During the spring, the Vikings were one of a handful of teams linked to Samuel. Minnesota ended up re-signing Byron Murphy, while bringing in free agent corners Isaiah Rodgers and Jeff Okudah.

Minnesota linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel was one of several Vikings players to call out a crushing block from receiver Kalif Raymond in Sunday's 27-24 upset of the Detroit Lions.

If the Vikings are going to continue their turnaround, it will be with the players currently on the roster. Though some thought the Vikings could be in position to make a splash after upsetting the Detroit Lions last weekend to get back to .500 on the season, the team allowed the NFL’s trade deadline to pass without making any moves.

The Vikings were without several key players during Wednesday's practice ahead of a tough contest with the Ravens at U.S. Bank Stadium this Sunday. Running back Aaron Jones (shoulder/toe), safety Theo Jackson (concussion), and Josh Oliver (foot) were among five players who did not practice on Wednesday, though only four of those were due to injury.

Jackson found out about Flores' blitz-happy approach in 2021. Four years later, he has an opportunity to show how much he’s learned.

All of that said, let's pour ourselves a cup of coffee and vent one last time about the Detroit Lions loss against the Minnesota Vikings! No doubt about it, football is a two way street. You need coaches to create an effective game plan and coach and you need players to go out and execute.

A key field goal block late in the Vikings' stunning upset of the Detroit Lions earned Levi Drake Rodriguez an NFL award.

Last month, a questionable block from Chiefs receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster prompted Lions safety Brian Branch to spark a post-game brawl.

Dallas traded its 2026 second-round, a 2027 first-round pick, and defensive tackle Mazi Smith to the Jets for Williams. Signed through 2027, Williams will average $24 million per season, making him the sixth-highest-paid interior defensive lineman in the NFL.
