After a promising fourth quarter, McCarthy's challenges are hard to ignore. Can the Vikings turn this season around?

The Vikings acquired quarterback Sam Howell Saturday during the draft in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks. Howell is 24-years old and will be playing for this 3rd team in 4 years after being drafted by Washington in the 5th round in 2022.

The Vikings have addressed the offensive and defensive lines, defensive back, punter and running back in free agency. A position the Vikings are expected to add in free agency is quarterback.

The Vikings are off to an 0-3 start and the New York Jets are playing with a backup quarterback after Aaron Rodgers suffered a season ending injury. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON.

Kirk Cousins agreed to a 2-year contract extension with the Minnesota Vikings in 2020 and signed a 1-year contract ahead of the 2023 season, which is a fully guaranteed $35 Million deal. Cousins turns 35 on August 19 and is in a "prove it" contract.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson requested a trade this month because they appear far apart on working on a long term contract that Jackson is comfortable with. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON.

The Vikings have some roster decisions to make this offseason after their season ended Sunday with a 31-24 loss to the New York Giants Sunday. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON. He says the list of players who will either be gone from the roster or will take less money includes the following:

Heading into the season many Viking fans had mixed feelings about Kirk Cousins as the team's quarterback. Cousins' overall numbers aren't much different than years past but the 12 wins and 7 come from behind victories this season may have changed some minds.

The Vikings have played a bit short handed lately but could be getting to help this Sunday. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON. He says the Vikings could get both cornerback Cam Dantzler (ankle) and left tackle Christian Darrisaw (concussion) back from injury this week.

The Vikings snuck out a 28-25 win in London against the New Orleans Saints Sunday. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON. He explains that the offensive production is pacing behind last year's numbers despite the change in coaching staffs.
