Vikings have now made available tickets for their home games against the Packers and the Bears.  Here’s the press release from vikings.com:
Single-game tickets for the Vikings home games against the Green Bay Packers (10/5) and the Chicago Bears (11/29) will go on sale Monday, August 3, at 9:30 a.m. in person at the Metrodome [...]

Vikings fans are excited about Percy Harvin.  There is no denying it.
However, because he got in trouble in high school, has had a career riddled with injury, wasn’t a lot of people’s favorite guy in Florida, played in a gimmick offense with the gators, reportedly scored a dismal 12 on the Wonderlic test, failed a [...]

First, they probably don’t have any interest in Michael Vick.  Training Camp starts in like 20 seconds or something, so getting [...]

A rumor has been floating around league media types today that the Vikings have begun their due dilligence process of looking into Michael Vick.  The suggestion that the Vikings have interest was brought up to Zygi Wilf today.  Here is the story from PFT:
So I get an e-mail a little bit ago telling me that [...]

Here is a fun game we can all play.  Let’s see who can predict which player gets cut when Percy Harvin signs his rookie contract.  With Charles Gordon being waived and Kenechi Udeze announcing his retirement, the Vikings will only need to cut one player when they sign Harvin.

While we fully intend to take an in-depth look at the battle for every single roster spot during the Vikings training camp, here is a brief preview of each battle that could prove to be a little extra interesting.
1.  QUARTERBACK:  Supposedly Brett Favre is out of the picture, and Sage Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson will [...]

Kenechi Udeze has decided to hang it up after minicamp practices apparently became too strenuous for the former first round pick that has been in a battle with lukemia. 
After missing all of last season, hopes remained high that the defensive end would successfully climb back into the NFL arena.  Udeze is all set to earn [...]
