Vikings Gab

Of all the things that happened over the last few days, the one that irks me most was some boneheaded player running their mouth to Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports about Childress and Favre’s relationship, and the locker room morale. 
I don’t understand why a player would do this right now.  Childress is the head coach [...]

They do it every morning.  Very early in the morning.  Long before my dogs sit at my bedside and whine at me to let them out.  Long before Mrs. Warwas presses “start” on our coffee maker.  Long, long before I want to wake up, the Minnesota Vikings hold training camp on my roof.
Okay, actually it’s [...]

Recently, there has been a lot of talk about the looming contract issues surrounding the Vikings roster.  Fans tend to get nervous when their team has numerous big-name players sitting there with only one year left on their contract, which is where the Vikings are currently positioned.
This regime has shown a commitment to keeping “the [...]

I know I have been somewhat harsh when it comes to defensive end Ray Edwards on this blog, which often results in protests from multiple readers.
I have my doubts as to whether or not the young defensive end has a future beyond 2010 with the Minnesota Vikings, but a recent article from our friends at [...]

Monday turned out to be a day featuring a flurry of activity out of Winter Park.
After minicamp wrapped up and Ray Edwards signed his RFA tender, the Vikings went to work tweaking the roster.
The started by signing rookie tight end linebacker (thanks for the fix, Johnny) Nate Triplett, who was selected in the 5th round.  Terms [...]

As expected, Ray Edwards is officially on the Vikings roster again.
Today, he signed his RFA tender which is essentially a one year contract worth $2.521 million.
Edwards has not been shy about expressing his displeasure in regards to the Collective Bargaining Agreement’s wording that kept him from hitting the open market this year.

Well, I am not going to lie… this is a sllllllllow week.
We’ve tried to keep busy in these parts by talking about Favre’s ankle, Ray Edwards’ contract (or lack of), introducing new members of the Vikings Gab team, and attempting to understand the most recent “ending” of the StarCaps saga.
I do think we are somewhat [...]

Much attention has been given to the reports that Vikings starting left end Ray Edwards will not be signing his RFA tender until the last second, and thus will be skipping a number of offseason activities including the mandatory minicamp.
It is fully his right to skip these events hardly anybody blames him.  As everybody knows, [...]

[EDITOR’S NOTE:  Over the next few weeks, we will be unveiling some in-depth articles that allow you to better know the newest Vikings draft class and undrafted free agents.  These articles are not intended to be “fluff pieces” like you will find elsewhere, but rather a comprehensive look at each of them as a person [...]

Tarvaris Jackson is once again an official member of the Minnesota Vikings.
According to Judd Zulgad, the reserve quarterback has signed his $1.176 million tender.
While it seems likely that the Vikings would like to hold Jackson’s rights for at least one more year at such a low price tag, but having Jackson sign the tender does [...]
