With every day that passed, I grew more and more confident that Pat Williams would return to the Vikings in 2010. Today, Williams’ agent confirmed that he plans to play in 2010 via a report from the Pioneer Press. This is great news for the Vikings, as they will have one less pressing need to [...]

Posted in Features, Injuries, Main, NFL Draft, Offseason, Opinions, Rumors [For more previews of this nature, click on the “2010 Offseason Tracker” tab at the top of this screen.] Middle linebacker is like the quarterback of the defense and the Vikings have some work to do at this position. It is perhaps the only position in which 2009’s starter will not be back for 2010, [...]
Introducing The “Offseason Tracker”
Ever wanted a “go to” spot to help yourself remember who is a free agent for the Vikings this offseason? Ever wanted to see what draft picks the Vikings have in the upcoming draft? This year you might want a one stop shop for reminding yourself of the confusing rules surrounding the “uncapped year” and [...]

Making Himself Known
After Ray Edwards predicted he would break the all-time sack record, I clearly remember Michael Strahan being a guest on Best Damnand being asked about the prediction. They showed Strahan a picture of Ray Edwards. “Who is that?” Strahan said calmly. “I’ve never heard of this guy.” Well, after a solid season, a spectacular post-season, [...]
Even More Confusing Rules Can Put McNabb Talk To Bed
Mike Florio at ProFootballTalk.com has provided us with even more information regarding the rules of an uncapped year. The offseason is being made particularly tricky for final eight teams like the Vikings, and even trickier for final four teams like the Vikings. We already have discussed a number of limitations the Vikings will face in [...]
