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.

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.

The Minnesota lost Game 2 of their best of 7 first round playoff series 7-3 at Dallas Wednesday night. The Wild chose to go with veteran goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury instead of Filip Gustavsson despite Gustavsson's 51 saves in Game 1 of the series Monday.

The Twins are 6-4 but played without some key offensive contributors Monday due to injury. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON.
