Could the Vikings be in the market for a new starting RT?  Earlier today, it was revealed that the team will be cutting both their back-up centers, Norm Katnik and Kyle Cook.  Unless the team plans on rolling with nothing behind Matt Birk - a guy who’s had injury problems in the past - they [...]

The Vikings wrapped up the preseason in mind-numbing fashion last night by defeating the Dallas Cowboys 23-14.  The starting offense played only the first series and did nothing.  The starting D also got one series, without the Williamses, E.J. Henderson or Antoine Winfield.  Probably the biggest news coming out of the game was that Brooks [...]

The preseason ends for the Vikings tonight against Dallas. The starters are only expected to play one series, so we’ll be getting a nice, long, boring look at our reserves. There’s only one really significant position battle going on - Artis Hicks v. Anthony Herrera for the RG spot; that’s a toss-up if [...]

What would Viking fans think about adding Dolphin Chris Chambers to our receiver corps?  Or Michael Clayton of Tampa Bay?  Or maybe the Jaguars’ Reggie Williams?  According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, all three are currently on the trading block (via ProFootballTalk).
Granted, none of those guys is exactly Cris Carter - but Chambers did [...]

TE Braden Jones has been waived/injured.  He looked like a promising prospect early in camp, and did end up catching a couple balls in preseason, but apparently the Vikings are happy with the tight ends they have.  Either that or, like last year, they simply don’t plan on using tight ends in the offense at [...]

The Vikings pared their roster down to the required 75 today by cutting three more players - WR Justin Surrency, CB Mike Hawkins and LB Cameron Siskowic. Hawkins and Siskowic were both injured in preseason action, hence their placement on the injured/waived list.

There are more trade rumors swirling around the team, though these are [...]

The Vikings brass can blow any smoke they want to - they were mortified by the way Brooks Bollinger played in the 3rd preseason game against Seattle. Hence their quick action in acquiring a new back-up quarterback to take his place behind Tarvaris Jackson. Today, the Vikings sent what’s reported to be a [...]

The Vikings have announced their first cuts.  The biggest name on the list is Drew Henson, who was competing with rookie Tyler Thigpen for the no. 3 QB spot.  It would be hard to see another team giving Henson a shot, meaning his NFL career is probably, mercifully, over.
The big punting competition has come to [...]

The Philadelphia Inquirer says the Eagles are shopping QB Kelly Holcomb, who has dropped to fourth on their depth-chart behind Donovan McNabb, A.J. Feeley and newly-drafted Kevin Kolb. The article mentions the Vikings and Falcons as Holcomb’s two main suitors, and says the Eagles are asking for a sixth-round pick in exchange but will [...]

The Vikings fell to 1-2 in the preseason by losing to the Seahawks at Qwest Field 30-13. For the Vikes, it was a game marked by offensive mistakes and, at times, shaky quarterback play - especially by alleged number 2 Brooks Bollinger, who may have finally demonstrated enough ineptitude to convince the organization that [...]
