Vikes Get Down To 75
As we mentioned yesterday, the Vikings needed to get down to 75 players by today, and linebacker J Leman was the first to be waived. Today they waived tackle Bill Noethlich and wide receiver Marko Mitchell. They also placed Sidney Rice on the inactive/PUP list. This means Rice cannot play for the first six weeks [...]
Offensive Position Battles: You Decide
(UPDATE: My apologies that it took so long to get the polls working. Hopefully they are all set up correctly now and i’ve learned my technical lesson of the day. Thanks for the patience!) The Vikings will begin to make cuts today, and the 53 man roster will be finalized by the time they take [...]

Weekend Discussion: What Are You Going To Be Watching?
August 27th, 2010 Adam Warwas Posted in Features, Game Stories, Main, News, Offseason, Opinions, Roster Moves As much as a preseason game can matter, tomorrow’s matchup against the Seahawks matters most because the Vikings starting team will reportedly play the entire first half, and probably one series into the second half. This offseason has featured an onslaught of Vikings-related storylines to follow and I am wondering which one you will be [...]

Speculative Trades
What is more fun than putting some unfounded, unreasonable, and unlikely speculation out there on the internet? Nothing. So, today I offer up a healthy serving of trades that I think the Vikings could benefit from. I blame their recent trade for Greg Camirillo for giving me the idea to do this. Again, these are [...]
