The Viking Age’s Adam Patrick and Sporting Sota’s Tyler Haag go over the latest Minnesota Vikings offseason news and updates on this week’s show.

The slow part of the offseason for the Minnesota Vikings is really beginning to take shape. Despite the 2018 NFL Draft being just a couple of weeks away, not a whole lot has been going on for the Vikings recently.

But this isn’t a bad thing either. A quiet period in an offseason for Minnesota is much better than the team being the center of attention because one of their players got in some off-the-field trouble. The Vikings have already been through this many times before.

On this week’s episode of the Bleeding Purple Podcast, Tyler and I went over a number of Vikings-related (and non-related) topics including…

  • New Vikings players get their jersey numbers
  • Which numbers have the Vikings retired?
  • Tyler still wants Janikowski to come to Minnesota
  • Cardinals develop a “health plan” for Sam Bradford
  • Stop feeling sorry for Bradford
  • Joe Webb and Matt Cassel are still alive
  • Christian Ponder should have played in the 2012 playoffs
  • Rodney Adams’ surprising retirement
  • Johnny Manziel and Colin Kaepernick both deserve another shot
  • Charles Johnson signs with the Jets
  • Former Vikings face off at WrestleMania
  • Conor McGregor making gingers everywhere look bad
  • Which position should the Vikings draft first?
  • 2018 NFL schedule coming out soon
