Three Vikings players are ranked among the top 25 pending unrestricted free agents for the 2025 offseason in a new list from ESPN’s Matt Bowen and Jeremy Fowler. Let’s go through each one, see what Fowler had to say, and then give our own analysis on that player’s future. 8. Sam Darnold Fowler’s take: Minnesota…
Sam Darnold has been everything the Minnesota Vikings needed this season, and more. He signed as a bridge quarterback, for a modest $10 million. This offseason, though, he will be seeking a long-term home, a more permanent starting job and a much larger payday. There is almost no circumstance where it makes sense for Darnold…
As the Minnesota Vikings continue to smother opposing offenses — they’ve allowed just one touchdown and 13 total points in their last two games — fans and national media members have been wondering the same thing.

Since LaFleur took over as the Packers head coach in 2019, Green Bay has a perfect record against…
Before Dallas Cowboys pass-rusher Micah Parsons raised eyebrows with some interesting comments about head coach Mike McCarthy and the state of the team this past weekend, some suggested the Cowboys could make Parsons available this coming offseason in an attempt to acquire needed assets that could be used to bolster the club’s roster. For a piece published Wednesday, ESPN’s Dan…
Terence Steele isn’t very good. The fifth-year vet has allowed the third most pressures in the NFL from the tackle position in 2024. In Pro Football Focus’ pass block grades he’s fourth lowest among those with seven or more starts. And the seven sacks he’s given up ties him with backup OT Fred Johnson for worst in…
Caleb Williams has not lived up to expectations. The first overall draft pick was supposed to lead the Chicago Bears to the playoffs.

Some people are even suggesting that William’s disappointing play is the reason offensive coordinator…
The Houston Texans wide receiver corps has taken a hit over the past few weeks, losing Stefon Diggs and Nico Collins for multiple weeks.
